Absolution 

Strategy: Hmm, this is a question that takes time I don't have in order to answer. My quickest answer that doesn't suck would be to avoid fighting entirely. Find ways to cripple the other nations economy, political might, etc. Make it to where they can't fight, before you even have to. 

Planet Names: 

Toughie, not sure. Might edit later.
