CSE-E erupts as insurgency spreads

The Clone Star Empire - East is reeling after the ethnic Eritran insurgency has spread from Miliaris. Marcus has called a state of emergency and recalled all military reserves.

Laalande 21649's Clone Army HQ was hit by three drones (the Molab type used on Miliaris), two drones were also launched at the main airbase but were shot down by a K47 patrol. The airbase was hit by mortar fire though no aircraft were damaged.

Rendrial 4's main airbase was hit by mortar fire, one K85 was destroyed and the control tower knocked out of action. A car bomb was also exploded next to the army HQ, killing three soldiers.

Mintjulip's army HQ was hit hard by 7 drones, the head of the army on the planet was among twelve killed. A K85 was also shot down by a SAM. An unusual attack occurred at an army depot where a bulldozer was sent through the guardhouse before militants drove off the guards, and then looted weapons from the depot.

The two core planets of Woloron 12 and Austini 55 saw little trouble except for an aborted mortar attack on an army base on Woloron, but the two planets have much stronger military forces (and Clone populations) than the other CSE-E planets.

On Miliaris the conflict continues with a gun battle between Freedom Miliaris militants and Clone Army soldiers near the capital. Two drones also hit an army depot.
