Galactic Traders

Fleet Headquarters - Pythica City
The Admirals of Galactic Traders fleet were assembled in the war room of fleet headquarters to discuss the information being sent back from probes around Bio Ceti 4 (Fourth planet in line of the Bio Ceti system). Hopes had been high that the probes would tell them what they had thought was on Bio Ceti 4, but they were wrong. The probes were sending back information that confirmed their worst fears, they would be facing an advanced, civilized people. Probes had sent back pictures of formitable looking tanks, small arms, artillery, helicopters but strangely no fixed wing air craft. (work with me on this one) These people had advanced very far in a very short time but some things were missing. The planet was not yet unified, it appeared that five factions were fighting for control of the planet, one faction however appeared to have a definite advantage over the others in terms of geographic size, number of people, and size of military. While not strong enough to defeat the other four on their own they could prove to be a useful tool. Infastructure was basic, few highways connected areas controlled by different factions, trains did not run within 50 miles of the borders. Airports were relatively small, not needing expansive runways like fixed wing aircraft. Many homes seemed to have landing pads, suggesting that many people owned helicopters of some sort rather than cars. Land armies would be formitable, Galactic Traders did not have a large tank force, fighter craft would have to be used to take out as many of the tanks as possible. Estimated population of the entire planet was only 40 million so that was one minor relief for the Admirals who planned the attack.
This is a work in progress, I am posting this so people can tag it if they like. And perhaps someone will take notice of my exceptional RP skills and give me a cookie/ ;)
