Side Chapter: Terran Federation Klendathu Assessment and Military Procurements

Federation Report 035125-Klen

Classification: Level 0 [No Clearance needed]

By: Military Analyst/Observer Emerson Holland

As I am writing this Report, it burdens me, that I have to write down every Men and Women that is K.I.A and Unable to I.D the Corpses that were too "Messed Up" unable to be verified could been Worse...

100k M.I Soldiers entered the First Waves of the Landing Point, And Only 46000 Survived the First Bug Assaults, adding to a total of 156780 Soldiers that were Killed and 75k Went MIA On the Ground of the 500K that Landed, Due to the Fact that the Newly Made Organization Created by Commander Alexander Solair during Sky Marshall Dienes Term, Whose Troops Managed to Assist the Evacuation in a Orderly matter that Such Casualties was Low...

And surprisingly there was little to none, casualties rate by M.A.Rs Ground Forces, Despite they Sent a 750K of Soldiers and Vehicles into the Fray which was more that we could mustered, and Not Counting the Amount of Soldiers that were Station at that Base that was not included in the Plan, to me, it seems that it was either a Lucky Guess or that there was Actually Traitors in the Echelon that wanted this to happen... Though it is not my Position to Criticize the Failures, that Hidden Base is What Saved Most of the Soldiers we Fielded.... And Despite Sky Marshall Dienes Failure, he managed to Get a saving Point for the Troopers to Safely Evacuate from the Bug Capital...

While the Fleet Command ships was Practically Mauled by Plasma Balls, to the Point that, Most If Not All of the Ships that they fielded in the Operation, either put to Months of long repairs or be scrapped due to extensive damage... Crippling the Response time For the Fleet to Heed the SoS for Planets that needed their Help...

While the Ships Alexander Used managed to partially Damaged and could be in service within couple of days... Though Fleet Command demanded that Alex should give his ships to them during the Naval Review a Month after the Disaster, He merely pointed out the problem... "Lack Of Cohesion"... He stated that, he did Warn Fleet Command about the Dangers of the Plasma Balls and they mistook him for Cowardice and Sentence Their Crews to their Deaths... and they Could not Blame him, was that he did request the Very same Ships they lost, to Ferry his Troops upon the Founding of his Branch, but his Request was Rejected, because he was Overstepping the Boundaries, thus Making him to Build his own... Only when the Federal Council Intervene, that Alexander Solair Made a Concession, only the Most Competent Captain will Field The Luna Class Ships and they will undergo an Extensive evaluation whether if they are Capable, and If not, They will be Unable to be Listed to the Space Force of the M.A.Rs Regardless of Credentials and Achievements they acquired During their Tenure as Fleet Captains...

And my Personal Point of View in this Debacle is that Intelligence Was Wrong... and it Costed Us Dearly... And M.A.Rs is under Fire of being Blamed since it was Founded during Sky Marshall Dienes Tenure, instead of the Savior of saving Mobile Infantry is Worrisome, Since they are the Only Fleet that is Still Fully Operational and Distancing the only Fleet that is Still Combat Operational is Shall I Say "Nuts"?

And there were Reports that Arachnids Invasion was Reported in the Fringe Planets of Federation Space, But Thanks to the Extensive Garrisons That Alexander Solari had Placed On the Federation Fringe Space, the Casualties were minimal, and the Fringe Planet are Loyal to the Federation... But I Have an Inkling Feeling that they are more Loyal to Alexander, than The Federation as a Whole, If Alexander Does "retire" or Overthrown from his position...I dare not wish to Know... As he done So much for them with Supplies, Medical, Funding, Education, Security and Infrastructures Making them Prosper that is Equal to the Core worlds, despite he was stationed in Mars, while the Federation Taxed them Heavily.... Even a Monkey Could see that... They will side with Alexander... If The Federation Deemed him to be a traitor.... And Federation Can't Take a Risk of Blaming Alexander for the Failure or risk a Two Way war...

Assessment of Klendathu:

Partial Strategic Failure:

Mobile Infantry are Unable to Complete their Objectives And Suffered Moderate Casualties, M.A.Rs Suffered Minor Casualties, but Lost 3 Companies of Sentinels and One Battalion of Chimeras due to Battle Damage as the Crew Overloaded their Vehicles as a Bomb or so the "Reports" Given By M.A.Rs, And Fleet Command Are unable to Respond to S.o.S From Planets and Only M.A.Rs Space Fleet are able to Ferry the Mobile Infantry Troops until the Fleet is Fully Formed

Tactical Sucess:

Federation Managed to Make a Safe Landing Point for Future Invasions, thanks to Alexander Plans to Build the Star Fort... And Diverting the Arachnids to Focus their Attention to the Base, Causing Less invasion to the Federation Fringe Worlds

Consequences:

Strategy of System Hopping (raids on nearby-Klendathu systems), However Alexande Fleet still have Access to Supply the Star Fort in the Bug Capital... And Sole Transport Fleets For Mobile Infantry as they are the only Fleet that is Still Operational for at least 2 years, and M.A.Rs is Now Contracted to Build Forts as the Effect of the What they build was Effective... And More Cheaply than Contractors that is Unavailable in a Bug Zone....

Now Heading to the Weapons Assessment

And The weaponry we used By Morita Industries was Useful for One Bug.. However it did not have enough Piercing Damage a Horde of them, Despite having High Ammo Capacity and It didn't Factor in the Fear Of the Troopers and Deficiency appeared when some survivors reported that it constantly jammed when Firing Constantly and the Aiming in Ironsights is Unusable, It was more like a Spray and Pray weapon, and Recruits Run the Ammo Dry faster, while Veterans are Used to it...

While Morita Industries managed to get Field Reports and Rectify the issues to Morita Mark II, they Had a Contender Coming Up "Mars Foundry" a Simple but Apt Name Introduced the New Products For Infantry Called "Mars Pattern Mark I LasGun" And "M10 Armageddon Pattern AutoGuns" introduced in the Military Procurement

These Two weapons is the Hot Topic, as One was a Lightweight Optical Weapon and Have Piercing Cauterizing effect, All-terrain and Accurate and it only Need to Charge the Ammo using a Generator Thus Making it "Infinite" thus alleviating Logistical Issues. While another is a Jack of all Trade as it can Use Variety of Shells like High Explosives, Hypersonic, Armor Piercing and even Stun Bullets as Peacekeeping Operations, however it is slightly heavier than a Morita Rifle, Both of them had two different varieties, one focused on Logistics, While Other is Jack of all trades... And Both Of them had Absurd amount of Ammo Capacity, Upon Reverse Engineering the weapons, turns out they are worse performance than the actual thing and have less ammo capacity, thus knowing which is fake and what is real...

[x590 Ammo Perk Remember?]

And there was a Split among the Generals that those what wanted to procure such Items, One Side Desire the Logistical Alleviation, While Another side Wanted all Purpose Autoguns... As they Quarrel, They found out that Each of the Two Weapons, Was but a Fraction of the Morita Mark 1 Cost..

A Million Each was Ordered, and next month it was Delivered, Showing the Same Consistency and Performance on the Military Procurement.... Thus Delighting the Generals as they decided that, the LasGuns will be Suited for Mobile Infantry while Special Forces will get the Autoguns And Slowly Implement it throughout the Mobile Infantry Phasing out the Morita Rifles Mark 1...

And Morita Industries Nearly Went Bankrupt, as they Tried to Lower Cost similar to that of Mars Creation, but with Worse Performance, but they were Absorbed by the Wondertainment Company and Tasked to Create the Mobile Infantry Marauders using the Data From the Sentinels, they Made it a year Earlier than Canon... And Despite It may Look like the Wondertainment Could have Name it as their own, they Let Morita Industries as the Trademark...

"As a Sign of Respect, from Upper Management they said"...

________________________________________________________________

Author Here Crazy day for me... Someone Asked me when i Started out, That I should Implemented Military Procurement early... I would Said no at the Start, Because Morita Industries Is Basically like the Royal Amory Like Mauser in Germany in WW2, Since they had the Backing of the Federation and was Quite Slow to React to Changes? Only when there is Actual Performance of Another Product that is Better Performance on the Field, would they lose Favor of the Federation... I know what is like when a Company is in Desperation trying to make Prototypes to Make the Customer Come back...

So in a Sense The Company that Made Morita Arsenals is now Absorbed by Alexander, they ain't destroyed, but Given Quite a Literal Infinite Funding and Materials than what they have as a standalone Company... So their Main Focused now is Building Giant Robots instead of the Infantry Equipment...

And this is Probably an Effect why Buying Material with Requisition Points and competing it to Local industries can crash the market.. as all they need to do is Buy the Processed Materials with points and manufactured it cheaply, to pennies will make anyone goes insane... Or even worse.. just Buy the Actual Weapons instantly and Claimed it as your own... and Warhammer doesn't have Patent Laws in another universe?
