Bolitic preparing to withdraw from Dino war?

There are signs the Bolitic may be preparing to end the Dino war. Ship deployments in Dino territory are being withdrawn and ships intended to resupply the Pulsin bridgehead are being prepared to return to Castarian. However the Bolitic are not thought to be intending to end hostilities but rather attack the Vosun Star Empire instead.

Despite huge cost the Bolitic are unlikely to get anything tangible out of the war and Emperor Borca is now searching for a honour saving victory (which will not save his life but at least might make his certain assassination less painful). The Vosun were Bolitic allies but left their alliance after their fleet was shattered in a war with the Raegris. Conquering the Vosun would be fairly straight forward for the Bolitic who could crush the remaining Vosun ships fairly quickly though getting enough troops landed might prove more tricky with much of the Bolitic merchant and amphibious fleets destroyed by the Dinos. It may be the Bolitic will destroy the Vosun fleet and then force the Vosun to surrender else suffer an orbital bombardment.

In the fast shifting geopolitical situation in that part of space the Vosun are desperatly trying to get some allies, obviously it is too soon for the DDS (who have other concerns right now) however one potential ally could be the Utrek whose relations with the Bolitic have now hit rock bottom. However it may be too late for the Vosun to get any real help even if the Utrek wanted to.
