-New Coronet, Telos-

A form of controlled chaos reigned at the Colonial Governor Complex in New Coronet. Civilian officials hurried about, making preparations to both accommodate refugees from Earth, and instruct the civilians on how to evacuate in an orderly manner to the civil defense bunkers. In the Colonial Fleet Headquarters, Admiral Arents grimly listened to reports from Earth, and Tenelapis.

Arents: "Courtney, analysis."

Courtney: "The Sith, Prometheus, and possibly DPL and the Soviets have apparently joined forces. They have moved quickly, and have taken out the Fissure formation on Tenelapis. So far, no AIF holdings have been attacked, but it is highly improbable that that will last."

Arents: "How much risk is there to Telos?"

Courtney: "Telos was originally a Sith world. They gave it to ISR, and we took it from them. I project a minimum 70% chance that they will attempt to take it back. I cannot provide an accurate estimate as to if it is before, or after, an assault on Earth. If after, you will have only limited reinforcement Admiral. Two or three extra Battle Clusters is all I'd expect."

Arents: "Then we should plan our defense with only minimal reinforcements. Three Clusters total, any extra is a bonus."

Courtney: "Sir, I'm not sure how we can hold an entire planet against an armada with that few ships."

Arents: "Tenacity, and the knowledge that our species might depend on victory. Increase production of ODPs, they can help make up for our lack of ships. Courtney, keep the stations shuffling every few days"

Officer: "Yes Admiral."

Courtney's hologram disappears, and Arents walks to a window. He gazes out at the sprawling city of New Coronet, contemplating the future. He looks at some of the domes, modeled after the architecture of Coronet on Earth, but concealing heavy ion cannons. The Colonies were well protected, but would it prove enough? The IMG general stationed on Telos had ordered more ground based weaponry, and he himself had ordered ground based surface-to-orbit MAC batteries constructed in the New Pomorado Mountains....

OOC: some character development, along with more defenses being constructed! And a description of some defenses already in place....
