A Utrek defector who fled to the Dinos some months ago is reported to have told the Dinos that the Utrek are developing a new kind of weapon for which there is no known defence! The weapon has been called a sub-atomic disruptor by the Dinos and the beam rips apart the atoms of anything it meets at a sub-atomic weapon. This includes the atoms that make up shielding. The weapon will be the primary armament on the new Reptoli Tuul cruiser and be retro-fitted to late-model Molentic Tuul it is thought.
A further worrying aspect of this is that Dino and DDS intellignce officers think the Utrek are planning a mass attack on the Central Powers in 2 years. They cite the fact that in around 22 months the first squadron of Reptoli Tuul will be in service and also spies have obtained Utrek scheduled maintenance lists for it's fleet. The Utrek are due to perform all needed heavy maintenance over the next year and should have over 90% of it's 1100+ strong fleet available in around 20-22 months time. Its thought the Utrek might field an invading force of around 500 ships, spearheaded by the Reptoli Tuul and an estimated 30-40 Molentic Tuul equipped with the new weapon.
