MBO-New Sparta has been forced to adjust it's force structure and systems due to the loss of Starbot as a tier 1 ally. Updated security protocols were rolled out overnight to the entire MBO-New Sparta removing Starbot from access to NS data and secure communications. Starbot Commander S101 has given NS a month to remove their military facilities and personnel from Starbot, though this should not take that long. An NS transport is en route to facilitate the removal.
The loss of Starbot as a refuelling and marshalling point is where NS will feel this change the most though nearby Aldebra will be a suitable replacement. Facilities chief Boxman said the orbital facilities at Aldebra would be upgraded this year.
NS has not officially commented on Starbot's decision to join the DTA. Viceroy Caratore is privately said to be furious.
