The railguns' positions and likely locations are designated as planned targets for artillery strike once the invasion begins. They are also linked into the fleet's targeting systems, just in case the emplacements prove too hardened for ground-based artillery to penetrate.

Hoping to coordinate all of their advantages into one location, High Command asks for an overview of the Grendel Plains. If the storms there are not remarkably bad and the land is not too much worse than the majority of Aerlanican land, that could provide the perfect location for their initial strike. On the off chance that the acid storms in that region of Aerlanica are even less predictable and vastly more destructive than usual, Rathoria could reduce the number of infantry used in the assault and issue them all protections against the weather.

Seeing as many of the frantic explosions of combat around the planet are winding down, military preparations across Rathorian-controlled lands will be more noticeable soon. High Command wants to launch their attack before Madylin Jones is able to determine their intent and build up a defense, and as such they readily agree with the rebels' idea. They dispatch a swift corvette with an envoy out to the same Aerlanican colony world they had the supplies delivered to a little over a month ago.

The envoy has instructions to inform the Federation of Rathoria's liberation plans, and to ask whether they would be willing to coordinate.
