[X] Plan Operation Solar Storm (rapid strike variant)
-[X] Insist that Dynasts task their intelligence with confirming whether Heimdall survivors are alive and their location. Begin construction of 4 500 tonnes point-defense escorts in the S'taxu, based on the earlier MVP proposal, that drops the jump-drive to include more point defense meant to supplement our Interstellar Cruisers in combat.
-[X] Demand that Home gets shares in S'taxu yards after the war. Insist on tonnage limitations for their future fleet and secure basing and transit rights. In addition, secure lucrative contracts for our business partners, making it easier for them to achieve an economic foothold in S'taxu. Exact numbers are negotiable, we can afford to show flexibility so that the deal might be considered more reasonable.
-[X] Check if there are S'taxu pilots in Dynast employ that could be tempted to permanently transfer to our Navy.
-[X] Confirm whether it's feasible to use particle beams to strike at surface targets, if so employ all six Interstellar Cruisers to destroy Xyphon Federation's orbital denial weapons. Surprise strike, jump in to the system with remaining cruisers, proceed to S'taxu 4 orbit, take out silo-based lasers first. If possible outdistance the nuclear retaliation and arrange for Dynasts orbital weapons to perform point-defense tasks. Afterwards, if it doesn't seem like the Junta is going to make an immediate dash to contest S'taxu 4, retain 3 Interstellar Cruisers in S'taxu on rotation. Their job is to intercept rapid insertion drones that supply the Xyphon Fedation.
-[X] From there, we're content to take it slow. We don't to want to venture far from the relative safety of S'taxu 4 orbit until point-defense escorts are built. We might occasionally harass Junta ships and keep an eye on their construction efforts.

[X] OPLAN Somewhere in the Heavens
-[X] Write-In: SPAFTA. 50/50 Mineral and Resource profit split between Dynasts and Home's private companies on all sites not currently under Chambrestrong control, with exclusive export rights to Xyri. We provide the jobs, they provide the rights, new S'taxi trade unions provide workers, everyone's happy.
-[X] Write-in: Recommendations on the Xyphon Federation are to prepare an orbital feint to prevent Junta space-to-space retaliation, then use Dynast surface forces deployed in the oceans in "Wild Weasel" strikes to eliminate orbital denial weapons. Our Fleet's role in this orbital feint will be to cause trouble, break things, and rescue our hostages from the Heimdall. However, this plan rests on the idea that the information provided by the Chambrestrong forces is correct. If they are lying to us to eliminate their rivals, an alliance with the Federation should be considered in its stead.
