Viceroy Caratore and Emperor MBH have issued a joint demand to the Clones and FES to end their war immediately. They called on the war to end and for the FES to withdraw from the Clone Star Empire. They said that humanitarian and financial aid would be available to the FES who suffered a deadly nuclear attack earlier in the week.
Communications have now been restored to Helinox and Molab, the attacks on both were not quite as bad as earlier feared. Only military targets including the military HQs of both planets were targeted though these were close to the planetary capitals and there was some damage to outlying suburbs but the centres of the capitals were not hit. The death toll is still expected to be in the thousands. Orbital facilities were also hit and largely destroyed.
Caratore and MBH said that further nuclear attacks by both sides must not take place. Neither the Clones or FES have yet to respond though an emergency meeting of the FES is to be held on Sear N7 as soon as possible.
