Glad to see new video from AA and ErushaVA

You know what’s funny. All of these options are used by different factions in my LOGH Fanfiction story where the Galactic Empire, FPA weren’t the only main factions, but a Non Cult Constitutional Monarchy of Earth and an AI Empire were factions as well. The AI Faction with Phezzan uses Option 3 on all the other factions before going to option 4. The Earth Kingdom used a heavily modified version of Option 2 on the Empire 20 years before the current time by used of a newly developed version of FTL technology. Option One was used by the Earth and the Empire against each other until a major escalation about 25 years before Astarte.

Guess Good Minds think alike. Great video by the way and can’t wait for the next one. ⭐️

Just found your channel!
Can’t wait to see more videos!

combining option 1 & 3 is probably the best plan for FPA victory, as you not only deal a heavy blow to the empire but also the fact the FPA doesn't need to mobilise a huge force

[sunshinelindsey]

I understand the details and war strategies in FPA
Thank you for this video!!

[nosorab]

I always figured that the population numbers were missing a 0 on the end, since the losses both sides take would be apocalyptic for populations of 'just' 25 and 13 billion respectively.

Still, awesome video Ares, very thorough and well thought out. Keep 'em coming, there needs to be more LOGH content in the world.

Most of the Galactic Empire lives in a pre industrial society with Farm worlds being tended to with Rudimentary Handheld Tools and Farm Animals that said Option 1 and 3 seem the best it's low risk high reward, Raids on the limited Industry of the Empire would cripple it and Raids could contribute to Option 3 and Imperial Losses due to Option 1 could also contribute to Option 3. With Empire sustaining high losses, suffering crippling raids and having Pro Democratic Discontent the Empire could be unable to dedicate resources to deal with the FPA with them being tied up with revolts, the FPA could overrun the Empire spreading its Government across the Galaxy.

Option 3 to lay the ground work for option 2. Since the empire is highly centralized even if Odin is burnt to and not held that would be a huge blow to the empire.

[magellali]

A combination of option 1 and 3 seems to be the best way to victory. Option 3 being the first stage of the operation, sowing chaos and disorder within the empire through covert means. The FSA will maintain a defensive posture and try not to get involved with the brewing civil war which should be plenty of time to allow for limited demobilization of the military while retaining a professional core of the military. The FSA should send in a covert expeditionary force to disrupt the winning side of the war to ensure a drag out stalemate for as long as possible and the FSA should only move to the next stage if either the one side will surely win or the FSA economy and morale has sufficiently recovered that FSA will have a clear winning chance.

The FSA forces would be well supplied and outnumbered the empire exhausted military who has been in a state of constant war for years and its industrial capabilities degraded through sabotage.

You had both the Empire and Fezzan as 1st in economic power also I don't buy the empire only having 190, 000 ships, just 2-3 years later in the series Lohengramm launched Operation Ragnarok with over 1 million ships and 100 million troops.
The tragedy of the FPA invasion is that if they just waited a few months the Kaiser would have been dead and nobles at each others throats over succession.

[blackhornetextingstoryindu]

majority of the empire live in an pre industrial era society so option 1 would work but like you said its about the occupation force would have problems in the long run so a hybrid of option 1 and 2 could work the capture of the emperor will work without any large military a small fleet would infiltrate odin, use special force to enter the imperial palace without anyone knowing and leave when the emperor is capture the success of said mission is quite low but its better then using a full fleet to attack odin and hope that they capture the emperor in time

[Alpha_Digamma]

I think you should avoid attacking any kind of symbol of the empire as much as possible. That's not just holy Terra or Odin but any fortress world too. Any of those attacks could lead the Empire to mount defenses beyond any reasoning, think battle of Verdun in the Great War on earth. The Empire has a bigger economic base and a defensive war always is good for morale and recruitment efforts, so the F.P.A. would very likely lose in this scenario.

Instead I suggest to exploit the defense in depth strategy and find a number of choke points the F.P.A. can hold with relative ease. My goal is not to defeat the Empire in glorious battle but to starve out their war economy. The fewer star systems contribute to their military production capabiliities the less their economic advantage is. You may even be able to capture a star system with some rare resources the Empire depends upon way beyond the local industrial facilities. That gives you the opportunity to lure them into a trap and defeat a substantial part of their fleet in a failed attempt to recapture the respective system.

The longer you can hold imperial territory the more your propaganda efforts can turn the empire's citizens against the nobility. Both on occupied/ freed territory and beyond. - It may not be glorious but it's less risky than betting all on expensive offensive actions.

I love this, it was expertly written and narrated, I also loved the map, any chance it's posted somewhere, if so can I get a link?

Active forces only 190k ships is too small for Empire.

Considering how much imperial armies went to join Lipsdatt Alliance as well. So they easily have 300k fleet active there.

Remember how when operation ragnarok begin. Kesler, Mckelinger, Kempf, and many former Noble Fleet that is now being placed on behind after the war.

Considering we are talking about invasion by FPA which from the beginning has less ships already compared to Empire total as well. The invasion has always been hail mary attack. There is no more back up plan after this.

Also asking for more money when FPA budget has fallen to phezzan has been under total debt that they are scrambling to build any more fleet.

Overall. The best strategy is easily. To not attack. It is that simple.
