It seems plausible that we could solve this problem altogether by connecting it to an EPB power source. How much time and money would such a project cost?

1 Week, 500,000 RP

Officially, General Lagantis has delegated running the campaign on Planet-117 to you, as he trusts your judgement. He outranks you, yes, but he will not interfere unless he feels it’s absolutely necessary. He’ll still give suggestions and recommendations during your campaign. He’s taking on the brunt of the work of managing the defense of the colonies. Focus on Planet-117.

HOLD THE LINE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

All infantry units carry portable cover, freezer grenades and flamethrowers for combat against enemy monster-hordes.

Each Regular Army battalion will be given a Digger Drone, able to dig a trench faster than any soldier, meant to impede the advance of enemy creatures.

Combat Effectiveness and Survivability of our soldiers against mass hordes has dramatically increased!

Ghulls: Vora, the Swiftback and the Disaster Mechs are here!

The Swiftback codenamed ‘Carpenter’ has arrived near your ship, and has de-cloaked. His transport is relatively tiny, and doesn’t give off any kind of thermal radiation. A stealth ship, fitting for a shapeshifting assassin. Its designation is ’Nobody Here’.

It is very oddly-shaped, but it must be for a good reason since it works very well as a stealth ship.

You see his face clearly on the screen.

Carpenter: Carpenter AN92-Q. You can call me Carpen for short.

You: Welcome to the fight, Swiftback. If what I’ve read is true, you can fool even the most advanced biometrics.

Carpenter: Correct. Automated security systems are no problem for me.

Just as he finishes speaking, another transport ship arrives. It’s carrying the two Disaster Mechs.

Carpenter: As you requested, Commander. Two Disaster Mechs, ready for havoc.

You can see an image of a Disaster Mech.

A note pops up:

[[Please note: Disaster Mechs make extremely loud sounds and can cause permanent deafness within 100 metres. Do not use in civilian-populated areas. Rocket pods are in the rear of the Mech, so protect its backside as ammo explosion can occur.]]

Then, you see another face appear on screen. A saramis?

You: Who’s this?

Carpenter: Commander, this is Zasha. Another Swiftback, but they are here as a liaison for the Human Federation.

Zasha: Pleasure to speak with you, Commander. Let’s get right down to business: The Human Federation’s Security Council has become interested in Planet-117’s moon. Our scientists believe we can get it operational again as a starship. We have found similar, planetoid vessels all across our colonies and they share the same kind of technology.

You: I’d be happy to cooperate. What do you need?

Zasha: We need access to the portal you found, the one at Fortress Cyrano. The Federation will set up a laboratory manned by remote-piloted drones with the aim of re-purposing the Author Starship into a weapons platform for our shared cause.

You: Can you promise me that after all this is over, the Federation won’t turn the moon against us?

Zasha: The Human Federation does not harm other civilizations without reason. If the Saramis Alliance does not antagonize us, we will not attack you. As a sign of trust, we will allow your scientists to take part in this project as well.

You: Very well. You have permission to set up a lab in the moon.

Zasha: Thank you, Commander. We will update you as we make further discoveries.

You: Wait, before you go: You’re a Swiftback too, right?

Zasha: Correct.

You: Why would they send a Swiftback as a liaison? Aren’t you supposed to be assassins and saboteurs?

Zasha: We are shapeshifters, ma’am. That’s also useful for diplomats, as we can assume forms our partners are comfortable with.

You: Is that why you look like a saramis?

Zasha: Yes. If you are uncomfortable, I can easily change to another face…

You: That won’t be necessary. Just don’t change your form during your stay, or else people might get confused.

Zasha: Of course, Commander.

Zasha, the Human Federation Liaison, wastes no time in taking their place at Fortress Cyrano. Their colleagues get to work alongside your own researchers.

It is now time to go on the offensive. Intel from Seekers show that Region 2 is preparing their own assault force to invade Alliance-held territory. Region 5 still has Braintrees and some monsters roaming the landscape, but there is no organized enemy force there. Securing it might seem unnecessary, but the as the planet’s dumping trash site, there may be useful technology or materials to be recovered underneath all the garbage and toxic waste, not to mention the potential uses of the Walking Factory’s remains.

Region 1 is quiet, but no doubt the enemy’s central command is plotting another attack.

You may also divide your forces to run simultaneous campaigns. For example, you could just send a small contingent to secure Region 5 while your primary focus is elsewhere. Thanks to Portal technology and the establishment of local City Guard militia, keeping your forces in your own territories has become less of a concern; you could easily send troops to protect settlements if the enemy somehow sends another invasion force.

- Attack Region 1
- Attack Region 2
- Secure Region 5
- Attack more than one region at once
