The first meeting of the Dino Senate was cut short after Emperor Ronald sensationally suspended the Dino ruling body accusing one of the Senators of treason. He said that only a Senator would have known the destination of a recent 6th Legion mission where Ronald was kidnapped by forces unknown. Ronald was later rescued.
Ronald said that the security of the Empire was at stake and that all Senators would be restricted to their homes (house arrest basically) while an investigation takes place by the SS.
