For some decades the main enemy of the Dinos was the ABBOs, a robotic race of unknown origin. Their real name is unknown, the Dinos have called them ABBOs (Automated Bionic Battle Organisms) since first encountering them in 2073. It is thought the ABBOs are the robot soldiers of a now unknown and extinct race.
The ABBOs gave the Dinos a lot of trouble earlier on because of their superior technology and numbers however after 2091 Dino technology surpassed the ABBOs (whose rate of technological improvement is predictable and slower) and the ABBOs ceased to be a main threat. A big turn around occured in 2102 when it was discovered the Rectoids were wiping the ABBOs out by jamming their control systems. The Dinos helped the ABBOs counter the Rectoid jamming and the ABBOs then fought back against the Rectoids. They were an important part in the fight against the Rectoids though were nearly totally wiped out after the fall of the Rectoids.
Now it appears the ABBOs have regenerated and could be planning a new attack on the Dinos. A survey ship was attacked and destroyed near ABBO space last month and Dino intelligence indicates that the ABBOs are massing ships for an attack. The 5th and 7th Legions have been fully mobilised and forces on Xi (the nearest point in Dino space to the ABBOs) put on full alert. The Aritans (who are nearer to the ABBOs but have never been attacked by them) are also on alert.
