The clones are rather quickly mired in the new economics of the world, most large cities having already completed the electronic conversions with the small towns still being worked on. Traders that had once shipped fanciful trinkets and luxurious food stuffs now shipped biofuel canisters, generators, solar cells, and panels with word reaching the clones of a new power source being worked on in the capital though there taxes aren't quite paid via excess electricity as they'd signed on for taxes on EVERYTHING which meant that they were shipping 5% of all crops, biofuel, and energy produced to the nearest city which in turn had actually lead to quite the boom in trade there, causing alloys unique to sergals that had not been discovered by the empire as well as various immigrants that wished to live amongst the aliens (most of which being male) in order to find work that they felt was not available to them elsewhere to arrive quite commonly.
