Proposed strategy for planetary dominance:
1st priority: Prevent external interference.(As external forces possess options that are beyond our ability to combat.)
-Maintain entities of value to the controllers of the region.(To dissuade large-scale destruction and maintain options to manipulate the foreigner's intentions.)
-Suppress communication.(To prevent awareness of our presence.)
2nd priority: Prevent biped military operations.(As military action against us would impede all other activities.)
-Disable biped logistical apparatus.(To limit foreigner capacity to engage in military activity.)
-Present over-whelming superiority in all engagements.(To present military action as an ineffective recourse.)
3rd priority: Dominate environment.
-Suppress all entities hostile to our presence.
-Populate all available space.
Required entities:
Suppression forces:(To control entities of value to the bipeds.)
-Ability to operate freely amidst poorly equipped hostility.
--Heavy armour.
--Sensory equipment to detect hostile equipment and activities.
--Analytical equipment to record trends and report potentially threatening behaviour.
-Ability to control hostile activity without damaging value of controlled entity.
--Weaponry to disable hostile entities without inflicting permanent damage.
--Ability to influence behaviour of controlled entities.
:Heavy infantry with motion inhibitors, sensory over-loaders, biped physiology inhibitors, and chemical deterrents.
:Large quantities of fixed and linked sensory devices capable of monitoring biped movements and sensing high-energy chemical agents or devices.
:Defensible analytical hub with information processing equipment and intelligent drones.
Remote-Control Forces:(To Suppress communications from biped-controlled entities, locate biped logistical assets, assess biped military entities, and detect biped activity over large regions.)
-Ability to operate within foreigner-controlled environments.
--Remote relay devices.
--High mobility.
--Sensory inhibitors.
--Self-sufficiency.
--equipment to prevent salvaging.
-Ability to combat biped communications at range.
--<requires analysis of biped communication technology>
-Ability to operate in the midst of military activity.
--Counter-agents to effective long-range weaponry.
--Agents to dissuade pursuit.
:Intelligent drones.
:Small, high-speed vehicles with active defences, digging apparatus, and ability to store and deploy subvehicles.
:Subvehicles capable of combining into an underground manufacturing facility.
:Subvehicles capable of gathering raw materials from remote locations.
:Low-visibility subvehicles equipped to relay correspondence between elements of the force.
:Low-visibility subvehicles equipped with passive sensory apparatus.
:High-mobility subvehicles equipped with active sensory apparatus.
:High-mobility subvehicles equipped with counter-agents to biped communication and sensory technology.
:All elements of this force must be equipped to render themselves into a nonsalvageable state.
:Concentrated food storage.
Destruction forces:(To destroy biped logistical apparatus, or quickly engage and destroy weak foreign entities.)
-Ability to evade superior forces.
--High mobility.
--Counter-agents to effective long-range weaponry.
-Ability to over-whelm inferior forces.
--Sensory equipment to quickly locate defences.
--Versatile weaponry set to address a variety of opposition without additional support.
--Support entities to suppress opposing weaponry.
:High-speed transport vehicles with active defences, and extensive sensors.
:High-speed combat vehicles with active defences, extreme penetration weapons, and extreme area-suppression weapons.
:Heavy infantry with threat sensors, active defences, variable-spread pulsed-laser projectors, and projected shock-wave generators.
:Fast infantry with penetrating sensors, high-penetration kinetic weapons, and sonic weapons.
:Infantry-portable heavy shock-wave generators, heat emitters, and heavy material cutters.
Engagement forces:(To engage strong foreign entities.)
-Ability to control threats.
--All available counter-agents to biped weaponry.
--Effective long-range weaponry.
--Extensive sensory data of hostile activity.
--Heavy suppression weaponry.
-Ability to disable hostile forces.
--Effective armour penetration.
--Extensive sensory data of foreigner state.
--Weaponry to bypass or nullify extreme fortifications.
:Dedicated active-defence vehicles.
:Dedicated long-range weapon vehicles.
:Heavy vehicles with threat sensors and suppression munitions such as sensory-shock shells, shock-wave shells, incendiary shells, and delayed-shrapnel shells.
:Heavy vehicles with active defences, penetrating sensors, penetrating weaponry, and transport capacity.
:Fast infantry with active-defences, extensive sensors, sensory-shock weapons, variable-spread pulsed-laser projectors, and plasma grenades.
Propagation forces:(To populate the planet.)
Produce abundant flowers and queens and distribute them across the planet's surface, to then propagate additional queens to exponentially expand across the planet's total habitable space.
The above is somewhat lacking in effective antiair measures. the addition of autonomous anti-air air vehicles and fortification of active-defences to manually target air-borne threats would address much of this.
The plan of control would commence with the distribution of our forces relative to the strongest of the foreign entities. Encourage hostility between the biped communities. To assault the strongest of the biped communities by destroying peripheries without engaging in prolonged confrontations while isolating them by assaulting the links with their surviving peripheries before hopefully ending large-scale organised opposition by engaging in a rapid assault of the biped's central hive, preferably after they have dispersed forces to manually communicate with the biped peripheries and the engage the communication impeders.
