Zhane stood up and addressed the committee members
"It is true what Admiral Ravenor is saying, ever since we landed on Canaria with the intent of building facilities to hold our people, but also to construct a planetary shield system. Three generators, one on each pole of the planet and one close to our Temple. The Orbital defense platforms will be in operation within the month, as the Admiral stated. But we are low on resources, so if the other alliance members could begin shipping wares to Canaria the construction will proceed at a much faster rate."
Then he pushed a button on his wrist computer, showing a huge holographic display of a shield generator. And of a Orbital Defense platform
"The shield generations will have a secondary shielding above them and their facility, in order to make sure that if, fighters of atmospheric bombers get trough the shielding they are protected from attacks. And if the Gallic Royal fleet lands ground based units they'l have a regiment of 10 thousand of our mechanical brothers to deal with prior on gaining access to one of these generators.
The Orbital Defense platforms, as shown here, has three torpedo tube launchers and several smaller weapon slots as well, they are designed to destroy ships attempting to land on Canaria and to fend of bigger threats as well. We estimate that with resources we can manufacture 200 of these within a month, enough to make a solid defense network around the Planet.. "
Then he removes the holographic displays and looks at Victor
"I believe that you speak the truth Mr Cross, indeed a war with the Gallic Royal crown would mean.. Not necessarily a loss, but loss of people and equipment. But I still believe that we should prepare for war never the less, since in fact many Zoner installations are in the area where a war would be waged, we will have losses, perhaps not from only the Gallic Royal crown, but from others. Think of the wars that will start, the Kusari, Bretonia, they will be the first to go if the Gallic goes to war. Many would see the Freeports as refugee centers and when those are full they will act, not in hatred, but in anger and fear, they want to remain safe, and they will think that the Zoner installations can give that safety To them.. , it's only a matter of time that we are dragged into a war, most probably the Gallic.. Therefor, we should prepare as if we where going to war."
Zhane looked over each and everyone before taking a seat again.
