Leto listened to the plans and he waited till everyone was quiet.

"Sirs, I may add something? We have part of our line of ships designed for Tau 23. I suggest another approach for Tau 23. Reinforce our Fleet in Tau 44 with more Hydra, Nyx and Pytho. We have three points of interest in the system. The former BMM station now called Indochine, the Languedoc jump gate and the Battleship near Java." he stopped and put the design of the ships in question on the projector "I propose something cunning. In the Tau wars we used what we called Nyx-Pytho Swarm against Outcasts and their allies. My proposal is this" he selected the three points of interest "We form 6 teams,mixed Hydra and fighter class. First team is going to launch an attack on Indochina, which will cause the Gauls to send units to protect, which means their patrols are thinner. Group 2 will stay hidden right next to the Gate, engines cut just on thursters. While they rush to protect the installation, they engage the rest of the defenders at the Gate." he stopped and now the Battleship Guillestre was highlighted "At this attack, the Navy will dispatch troops from the Guillestre. Group 2 will do a strategic retreat further from the Gate and towards the station" now the flight plan is highlighted by green arrow and another red circle another group "Group 3, placed at 7 clicks, with engines cut, will then move to attack the Jump Gate when group 2 is at 15 clicks away from the Gate. This third attack will provoke the Gauls to either send reinforcements or to send Guillestre out for a fight. Our Eros ships, towed to asteroids will keep an eye on them and depending on what they do we react accordingly with Group 4. With the Battleship moving towards the Gate, the Group armed with nukes will cut them and using the asteroid cover, will try to disable the ship." he stopped,having a grim smile "No, I am wrong, they will disable the ship by any means necessary, even using Kamikaze techniques. If the ship is not leaving Java, we attack them there. " he stopped and the plan was shown again on the map "Now groups 1 and 2 will join and make a retreat towards Tau 29 jump hole, where group 5 will wait them. Being reinforced, they will turn back and fight the Gallic ships." two more circles appear near the sun belt "Group 6 will be placed here, at the edge of the radiation belt which will be used as cover. At best will appear as a glitch on the radar"

Stopped for a few and explained the second circle "Also, 2 Thanatos class ships and their Hydra escort will jump at this position. The Hydras will be dispatched to assist the Groups and the Thanatos mission will be to hunt for Guillestre also. What you think, Sirs?"
