MBO-New Sparta has said it cannot verify that an actual coup took place in the Clone Star Empire. This implies that Anderson staged the coup in order to eliminate his rivals and take sole power over the empire. NS said that it doubts Hardacre was behind any plot, and it is convenient that he has been killed and not captured.
Meanwhile fighting has continued across various planets in the empire as "rebel" elements are hunted down and killed by the CDF.
