The FIW has begun the No Step Back Initiative, in which is to never let the enemy inch towards the core of the CBMV Region. The FIW has begun to deploy Construction Bots to swiftly try and repair the damage GASI has caused while also focusing on using LIDAR to try and detect Cloaked Ships via distortion in lidar readings that is then fed to the sensors to detect said distortion due to cloaking devices needing to bend light in order to have said ships be invisible to then use the ships that use lidar to detect them to fire the Positron Shock Cannons at their cloaked ships as well as focusing on their capital ships. furthermore, FIW has begun to implement electronic countermeasures to interfere with GASI's cloaking devices, which shall force their ships to emit clearly detectable subspace and electromagnetic signals which will make these ships vulnerable to sensors and ship targeting. Next is to deploy holographic decoys and false sensor signals to lure their ships, into pre-prepared traps, in which will buy time for interception forces. next is to use cloaked ships to ambush their invasion forces in a tactic named the birds of prey, in which is a ambush that also uses the element of surprise, fortunately the FIW has been developing subspace cloaking, in which will help us with this initiative. once the cloaked fleets are detected, we shall mobilize quick-responsive interceptor fleets equipped with the best targeting systems to then prioritize taking them out before the ships retreat. we will also use specialized infiltration units to try and sabotage GASI's Stealth Fleets and their command nodes, we shall then target their own supply lines with autonomous drones to target exploitable weak points in their supply lines. next is to leverage Espionage and otherwise useful cyberwarfare to try and take out their ships while also imposing a reverse blockade to try and take out their ships via the use of broadside bombardments while letting allies in. furthermore, the FIW shall use orbital cannons (the fec does have them, as well as everyone else, your not alone in the orbital cannon biz) to strike GASI ships from the ground. now with their invasion forces possibly crippled, the FIW has begun operations to restore its capability to defend itself from outside threats such as: Deploying Repair Vehicles to swiftly repair damaged starbases, orbital factories, foundries as well as logistics hubs and key defenses, using convoy escorts and interdiction patrols to re-establish secure supply routes. mobilize reserve fleets and deploy reinforcements from less-effected regions of our CBMV Regions, retrofit and update our ships with enhanced sensors and stealth-detection systems (SDS) to try and prevent future infiltration. The FIW also began to deploy automated quantum-positron shock turrets, Shielding and minefields around vital assets. The FIW also had begun to upgrade the cyberdefenses of the nation to hinder GASI's Infiltration and sabotage efforts that use cyberweapons as well as deploying several counter-hacking protocols and the creation of several AI-Driven Intrusion Systems to moniter the intergalatic web and to terminate any and all threats to the FIW's Cyberspace. Next is to install adaptive shielding generators that shall be capable of countering space torpedos, missiles and artillery barrages while also introducing conscription to gain more troops, the FIW also has pulled its corporations from GASI to hinder their economy as well as asking nations that are allies of FIW to impose a blockade and sanctions on GASI in order to cripple their economy. Next is to spread disinformation that regards supply shortages, Internal stability and Resource depletion in GASI to reduce their confidence in their economy's stability, the FIW has also begun to use covert channels to amplify fear and dissent in GASI while also spreading propaganda that GASI will infact remove the individuality of the FIW's and the frontier's people to form anti-GASI sentiment in the nations across the frontier. the FIW also has begun to use wave motion guns to destroy their fleets as well, they haven't seen a wave-motion gun before, meaning they have little to no knowledge of this. (also wave-motion guns are theoretically possible, meaning that just like warp drive, it is possible in sci fi)
