O.N.I. S.W.O.T. Analysis of Vespucci Intelligence Data
12. 6. 829 A.S.
Strenghts
- With the arrival of the Ohio Battlegroup we assess that the numerical advantage is strongly on the side of Liberty's forces.
- Kansas has been completely pacified, Fort Riley abandoned and Ohio Battlegroup supply lines run interrupted only by the odd low level criminal raid.
- All Insurgency assets are in the open, with Marshall Reconstruction site damaged we do not expect any repair or production facility to exist for the hostiles.
- The last known Arbiter Battleship, Vanquisher, has been vanquished, there are no heavy assets remaining that we know of.
Weaknesses
- The unexpected loss of Battlegroup Delaware was a blow to morale and urgency of assault vectors. Commanders are approaching more cautiously, which might give the Insurgency time to regroup or abandon the system.
- The presence of heavy asteroid fields and piling on wreckage make navigating through the system difficult.
- Data on location of Insurgent small scale assets is not complete - Insurgent reinforcements keep pouring in.
Opportunities
- The known assets of the Insurgency are all well documented and in the open - with swift enough approach they may be made completely inoperational, with escape routes for the Insurgents cut off.
-The morale of the defenders is at a breaking point, reservists that do not command basic military language seem to be commanding warships - sustained pressure might lead to a complete breakdown of the defenders' morale.
Threats
- It is still unknown where the Vanquisher appeared from. There is a certain probability of either an as of yet undiscovered Insurgent base of operations, or presence of collaborators.
- Although the dry docks have been all but destroyed, Marshall Construction site still has fully operational defence systems.
- An installation, also heavily armed, the "Veracruz Munitions" is present in orbit. It's deconstruction might be advisable before a full-scale planetwide land assault.
- The heavily damaged Battlecruiser Triton is still operational.
