Vajeyan Invasion

Vajeyan invasion notes by MJ12 Commando 06:53, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Current obstacles

High Priority

1. Lack of intelligence data-very little known, spies are currently in a "deep shit situation".
2. Military force-interm data shows Vajeya has ~10 BBs, ~12 cruisers, ~20-30 smaller craft, + fighter support.
3. It is currently unknown how hard the military will fight against a foreign invader. It is also unknown what the disposition, morale, and training of Vajeyan soldiers is like.

Medium Priority

4. Logistical distance-it will take several months for reinforcements to get to Vajeya proper in case of need.
5. Securing the planet and the area will take hundreds of thousands of infantry and many vessels.
6. Ground force assault-although it is almost certain that Adharan infantry (the brunt of the ground force) will be far superior to Vajeyan counterparts, Adhara is currently light on armored units. Marshall's potential contribution of 1 Landship is useful but cannot be in more than one place at one time.

Low Priority

6. Civilian resistance may be a factor.
7. Post-war occupation problems-Vajeya is a strong contributor to law and order, if toppled the coalition must step in to stabilize that area of the Rim.
8. PR backlash?

Current operation plan

Setting Up Logistics Depot

1. (tentatively starting 11/2195 or 12/2195) DFS-007 is tentatively designated "Firebase Rumsfeld" for this operation. All coalition participants are to transport portable (i.e. fabricator) industry to DFS-007 to shorten supply lines. We will set up a defended field base there to ensure that there will be easy access to war materiel. All powers will attempt to acquire additional fabricators for this purpose.
2. (tentative start: 03-04/2196?) Firebase Rumsfeld will be used to operate recon and sigint missions (stealthed recon units) into Vajeyan territory, as well as potentially infiltrating additional covert operations teams in to gather HUMINT if the situation is prime for this.

Preparing for Invasion

3. (tentative start: 03-04/2196?) All fabricators stationed at Firebase Rumsfeld will first be tasked with constructing local defenses (orbital defense systems, infantry drones, sensors systems) to ensure that our local outpost can be held. Failure to hold the outpost will mean failure of this entire operation. Meanwhile, convoys carrying helium-3 as well as reinforcements will be sent to DFS-007 for additional combat power during the assault.
4. (tentative start: 04-05/2196?) Firebase Rumsfeld's fabricator systems will switch to producing necessary supplies in preparation for the invasion proper.

Invasion (will be filled out more later)

5. (tentative start: 06-07/2196?) Combat assets will attack Vajeya in force. All transport assets will remain at Firebase Rumsfeld until the fleet can ensure that all orbital assets belonging to Vajeya are neutralized.
