Consul Cruggson has arrived on the border planet of Xi, which is the closest to ABBO space in the Dino Republic, to set up a temporary HQ to direct observation and maybe combat operations against the resurgent ABBOs. The forces on the planet, which usually only has 1 legion and limited numbers of Dinomarks, have also been re-inforced with the 10th legion plus part of the specialist 6th legion being deployed along with the 2nd Space Squadron including one of the Dinomark RS.
A number of patrols have been sent to observe ABBO activity which is continuing in the region. An Aritan freighter was shadowed by an ABBO ship a few days ago for several hours though was not contacted or attacked.
