Projected outcome of Operation Revival
SaKhan Theresa DelVillar, this memo is being brought to your attention, based on information found in the Dragoon reports on the military readiness of the Inner Sphere. Based on information that is readily available it is the educated opinion of this warrior of Clan Ghost Bear, that we are not in a position to launch a full scale invasion of the Inner Sphere, it is also the opinion of this warrior that the IlKhan was being less than truthful about the state of readiness in the Inner Sphere, as well as the troop strength of the forces found there.
Please see attached appendices A, B and C, as they contain detailed reports on the last known positions, troop numbers as well as troop and equipment qualities at the time of the last Dragoon report.
Looking at the attached information, it is clear that the front line forces for the Draconis Combine and Federated Commonwealth will not be in a position to combat our forces for several months, if not years based on current jump ship technology, as well as jump ship numbers found in the Inner Sphere. Based on our projected troop and combat movement speeds, the Free Rasalhague Republic will fall inside of two years, as we are likely to encounter stiffer resistance the closer we come to Rasalhague. During this time, there is an extremely strong possibility that the Federated Commonwealth will have had the time to move the best units they possess into direct line with our forces, forcing Clan Ghost Bear to commit stronger forces to combat these units, or commit more troops and equipment against these units, forcing us to noticeably narrow our engagement zone.
Please see attached appendices E and F, as they contained reports based on projected out comes of our practice of Zellbringen against the total warfare that is practiced in the Inner Sphere, as well as projected out comes after conquering a world of the Inner Sphere through Zellbringen.
As our forces have for a few hundred years now practiced a ritualized version of warfare where we try to do battle through the smallest force possible, and the result is we either win or lose the object in question through the result of combat, our forces will be under prepared for combat with Inner Sphere forces, that have during this time, kept in practice with total warfare as practiced by our ancestors of the Star League Defence Force (SLDF). Though our equipment is vastly superior, we do not practice a combined arms approach to warfare, nor do we practice focusing our fire on a target. These are things that are practiced, regularly in the Inner Sphere, and will likely lead to less than desirable outcomes for our forces, once they learn of how to exploit our practice of Zellbrinen.
Based on all information available, we will likely reach Terra, yet once we do, it is very unlikely that the Houses of the Inner Sphere will readily accept the rule of the IlClan, and will likely continue to resist our forces, until we reach a point where our forces are simply too small to maintain control over the Inner Sphere. It should also be noted, that there is a very strong possibility that the Houses of the Inner Sphere, once Rasalhague falls could band together to create a new Star League, leaving us in an interesting position, to be fighting against the very thing we are coming to create. Should that happen, it is very likely within 10 years we would see at least one Clan destroyed, as it is only a matter of time before the Inner Sphere locates the home worlds, once that happens, we will not be able to stop them, should the commit a strong enough force to taking them. Thus it is the recommendation of this Star Captain that we should look at the possibility of integration with one or more Houses of the Inner Sphere, for our survival and future, based on all information I would recommend Rasalhague or the Federated Commonwealth, due to similar cultural ties.
