Meier rubbed his chin , thinking about the question and the scenario. An inhabited planet. Citizens are the number 1 thing. With out the Citizens the Revolution is nothing. He looked at the Commissar.
I would radio the Planet. The Citizens need to be protected and saved. That is one of our main goals, and if i were to Radio the Military Installation ,the Civilians would die. That would be unacceptable. The lives of Civilians go before the destruction of the Enemy Fleet.
He breathed a bit, looking at the Commissar. Collecting thoughts and speaking again.
As long as the Civilians are safe , i would feel myself victorious. We can always rebuild destroyed structures, we could not easily reproduce thousands of men , women and children. Even if i were to contact the Military Installation , they would never make it there in time. Thus,i would contact Planetside authorities.
