Clones intercept Molab ship near Miliaris

A Clone Space Navy patrol has intercepted a Molab warship (thought to have been one of their Isometrics) which crossed the border and approached the Miliaris system. After a brief stand off the Molab ship retreated back over the border.

The Clones have accused Molab of supplying the Freedom Miliaris militants who have recently launched a series of attacks against the Clone military on the planet. The Clones say a SAM which shot down a Clone Air Force plane a few days ago was probably supplied by Molab. 

Molab has denied this, they suggested the FM may have bought it on Amazon.

CAF aircraft shot down on Miliaris

A Clone Air Force K85 COIN aircraft has been shut down during anti-militant operations on Miliaris. One unconfirmed report states the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile. Telemetry received from a nearby K72 Elint aircraft states the SAM may have been of NS origin.

The type has been supplied to the Free Eritran States, especially Molab. The CSE-E has warned the FES to not interfere in Clone affairs.

Molab buy 40 MRMs

Molab have ordered forty Medium Range Missiles from NS for immediate delivery. Molab's four Isometrics (3 EMMs and 1 ME) are all receiving an upgrade to deploy the MRM. This includes two external pylons and tactical software updates.

Molab is expected to be operational with MRM by the end of the year, this will be a great strategic asset for Molab giving them a powerful stand-off attack capability. 

CSM launchers destroyed on Miliaris

Marcus is demanding answers from the military leadership on Miliaris following another attack by the Freedom Miliaris militant group. A group of insurgents broke into an army base on Miliaris (the one that came under mortar fire earlier in the year) and destroyed two CSM mobile launchers. They attempted to get into a store where CSM rounds are stored but were killed by base guards. A Clone Army source said no CSMs were damaged and nuclear warheads are stored separately at another (secret) location.

The Clone Army has launched air attacks on suspected FE positions in ethnic Eritran areas on the planet though a civilian source has said it was considered unlikely any militants were hit in the attacks, though a lot of innocent civilians are thought killed.

Contact lost with NS ship

Contact has been lost with the Nectar destroyer SS Nigeria. It was on patrol near to Aldebra and is reported to have encountered a Starbotian ship. No other details have been revealed, an unnamed source said that the status of the destroyer is unknown.

NS have despatched two other ships from Aldebra to investigate.

Freedom Miliaris launch more attacks on Clone military

The Freedom Miliaris militant group has launched a second series of attacks on the Clone military on Miliaris. A car bomb was exploded outside of a Clone Army administration centre. A Clone Air Force transport came under fire as it was coming into land at an airbase, the plane sustained damage though was able to make a safe landing.

The Clone Army has not said how many personnel were killed or injured in these attacks. A squadron of COIN aircraft is being sent from Austini 55 to bolster the air power available on the planet. A regiment of soldiers experienced in anti-terrorist operations has also been sent.
