The fourth Dino convoy to Loeuss commanded by Senator Jimmy has been ambushed by strong Utrek forces as it approached Loeuss. The fleet of 15 Dinomarks and 6 third-party transports was attacked by around 40 Utrek warships. It is thought the location of the convoy was betrayed to the Utrek as the route was a secret and cloaking measures undertaken.
Three of the transports were destroyed in the opening salvo. The transports were carrying Dino soldiers and AFVs from the 10th Dino Armoured Brigade. It is estimated around 2,000 Dinos were killed. 4 Dinomarks were also destroyed and 2 others damaged. Jimmy's ship was among the damaged ships and Jimmy had to transfer his flag.
The Dinos regrouped and fought back and managed to cost the Utrek 6 losses. The Utrek then withdrew, seemingly not wanting to lose any more ships. A fifth Dinomark was destroyed by damage caused earlier that resulted in a reactor overload though the crew managed to escape. In all 2 PTs, 1 NG and 2 XTs were destroyed, total Dino loss of life has been listed at 2,110 and a further 200 injured.
The convoy limped to a rendezvous with G-B-H's task force.
