The Clone military junta has been criticised by Clone Star Empire commentators after it was revealed that the Clones have given the Dinos two mineral rich asteroids near to Lornaca Melnig. The asteroids will be jointly mined by Dino and Clone companies with the Dinos receiving 60% of all revenue and profits from sale of the minerals. It is thought the asteroids were given to the Dinos in return for help with restarting the Clone shipbuilding industry.
Admiral Anderson said the criticisms were unfair, he said that the asteroids would not be exploited without Dino help and even though they will receive the most benefit from the asteroids, the Clones will still receive billions of zarks over the next twenty years.
