I don't have any orbital offense platforms. I have point defense for missiles and ballistic weapons, and then railguns and missiles to shoot at incoming fighters, bombers, etc. Nothing that can get through the atmosphere.By the way, I'm tempted to have the Ceres Independence launch air strikes against the Empire of America. They do have the capability, and energy screens would keep them from getting shot down, countermeasures to help keep most missiles off its tail. And the loss of the central hub for the area's command and control would allow the riots and rebels to gain the upper hand.

To be honest, this strategy totally makes sense. Lasers, however, would definitely do some damage.

Honestly? I think the entire world would know about a war fleet landing in America. The Empire of America likely has noticed. I don't recall if they have satellites, but this is the late 21st century... You know, where you cant sneak war fleets around the coast line of a foreign country, especially one which is likely watching for invasion anyway... Any country which isn't now would be insane The ships entering their water would be enough to make the Commonwealths demands relevant anywayOf course, I am assuming you launched from ships, if not you skipped over half his empire. He would have detected your planes coming in, and if they flew from Antarctic they likely passed near my lands and just beyond that is the EoA so its not had to call it an invasion because you flew military planes into his air space. To conclude: Thanks to your planes, it would take a miracle for the imperials NOT to have found that base now, and another miracle for the Empires neighbours not to have noticed you flew planes into his country. And that's nit even considering satellites, which make both of those even more likely.

It was a few aircraft flying over an area confirmed to be rebel territory, the Commonwealth had no idea about the aircraft and the EoA obviously doesn't know because if they did, then the town would have been conquered long ago.
