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.

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.
