Captain Clone offers terms to Oojok
Captain Clone has offered Oojok, Sleeze and their families freedom from persecution and peaceful exile in return for the flagship Mighty Oojok to the HCS and an agreement to not pursue opposing his coup. Captain Clone is also thought to have held talks with the Dinos and agreed with them for Oojok's exile to be there in return for Dino assets on Cloneworld being left intact.
Oojok has not replied yet but its not thought he has much choice.

Faction In Focus : Porquat 640
The Porquatians really punched way above their weight a few years ago, at one time they were pitted against all three Central Powers and were holding their own. Of course now their fleet has been wiped out and the planet is occupied by the DDS so they didn't hold their own for long...
The peace of the end of the Third Clone War was shattered when the aggressive Porquatians launched an attempt to defeat the Aritans and dominate the Rim Worlds. Possessing a small but powerful fleet, augmented by Utrek finance and technology, the Porquatians quickly defeated the Aritans and were posed to invade. The DDS led a tri-partite force with the Dinos and HCS to oppose the Porquatian aggression. The three Central Powers were nearly drawn into a war between themselves when the first battle ended in a fiasco, later attributed to Rectoid interference. Its now thought the Rectoids were in control of certain members of the Porquat 640 government and wanted to weaken the Central Powers for their own ends.
The war ended disasterously for the Porquatians, 98% of their fleet was destroyed and the DDS defeated them with their new biogenic weapons that destroyed crops on one of the continents on Porquat 640. Now the Porquatians are under control of the DDS but it is a difficult task for the occupiers with frequent insurgency being a drain on DDS manpower and finance, its thought the DDS will soon withdraw their forces.
The Porquatians are rather unpleasant, aggressive and xenophobic but are also brave fighters and innovative. Their Quagan and Xian warships were an unpleasant surprise to the DDS, having the edge for a time. In fact the DDS think that alone they would have struggled to defeat the Porquatians, only with the Dino help was success assured. If they could be bought into the DDS fold they would be a very useful ally...

Work starts on Rhombus frigate
6 Isometric frigates are to be rebuilt as Rhombus class long-range scout frigates in order to replace the Solaris II. 3123 Phanerzoic has been withdrawn from service to become the first ship to be converted. The fuselage will be extended by 15m to allow greater storage space and more comfortable living space for the crew (which will also be increased to 34). The engine will be replaced with the TL-05 engine which also will be in the Terran Sea Block 3.
The Rhombus will be fitted with an advanced long-range communications system being developed by DDS Research however this is unlikely to be ready before the end of 2107 so the first few examples will need to have this fitted after entering service.

Clones announce F-40S programme
In a slightly surreal air amid the continued unrest on Cloneworld a HCSAF General announced details of the F-40S programme, which will eventually upgrade 1000 of the backbone F-40 fighter-bombers and keep them competitive for another 20 uears.
General Yuela said that the F-40S was a hybrid of the classic F-40 and technology from the next generation F-45. The F-40S would use avionics, radar, engines and other items from the later aircraft. The aircraft would also have vector thrust and some changes to the wing to improve agility. Although it will not be stealthy like the F-45 the F-40S will have some small changes that will reduce the radar signature.

Continued skirmishes across the Empire
The RP have strong forces on Randalf 74 and are thought to have tried to seize the capital. The 2nd RP Armoured Brigade advanced on Randalf City but was met by HCS forces and cut up. The RP fled to the town of Telira where they are now holding out.
Captain Clone has repeated his call for peace, he said that all RP soldiers who surrendered and publicly recanted their worship of Oojok would be allowed to live. The alternative was death. He also announced that all temples of Oojok would be closed and worship of Oojok was to be banned. The cult of Orach the space snake would become the state religion again as it was before the cult of Oojok rose to prominence. Its thought that a process of De-Oojokification has already begun with references to Oojok are erased.
As for Oojok himself the future looks bleak, representatives of Captain Clone met him at the Cloneworld embassy at Hexian City, Proxima 7 and they made it clear that there was no possible chance he would ever return to Cloneworld.
