The DDS know virtually nothing about the Mantae, a mysterious enemy who have invaded Utrek space on their far border, apart from the fact they are hard. They may one day know a lot more about them though as there are signs the Utrek are starting to wilt under the relentless strain of the war.
The Utrek are reported to have sent another army and 2 fleets into the fight against the Mantae after (as reported by Dino traders) the Mantae managed to break through a defence line after a large battle and attacked a Utrek planet with cobalt-60 nuclear weapons.
