Hot on the heels of news of the first DDS engagement against the Utrek the Dinos have reported that their 3rd Legion launched an attack earlier today on one of the attacking Utrek fleets. The force of 42 Army and SS Dinomarks attacked the fleet of 100+ Utrek warships but were trapped when 40 more Utrek ships decloaked and boxed them in. The Dinos have said that all their ships were destroyed though around 74 Utrek ships were destroyed too. Some ships are said to have been able to launch escape pods but the Dinos said most of the crews are feared lost including the Legion commander Legate Ouransaur and Tribune Gibson.
Because of the sheer number of losses the Utrek invading fleet has been stopped stone dead and is thought to have begun withdrawing to reserve units at Loeuss (where a ground battle continues between Utrek and Remedian forces - though the Utrek are winning). Consul Ronald hailed the courage of the 3rd Legion and said the Dinos had paid a heavy "blood sacrifice" to slow the invading forces. It is now likely the DDS will be able to get it's reinforcements to Remedia Prime well before the Utrekians. Ronald said that the Dinos would be sending another legion to assist the DDS and Remedians.
