The Utrek lost 9 ships when the Dino relief force launched a surprise attack on the Utrek warships in orbit around Loeuss. The force of some 20 Dino ships then entered Loeuss orbit and around 8 Dinomark XTs then entered the atmosphere and launched a series of attacks on Utrek Army positions before landing in the Remedian rear. This relief force is carrying supplies such as weapons and medical supplies and also the 8 XTs will form a ground support squadron for the ground forces. A Dino Army brigade is to be deployed in another later fleet.
One Dinomark was moderately damaged in the space battle and another in the ground attack but both ships were able to continue their missions. The bulk of Senator Spikeson's force has now retreated to link up with the second relief force.
