Klatoonie - There have been multiple reports of Republic ships that are now hanging in orbit above Klatoonie. Notably, multiple Nebulon-D Escort Frigates have been sighted above the Outer Rim world. What is most notable is that these ships are normally exclusively sold to the New Republic by Kuat Dive Yards. Also, Twin-Tail fighters have also been spotted around Klatoonian airspace, despite laws regulations that restrict their use to the New Republic navy.
Interestingly, the prominent Republic symbol on the Nebulon-D Escort frigates were removed, so either Republic decided to sell or to donate these ships to Klatoonie, but with no Chancellor it is unlikely the Republic government facilitated such transfer themselves. New Republic Sector Rangers have been spotted on the Kuat Drive Yards, indicating that something may be amiss about the transfer of those ships, leading speculation that this may impact Republic war-readiness.
There are also mass protests and riots on-going on Klatoonie as living standards on the outlying outer world plummeted with mass budget cuts for any social programs and funding for emergency services being slashed. People are speculating that Klatoonie purchased the New Republic ships at great cost to even it's citizenry.
In the past, there have been speculation that Kuat Drive Yards has been selling non-combat ships such as transports and getting material from Sith aligned worlds, their stocks having crashed after Senator Cal Starro's sanctions bill passed the Galactic Senate.
Regarding the New Republic ships on Klatooine, we have reached out to the Republic Ministry of Defense for comment.
