Possible Terrasaur warship detected near Voth

A Voth Space Navy Kalahati Tuul has had an encounter with a strange ship near Pinkax 807. The ship shadowed the Voth ship for several hours using a mixture of cloaking technology and sensor spoofing. The Voth were unable to assertain much about the ship. After several hours the ship then fired an energy shot at the Voth ship (which missed - though it is thought intentionally) and disappeared into a full cloak.

Later analysis by the Dinos indicates the ship may have been Terrasaur as the energy signature is similar to that detected on Terrasaur ships before. Emperor MBH has ordered 4 more Dinomarks to go to Voth.

Former HCS general says 4th Clone War is coming!

General Gouy-Biut is well known for controversy, often appearing on Clone TV to make inflammatory statements. His recent appearance on a Proxima TV channel sparked a sensation across the UNP as he said the 4th Clone War would begin within the next 10 years. "There is no doubt in my mind that the Clone Defence Forces are preparing for a 4th Clone War with the DDS, or whatever they are called these days." he said.

He added, "We [the Clones] have developed strategic weapons and are now closing the space fleet gap. By the late 2120s we will be ready to fight Sparta again and finally defeat them!"

New Sparta did not get involved in the controversy though another former HCS officer, General Yuek said that Gouy-Biut is always spouting nonsense and reminded people that he had been kicked out of the Clone Army for ordering the execution of DDS prisoners during the 1st Clone War when he had commanded the 35th Infantry Division. "Gouy-Biut is well known for his hatred of humans, i would not take much notice of what the old fool says." Yuek said.

However some in NS and the UNP will know that there is a kernel of truth in what the general said. The Clones have finally got over their financial problems that stalled their development for over a decade and are now improving their armed forces.

Operation Civilian Partnership 2117

The annual disaster relief exercise began on Monday, this year it is based on Mars and Terra and involves recovery from massive loss of computer systems after an EMP attack. NS and UNP personnel will practice in a low-tech scenario co-ordinating the delivery of relief supplies and the evacuation of "injured" civilians.

An abandoned mining settlement on Mars will be used for most of the exercises. It will be subjected to a real EMP attack using an NS pulse weapon (fired by the deployment flagship SS Weasel, a Warrior 16A bomber). NS and UNP personnel will then have to see how they cope without most of their tech toys! The ships involved will be:

016-110 Weasel (flagship)
051-102 Centurion
047-101 Fighting Falcon
047-202 Penguin
063-103 South East Asia
073-112 Butane
075-109 Group
