Dinos launch raid into Bolitic space

The Dinos have launched an attack on a Bolitic marshalling point near Castarian. The raid was led by a Dinomark RS and was commanded personally by Consul Cruggson. Around 50 Dinomarks in total were employed on the attack making it the largest Dino fleet action for some time.

Two docking facilities were destroyed in the attack along with 4 Helwins, 8 Meltinans, 1 Redhull and around 9 transports and utility vessels. The cousin of Emperor Borca was killed on one of the other ships, a Snarl, which was badly damaged and later abandoned and destroyed.

The Dinos lost 5 Dinomark PTs and 9 Dinomark XTs in the attack. It is thought troopships planned for Pulsin were destroyed in the attack which now makes the likelihood of the Bolitic being able to reinforce their bridgehead even more unlikely. The Dinos have formally asked the Bolitic to surrender. In a message by Cruggson transmitted on Bolitic frequencies he said that the Bolitic could not win the war and should cease hostilities now. The Bolitic reply contained a lot of naughty words.
