Over the last few months Tarbotian ships have been detected in the Rim Worlds no less than 9 times. There has also been found evidence of Tarbotian activity on several planetoids and asteroids. Three unmanned surveilance stations have been detected by the DDS (and "accidentally" destroyed).
Although a Tarbotian attack is considered unlikely at the moment (intelligence points to the Tarbotians currently concentrating on other enemies elsewhere along their borders in space unknown to the DDS) it could be early ground work is being laid for a greater future Tarbotian presence in this area. The DDS are to hold talks with the Aritans and Dinos soon about this and may increase their patrols in the area. The Clones have also been invited to these talks.
