Air base near GHQ to be reactivated for CNAS

A mothballed airbase near to CDF GHQ has been reactivated and will be operated by the Clone Naval Air Service (even though it is near the centre of the continent and hundreds of miles from the coast!) A squadron of CNAS K45s will be stationed at the base, as well as Clone Marines. This is part of Admiral Anderson's plan to reinforce the defence of the core of the Clone Defence Forces with Clone Navy personnel (which Anderson trusts more than the Army!)

CNAS is to receive 100 more K45s and the Clone Marines is to be increased in size by 50% to 30,000 men. Two more Olana destroyers are likely to be also ordered to improve the protection of Anderson's floating headquarters.

Agentis found dead, coup declared over

Field Marshal Agentis has been found dead at a remote location in northern Ailier. It is thought Agentis took his own life after the surrender of his remaining forces near CDF GHQ. Several other senior officers who had joined Agentis were also found dead.

Admiral Anderson said the remaining leadership of the coup would be found and punished. Several hundred Clone Marines have arrived at CDF GHQ to help secure the base.

Coup collapses as Anderson makes appearance

CNS West Clone Republic, the helicopter carrier which is acting as the flagship of Admiral Anderson (his floating GHQ), has received emergency repairs following the drone attack. Anderson has returned to the carrier and made an address to the Clone Defence Forces general staff.

Anderson said that the coup of Field Marshal Agentis was collapsing after coup forces were surrounded and forced to surrender after a relentless pounding by Clone Naval Air Service and Clone Air Force bombers. Agentis is understood to have fled. Anderson said Agentis would be captured and punished.

Fighting on Cloneworld as coup attempted

Fighting has been reported at over a dozen locations across Cloneworld as troops loyal to Field Marshal Agentis, the head of the Ailier Military District, have tried to seize CDF GHQ, the main military communications hub and other strategic positions in central Ailier.

Elements of two armoured regiments and three infantry regiments have been deployed by Agentis, though air power he tried to use was quickly stopped. Clone Naval Air Service and Clone Air Force fighters have attacked coup forces positions. Unconfirmed sources say the coup is going badly and none of the main objectives have been achieved.

Admiral Anderson has called on the coup forces to surrender or face "elimination".

Explosions reported at CDF GHQ, suspected coup underway

There have been explosions reported at the CDF GHQ on Cloneworld and the Clone Army HQ north of Ailier City. Admiral Anderson has ordered a full lockdown of all Clone Defence Force sites on Cloneworld. The media has also been completely shut down.

Dino sources have said there may be a military coup underway. Several airstrikes have been reported by Clone Naval Air Service fighters against undisclosed locations on Ailier.

Anderson's flagship attacked by drones

The Clone Navy helicopter carrier CNS West Clone Republic, which is currently the Imperial Command Ship - Admiral Anderson's floating HQ, has been attacked by dozens of Molab type drones. The ship is supposed to stay over 100km off any coastline while Anderson is in attendance but for some reason the ship had approached the coast to be within 10km of the Ramiri area along the Ailier coast.

The ship was attacked by several dozen Molab type drones. The defences of the carrier and it's two escorts were were overwhelmed. All three ships have suffered damage, two Z26 helicopters were also destroyed, one while trying to take off. Admiral Anderson was not injured though there were six fatalities and a number of injuries.

Anderson has been taken to a secret location. An investigation is currently underway as to why the carrier was bought near the coast against protocol.

Clone Naval Air Service and Clone Air Force fighters attacked the launch sites of the drones though later analysis revealed the site had already been evacuated.
