Two Miliaris towns rise up against "Clone invaders"

Two towns on Miliaris, mostly inhabited by ethnic Eritrans, have rised up in rebellion against the Miliaris authorities. Clone inhabitants of the towns have been attacked and, some reports say, driven out of their homes and out of town. The Eritrans have said they no longer recognise the "Clone invaders" as the government of Miliaris.

The Clone Army has mobilised troops to surround the two towns though local military leaders are wary to not enter the towns yet due to fears of sparking a larger rebellion. No Clones were killed in the actions in the two towns though some received injuries. 

The Freedom Miliaris militant group has said they will support the populations of the two towns against the Clone authorities.

NS concede Argon 7 Sa Sao behind destruction of ship

Following analysis of telemetry provided by the Starbotians, as well as a material analysis of the remains of SS Nigeria, New Sparta has conceded that it was the Argon faction of the 7 Sa Sao which destroyed their ship not the Starbotians.

Starbotian leader S101 said that the Argon tried to steal their new ship which was on trials. The Argon disabled I-1A but S101 said they were able to restore power while the Argon were fighting the NS ship and then was able to damage and chase off the Argon ship.

Caratore has called a meeting of senior officials, more ships may be sent to reinforce NS at Aldebra.

ABBOs are back in more dangerous form, the Dinos warn

The dangerous robot menace, the ABBOs, have returned the Dinos have warned and were responsible for the loss of a number of ships over the last few months. A long range patrol, run by thought to have been Real DDS, has investigated the loss of the ships and encountered the ABBOs. They engaged the ABBOs in battle and were lucky to survive according to one source.

The Dinos said that the ABBOs seem to have merged with an organic species of unknown origin. This is thought to make the ABBOs even more dangerous as it makes them more unpredictable.

NS accuse Starbot of destroying ship

The Nectar destroyer SS Nigeria has been confirmed to have been destroyed after wreckage was found in deep space near to Aldebra. Viceroy Caratore has said there is evidence the Starbotians were involved as Nigeria had been following I-1A when contact had been lost with it.

Caratore has demanded an explanation from Starbot and has threatened them with "revenge". However, the DTA were quick to warn MBO-New Sparta that an attack on Starbot would be an attack on the DTA and would have very serious circumstances.

Clones intercept Molab ship near Miliaris

A Clone Space Navy patrol has intercepted a Molab warship (thought to have been one of their Isometrics) which crossed the border and approached the Miliaris system. After a brief stand off the Molab ship retreated back over the border.

The Clones have accused Molab of supplying the Freedom Miliaris militants who have recently launched a series of attacks against the Clone military on the planet. The Clones say a SAM which shot down a Clone Air Force plane a few days ago was probably supplied by Molab. 

Molab has denied this, they suggested the FM may have bought it on Amazon.

CAF aircraft shot down on Miliaris

A Clone Air Force K85 COIN aircraft has been shut down during anti-militant operations on Miliaris. One unconfirmed report states the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile. Telemetry received from a nearby K72 Elint aircraft states the SAM may have been of NS origin.

The type has been supplied to the Free Eritran States, especially Molab. The CSE-E has warned the FES to not interfere in Clone affairs.

Molab buy 40 MRMs

Molab have ordered forty Medium Range Missiles from NS for immediate delivery. Molab's four Isometrics (3 EMMs and 1 ME) are all receiving an upgrade to deploy the MRM. This includes two external pylons and tactical software updates.

Molab is expected to be operational with MRM by the end of the year, this will be a great strategic asset for Molab giving them a powerful stand-off attack capability. 

CSM launchers destroyed on Miliaris

Marcus is demanding answers from the military leadership on Miliaris following another attack by the Freedom Miliaris militant group. A group of insurgents broke into an army base on Miliaris (the one that came under mortar fire earlier in the year) and destroyed two CSM mobile launchers. They attempted to get into a store where CSM rounds are stored but were killed by base guards. A Clone Army source said no CSMs were damaged and nuclear warheads are stored separately at another (secret) location.

The Clone Army has launched air attacks on suspected FE positions in ethnic Eritran areas on the planet though a civilian source has said it was considered unlikely any militants were hit in the attacks, though a lot of innocent civilians are thought killed.

Contact lost with NS ship

Contact has been lost with the Nectar destroyer SS Nigeria. It was on patrol near to Aldebra and is reported to have encountered a Starbotian ship. No other details have been revealed, an unnamed source said that the status of the destroyer is unknown.

NS have despatched two other ships from Aldebra to investigate.

Freedom Miliaris launch more attacks on Clone military

The Freedom Miliaris militant group has launched a second series of attacks on the Clone military on Miliaris. A car bomb was exploded outside of a Clone Army administration centre. A Clone Air Force transport came under fire as it was coming into land at an airbase, the plane sustained damage though was able to make a safe landing.

The Clone Army has not said how many personnel were killed or injured in these attacks. A squadron of COIN aircraft is being sent from Austini 55 to bolster the air power available on the planet. A regiment of soldiers experienced in anti-terrorist operations has also been sent.
