An "invasion" of California has begun, but rather than use space, the DSJ has used water warfare, one that the DSJ has been preparing for, even creating the PT-R1, amphibious landing craft big enough for A1-Mechs (as shown in the art), all to invade the Hand in an attempt to help the Dominion rebels in their rebellion against the Hand. The force though is a small force and is meant as a policing action against the Hand. Also, there are bigger forces with the same tech landing in Borneo and Indonesian islands as suggested by the Dominion rebels. The rebels said it would tie down forces there and prevent more Hand troops from getting to the mainland.
