Dinos begin drawdown of forces from Xi

Two legions and some 47 Dinomarks have been recalled from Xi and will return to Dino-Land. The ABBOs have returned to their territory and previous experience indicates they will not return for some time. The Dinos are maintaining strong forces on Xi though, 3 legions instead of the usual 1 will remain on the planet for the rest of the year at least.

Cruggson has ordered a full inquiry into the Dinos' performance in the short war, this is usual Dino practice after any conflict and is expected to assess the performance of all aspects of the Dino armed forces from major weapons, tactics even down to the mundane like catering facilities. Already some modifications are being made to all Dinomarks in the fleet to better optimise their shields against ABBO weapons.
