The Dinos have entered negotiations with the Clones about buying the Clone Space Missile (CSM). Its thought the Dinos have explored developing their own interstellar missile like CSM or New Sparta's LRM but in the end decided it would be preferable to buy the Clone one. As the Clones have already sold CSM to the Rectoids it is thought they would be interested in selling it.
CSM on Pulsin would be able to reach the core parts of the Bolitic Confederacy which appeals to the Dinos. New Emperor MBH is thought to be also interested in funding a new battlecruiser Dinomark - which comes between the RS and AM in size.

Clones add 3 new space ships to fleet
The Clone Space Navy has had a rare bit of good news with 3 new ships joining the fleet after an extended period of construction and delay. Two Cosmos CG cruisers and one Shark SKB frigate have been built. However the Molentic Tuul MTM2 has been delayed until next year (no surprise as construction has not started yet).
The head of the Clone Defence Forces Admiral Anderson welcomed the new ships but acknowledged that the Space Navy had suffered the most from the recent defence budget squeeze. He said though that this was largely due to money being ringposted for the huge Soulaki SLM battlecruiser upgrade.
But things would improve for the Space Navy in 2118 as much of the Soulaki SLM programme had now been paid for. He promised more ships would be built in 2118.

Molab order 2 more Pentekonter-MEs
Molab has ordered 2 more Pentekonter-ME/105 minesweepers. These will join the 6 they already operate on behalf of the Free Eritran States. Unlike the earlier ships which were jointly funded it is thought Molab are buying these extra ships on their own.
As part of the order all ships will receive equipment and software updates to bring them up to the same standard as NS's own Pentekonter 044Ms.

Knobhead considering standing down?
NS Commander Knobhead has suggested that the NS Commander position be turned into a presidency with limited terms, somewhere between 3 and 5 years. He said that people could be be NS Commander more than once but would have to stand for election each time.
This has sparked speculation that Knobhead is thinking of standing down of course. He has been in post since 2115 and has said before he does not think he will be commander for a long time. Later on his office issued a clarification that he is not going to stand down though this will not stem the speculation much!
