The JIIC officer saw the reaction of the Terran diplomat as he mentioned their defeat at 11-A. Raising an eyebrow, he decided to tackle that problem at a different time and focus on the task at hand. 

"So you are already fairly well aquatinted with the Eternal Union, I fear we all well behind the curve then". The intelligence officer manipulated the star chart so that he could view a system 50 light years from Jaques rest. Our most forward scout teams are setting up listening posts here" he said while drawing circles parallel to where the scout ship was. " this is our most current sensor net, which has been quiet since it was established. This used to be a source of worry for us but now that you have informed us of this battle It makes sense". The officer sighed, feeling like he was now ready to tackle the problems of their own defeats. 

" both defeats were due to naval supremacy by the Eternal Union. Our starships were designed with infantry and ground support in mind. Therefore we lack the anti-ship weapons so prevalent within this galaxy. On the ground, both on Jaques rest and 11-A our ground forces have the ability to win. Eternal Union soldiers seem to be undiciplined and inaccurate with their weapons, they also rely to much on stationary defence tatics which is easily countered by our mobile force. The only problem is getting there. We deployed 50 ships to Jaques rest to their 101 while deploying a special operations team to an asteroid outpost of theirs. They were compromised and escaped but the element of surprise was lost and their fleet moved into position." One of the admirals stood up and manipulated the star map, studying the systems that the Terran diplomat spoke of. 

" we would like to join your campaign, if their attention is focused towards your forces then it would seem that the weakest front would be to their rear." He zoomed in on a small system just outside of Sol, about 10 light years from Jaques rest. " we can set up a staging area here, on one of those planets and attack their flank from the rear. It would be an all in move for us, all 100 vessels would have to be employed." The other Admirals in the room nodded in agreement as they looked to the Terrans for a response
