Legate Dralson, ex-Dino Army and Security CouncilI've noticed the DDS have begun preparations for war against the Tarbotians one day (hopefully that day is a long way off) but no one seems to be talking about how the Dinos and DTA can address the looming Tarbotian threat.
Until now, earlier this week the Dino Army and representatives from all the other DTA member state militaries met on Yeng and discussed the "Tarbotian Problem". Not a great deal was addressed in the meeting (i was present as an observer). Mostly the DDS' responses to date were discussed, such as static defence points and listening stations.
It was felt that the DDS' approach is a sound one and should be the starting point for the DTA's own response. The Dino Army is going to look into how the DTA's borders can be strengthened.
One thing that was discussed was deterrence and here the future Dino interstellar missile is key although if we are to be honest even missiles (with a likely range of 20-50 light years) placed at the extreme borders of DTA space will struggle to reach important Tarbotian strategic points. I understand the Dinos are going to look into a mobile version of the missile that can be sited on asteroids and other bodies closer to Tarbot space at short notice.
The consensus was that a Tarbotian attack is unlikely within the next 10 years, and maybe 20 years is also pushing it. Lets just hope thats the case because we (and the DDS for that matter) are not ready.
