The DDS say this would be insufficient for an invasion force and it is thought the Tarbotians are not interested in further territorial gain in the short or medium terms. "The Tarbotians like to properly cement their presence in new territory before thinking about new gains." an unnamed source said, "New Tarbot province for example was established over 40 years ago according to Dino and Porquatian sources and its only now they moved further to take ABBO space."
As for the ABBOs the DDS are reporting detecting a small party of ABBOs on an asteroid near Porquat 640. The ABBOs were killed by Porquatian troops. It is likely there are more small ABBO units still in existence but without the central control of ABBO 01 they are fairly harmless.
- The Dinos and UNP have announced plans to celebrate the 60th anniversary of first contact between the Dinos and Terrans which took place in June 2051 when a Dino fleet led by Ronald entered Terran space. Ronald will give a speech to the UNP on Terra and the Terran and Proxima 7 parliaments. A more lavish celebration was planned but recent tensions between the DDS and DTA have caused some plans like a joint military exercise to be shelved.
