[@Tyki] It was sudden....but it was massive. A large call for metals, and other such items such as preserved foods, clothing, weapons, and mercenaries, the Clone empire called for it all, the Sergal reserves being bought out at a rapid rate. It was a massive shift in tone, as before the Clone empire rarely bought much from the Sergals, but right now, they were their best customers. Then...silence. After such a large amount of buying, and massive amounts of trade deals were being made, there was..silence...... Slowly, this silence spread over many allies of the Sergals, them vanishing without a trace, or a word. Diplomats would loose comunication with their worlds, and soon, the reason would appear before them. The Clone Empire began a massive, hostile expansion against all non-allied races, even wiping out Sergal allies in sheer moments, the clones mobilzing a military force unseen before, dwarfing their military might they had when they first allied with the Sergal Empire. Strange new clones, huge, beefy, and strong were produced, and it was speculated that Sergal genetics were being used. Logar couldn't be reached, at all, any coms directed at him ignored...this was most likely extremely startling to the Segals, as the Clones had been peace loving, diplomatic people at one point, but now fought with a blood lust like the Sergals of old. This was a massive advance... And it all happened in under 9 hours.
