He plans to scare off the enemy by throwing enough long ranged firepower, causing enough damage to make the enemy disengage and rethink their attempt at the engagement, hopefully buying more time to prepare the human aspect of the forces.
Naturally, your intervention could shift the current plan. The destruction of the Lunar-class cruiser by the small alien force had hurt the Fabricator-General’s political standing. While his position is still stable, it is no longer unshakable, and there is a war meeting planned soon.
>The plan seems sensible enough. Engage at long range, maximizing the advantage of the defending forces and forcing the enemy to retreat.>When it comes down to it, the defenders have more heavy weight ships, all that is needed is to catch the enemy ships in crossfire and destroy them. Close range knife duel it is.>These imperial warlords are undoubtedly associated with the unknown enemy; any sort of direct engagement or cyber attacks would be unwise. While it would be cutting it close, the danger the unknown enemy possess allows for WMDs. As the ancient saying goes – nuke the bastards.>(Write in)
