Nominations close in a few hours for the NS Presidency, it seems unlikely anyone will now stand against Sea Urchin who therefore will be elected as president by the Central Committee next month barring any disasters. Sea Urchin gave a speech at DDS City where he outlined his plans for NS commercial activities.
Raising money from commercial activities such as arms sales has become very important for NS with a target of raising 10 billion zarks a year in this way set a few years ago (NS will fall well short this year after a disappointing sales campaign). Sea Urchin said that a spin-off company called NS Investments will be created if he becomes President.
NS Investments will bring together the NS Exports Agency and other commercial off-shoots under one umbrella. There will be increased tie-ups with third parties though Sea Urchin ruled out a rumoured purchase of Consolidated Spacecraft by NS. Instead NS would increase its partnership with the spaceship maker.
Consolidated Spacecraft build the basis of the Friendship/Olympus/Defender family for NS under their Avery-Dunlop subsidery as the Star Rider. Sea Urchin said that a next generation Star Rider would be developed using NS improvements and an e-Core based engine. NS taking royalties from each sale. Sea Urchin said such partnerships would feature more in future.

Oojok orders Clone Defence Forces to prepare for war with NS
The Clone Star Empire has accused New Sparta of operating in its territory and violating its sovereignty. NS has confirmed that a warship (a Panther class ship according to the Clones) did stray into CSE space due to a "navigation error". The head of the CDF Admiral Anderson said the NS warship was in Cloneworld orbit, "Quite an error."
WIndscorpion himself is claimed to have been on Cloneworld, the Clone Air Force bombing an area North of Beyond Micom, six Clone Army troops are reported to have been killed and a Z26 helicopter destroyed. The Clones claim this was done by Windscorpion. NS are denying any personnel were on the planet. Privately the Clones are admitting that the damage caused by bombing of the area means that any way of truly knowing what happened to the troops will remain unknown.
Oojok has ordered the Clone Space Navy to prepare for war with NS, however NS consider this to be simply rhetoric. NS is maintaining a high alert along the border however.

Explosions reported on Cloneworld
Cloneworld is on full-alert and the rest of the Clone Star Empire also on the highest non-war alert status. NS monitors have reported explosions in the Micom province of the planet. There are no military exercises scheduled and the explosions were reported in the countryside North of the provincial capital Beyond Micom (and Cloneworld's second city).
There have been no official word as to what is behind these explosions (or even that they happened) but the CDF have rushed 3 Red Lizard special force regiments to Micom.
