The Repicans, a merchantist faction of Saurians, have been Bolitic allies for some time and also joined in during the ABBO-Bolitic War (though they did not do that well). The Repicans however have now signed a defence treaty with the Bolitic that will allow the Repicans access to Bolitic ports (and vice versa) as well as shared intelligence.
Coming hot on the heels of the Vosun-Voth integration Dino observers are warning of a change in Bolitic strategic direction. Emperor Melson has managed to put down the rivalry of Erinthorn and his fellow imperial houses that lie away from Castarian. Erinthorn has pledged his loyalty to Melson and the Bolitic armed forces are restoring their abilities after their disastrous losses in the ABBO-Bolitic War.
Melson is thought to want to create a Bolitic led rival to the Dino Trade Association, some wags in the Dino media said it probably wouldn't be called the BTA though!
