Utrek preparing for offensive at Remedia Prime?

There are strong rumours that the Utrek are preparing to try and regain the initiative and resume their push for Remedia Prime. A powerful fleet of around 48 DDS and Remedian warships* are now protecting the Remedian capital but the Utrek can perhaps deploy a fleet of over 120 ships against them, many of these ships are older Kalahati Tuuls though.

The war has not gone to plan for the Utrek who have expended a lot of effort (and lost over 100 ships) in order to conquer one minor border planet (Mila) and invade another (Loeuss) which is turning into a savage and costly land battle. Its thought that a new General has arrived to take over fleet operations and re-inforcements have arrived, including 20 top-of-the-line Molentic Tuuls from the Utrek Capital Force that defends their central territory. Its unknown if the Reptoli Tuul is also in the area.

* Jane's is reporting the fleet consisting of 5 Pulsar, 6 Quasar, 1 Kenora, 2 Velocity, 10 Kalahati Tuul, 4 Kalahati Tuul 2, 6 Isometric, 10 Terran Sea, 3 Pentekonter and 1 Solaris. The Quasar-ILU and 2 more Isometrics are on the way to join the fleet which is under the command of The Orchid.
