The Starbotian Army has been knocked out as an operational force after 6 divisions were wiped out as they pushed into rebel VC territory. The destruction was caused by the (now confirmed by the DDS) Argon weapon which beams IEDs into place. Total Starbotian losses are estimated at over 100,000 troops and a large proportion of their armoured vehicles.
With the earlier losses too the Starbotian Army has lost nearly all of its front line units and has only reserve and territorial units left. The Starbotians were warned not to push into VC territory by the DDS but chose to ignore the advice. Riots against S101's regime have raged since news of the massacre.
