Snoddasmannen looked out from the recon jet. He compared the scenery spreading out before him with the old intelligence photos he had used while planning the attack. He still could not believe it. The once sprawling city of Kahlua now lay in ruins beneath him. Once a proud prize in the tactical game he had been playing in his head for months, it had now been removed from the board.
He knew the mathematics of using military units to achieve military objectives, that was well known to Sparta. He also knew how enemy civilian casualties figured in to the equation. But this ... this ... was new to him. Never had he thought there could be a leader capable of such an act. This was beyond a tactical maneuvre, beyond a strategic decision, beyond the ravings of the most deranged psycopath locked up in the isolation unit at Fort Superiority.
Always, he had felt respect for his adversaries at war. They were warriors, they fought til the end and died with honor. So too had the Datatech troops who were defeated at Mart Pact, they were heroes. But for a faction who was capable of an act such as this, the genocide of almost half its population, he could no longer feel anything but resentment.
"Murderers", he muttered, and ordered the jet back to base.

I think your strategic planning department can explain you better all the benefits of this "infiltration"

What do you have in mind?

Ah, you mean that strategic planning is useful? I consider this obvious.
Re the infiltration, the gain of this single operation for Spartan Federation according to our analysis is very large. And the implications will haunt whole Chiron. Several Data Angel bases can hardly be compared to what will come in the future.

No no, I mean that people are useful. Instead of killing your citizens, you can make them do other stuff. Like ... work. Or give you influence in the planetary elections, or maybe sending them off to war. This is why Sparta prefers to keep our people alive.

They were not killed. Bases were dismantled, population ordered to leave them. I rather dislike this game mechanics here, or no option in game for exactly that - dismissing bases.
There was a reason to do so, but I understand that from your perspective it may be hard to see it at first.

That's a different way of putting it  I see how it happened now.
knock, knock
"How can I help you officer?"
"Sir, you are dismissed." ZAP
...
knock, knock
Similarly, it might seem as though our forces attacked yours in Mart Pact, but certainly not. The game mechanics are not at all representative here. What actually happened was that we dismantled their weapons and bought them all ice cream. Most of them now enjoy a part time internship on Pholus moon as hat makers.

Well, regardless of whether we can see a reason for your actions or not, it will be interesting to read the private forums after this game is over I mark these dates down for future reference.
