The head of the Clone Space Navy, and member of the ruling Junta, Admiral Armstrong has said that space ship production would resume by the end of the year (or earlier) and would then remain steady for the foreseeable future rather than the stop and start (and mostly stop) that has plagued the industry over the last ten years.
The Junta have said they have seized four hundred million zarks from the now disbanded Church of Oojok which will be used for the ship building budget. Hundreds of church and Religious Police sites will be sold off to also raise funds for the military, the Junta said.
Meanwhile, the RP attack on the northern port has said to have been ended by Clone Navy forces. Over one hundred RP terrorists (as the Junta call them) are thought to have been killed as their unarmoured vehicles were struck by CNAS fighters and helicopters, and subsequent follow-up by Clone Navy Defence Brigade troops.
