Following their crushing defeat at the hands of the DDS the Utrek were given just 3 days to withdraw all military forces from Diareel. A desperate exodus of 1000s of military personnel has been taking place and the Utrek have been forced to destroy a huge amount of military equipment as they haven't the time to remove it from the planet. DDS forces monitoring report large amounts of brand new tanks and artillery are being blown up.. before the DDS blow them up themselves with a devastating orbital bombardment.
MBF, who commanded the devastating Panther attack during the battle, has now been put in charge of looking after the prisoners.
The Diareel loss has further weakened the Utrek Central Command, reeling already from the spectacular loss against the DDS & Dinos last year and a costly grind against the Mantae. Some reports claim its the last straw for some senior officers who have been replaced by a new generation. Its thought these younger officers are keen on ending the conflict with the DDS to concentrate on strengthing the greatly weakened Utrek Federation.
Windscorpion meanwhile is returning to Proxima 7 with part of the fleet, Sea Urchin being left to make sure the Utrek withdraw from Diareel on time.
