Dinos to peacekeep on Oscar?

The situation on Oscar continues to deteriorate on the human side. A recent DDS survey team found rival armed gangs battling on the streets of the capital and a near total collapse of law and order and infrastructure. Because of the Clone element on the planet the UNP have been wary of sending DDS forces in, the HCS have made no secret of the fact they would respond by deploying their own troops.

However a solution may be to bring in a third-party. It is thought that the Dino 11th Legion is preparing to be deployed to the planet to restore law and order and lay the ground work for a UNP effort to restore an elected leadership. Ronald discussed and agreed with the plan during his visit to DDS GHQ recently, so state unnamed sources close to the DDS heirarchy. The 11th Legion has also begun unscheduled training in the Dino urban warfare training site near Yavilanda, observers report a build-up of stores at Upper Yulan airbase and a large number of transport Dinomarks being assembled there.

According to our sources in the Dino Army a detachment of the elite 6th Legion has already headed out to Oscar to survey the situation and find a suitable landing point. The 6th Legion and an SS-D brigade will then support the landing of the 11th Legion which will also include an armoured brigade of the SS. The Dinos have agreed to the mission in return for a 100 year lease and landing rights for a space base on New Arit reports Janes Space Defense Daily.

Its all rumours and speculation now but if the mission is already underway then we should expect confirmation from the Dinos and the DDS soon. The reaction of the HCS is unknown.
