Marcus says CSE-E needs urgent military investment

Marcus, the head of the Clone Star Empire - East (CSE-E) has said the armed forces of this part of the empire are in urgent need of investment. The space fleet is especially in need of renewal, much of the fleet consists of the Kalahati Tuul S which is due to reach the end of it's fatigue life in the late 2120s but as yet there are no firm plans for replacement.

Unfortunately there is a general lack of money for military investment for the empire as a whole due to the financial problems of the empire over the last decade. The Clones may have to resort to yet another life extension refurbishment for the Kalahati Tuul S fleet, to push their withdrawal back in the 2130s. The ships are fairly obsolete already.
