Dinos build base on Sirikwan

The Dinos have begun construction of a base on Sirikwan which will be home to ground forces and Dinomarks. The base will be similar in scale to the Dino base on Loeuss and will typically have a few centuries of Dino Army troops and 4-5 Dinomarks. It will also be a stopping point for any passing Dinomarks on missions.

In a joint presentation with the Sirikwanese Defence Minister the head of the Dino Army Senator Zanus said the base was part of the new Dino foreign policy and military strategy and would look after Dino interests in the Sirikwan and Voth region of space. The base would also co-ordinate co-operation between the Dinos and Sirikwanese.

Sirikwan is being paid for the lease on the land with ex-Dino Army hardware. 25 more K-16M attack aircraft, 1000 more SM-26L rifles and other equipment have just been handed over to the Sirikwanese (which interestingly was delivered there by a Provider-EDA, the first mission of the new type in Dino service). A third Dinomark XT has also arrived on loan to help training before the Sirikwanese start to receive their new XTs next year.
