Consul Jimmy has visited Sirikwan to meet the Sirikwanese President Del'Reka and the two Saurian states have agreed to form a military alliance. Del'Reka was at pains to point out that this did not mean Sirikwan was leaving the DDS but that an alliance with the Dinos would operate in parallel with the DDS. "The Dinos and the DDS are allies and it makes sense for us to be allies with both." he said.
What the alliance actually means is not known yet. Sirikwan is already the home of a Dino orbital refueling point and the Sirikwanese are already buyers of Dino weapons including 6 Dinomark XTs on order. Sirikwanese sources indicate that Sirikwan may re-organise it's army along Dino lines to form a fully interoperable legion that can fight alongside the Dinos. The Dinos may build a base on Sirikwan similar to their's on Loeuss.
As the Sirikwanese are Tier 2 allies of the DDS the DDS are wary of a closer alliance with the Dinos especially as Sirikwan recently took delivery of it's first Pentekonter-E equipped with TPM-1 missiles. The DDS will seek tighter control of the weapons to stop any details falling into Dino hands.
