Character of the week : Captain Clone
Captain Clone is one of the legends, one of the biggest names in HCS history. Captain Clone was one of the first soldiers recruited into the HCS by Oojok. Before this he served as a Centurion in the Clone Army of the pre-human contact Clone Nation. Captain Clone proved a soldier of rare skill and soon rose to prominence in the HCS, becoming the head of the HCS.
The HCS suffered numerous heavy defeats due to a lack of training and equipment but managed to avoid total defeat thanks to Captain Clone's leadership. Under his strategy the HCS grew to become a force that first matched and then destroyed the DDS culminating in Total Triumph. Captain Clone's stock in the empire was by now at an all-time high but his enemies were circling.
The Church hated Captain Clone, fearing in him a secular successor to Oojok, they engineered his downfall. They framed him for attempted murder on Oojok and Captain Clone was sent to prison. A few years later Captain Clone was released and given a seemingly suicidal mission : kill Windscorpion.
Captain Clone led a surprise attack on DDS GHQ but failed to kill Windscorpion in an epic battle, however Rotarios shot Windscorpion in the back, killing the DDS icon. Captain Clone returned to Cloneworld in triumph. Oojok restored him to HCS commander-in-chief.
Later on when Oojok re-organised his empire he made Captain Captain the head of the "western empire", a prestigeous role that makes him the defacto deputy to Oojok. The signs are that Oojok wishes to take the empire along a more secular course and Captain Clone is the man to lead it, will he have the last laugh on the clergy?

Bomb blasts rock Porquat 640
Seventeen bomb blasts across 3 major cities on Porquat 640 shattered the peace on sunday. Over 45 people have been reported killed by the explosions, including 4 DDS soldiers of peace. These attacks are the first for 7 months since the DDS liberating forces launched a crackdown on remnants of the old unprofessional regime. It is not known who is behind these attacks but Sea Urchin, the officer in charge of DDS forces on Porquat 640 suspected the insurgency to be the work of ultra-nationalist forces.
DDS Director Of Operations Action Painting condemned the attacks as "An assault on professionalism by people who have yet to realise the benefits of the New DDS which are personal growth, goal achievement and self-actualisation." Action Painting promised a "package of measures" to tackle the problem though he added, "In real terms acts of insurgency are down 47% on last year."

Character Of The Week : Redjec
Redjec, the New DDS head of security is a model professional in the New DDS; which stands for personal goal targetting, rightsizing and self-actualisation. His early career in the DDS is shrouded in obscurity, he joined the DDS in 2099 and served as a soldier in the 3rd DDS Infantry Brigade.Seeing no future in the army he transferred to the Space Fleet and soon rose to first mate on the SS Isometric under the command of Captain Quarz. His relationship with Quarz was acrimonious, and he sought to usurp his commander who he regarded as wetter than the Manchester weather forecast.
Redjec was an early convert to the New DDS and he helped in bringing down the obsolete old regime of sadness, financial prudency and degenerate activity and replacing it with the New DDS; which stands for personal growth, professional realisation and focus-group driven strategy. He led the first brigade of Hoods to crush dissent under the steel boot of professionalism!
With Action Painting's promotion to Director Of Operations Redjec took over DDS Security and has proven adept in the fight against unprofessionalism. However he has shown a weakness in his obsession with the downfall of Quarz, maybe he veers towards being off-message. We suggest he redirects his professional goal towards holistic self-actualisation.
