MBH has hosted a summit of the leaders of the other Dino Trade Association members, the first such meeting since the end of the war against the Terrasaurs. MBH addressed concerns by the non-Saurian members of the DTA, especially the Voth and Aritans, who fear becoming second class citizens in the DTA if the Bolitic join and the DTA becomes the Saurian Alliance.
However, MBH said the Bolitic would not be joining the DTA. The Saurian Alliance and DTA would remain separate organisations, some DTA members would be in both (Sirikwan is very keen to join) but the DTA would not be sidelined or become second class. MBH said the DTA (which after all was his personal project) would fulfil a different role to the Saurian Alliance and would develop differently in future.
MBH also announced a 7 billion zark relief package for the Voth, who have suffered the most in the war. The money would be used for immediate relief especially on Apassara as well as rebuilding the depleted and outdated Voth Space Navy. It is expected the Voth will increase their order for Pentekonter Protectors (8 are on order), a small number of more powerful ships might also be ordered. The Dinos are looking at buying a small number of ex-Bolitic Helwins and upgrading and rebuilding them as NS did for the Alpha Centauri 93A training ships.
