I wonder if my placement of 3 Battlestations at the wormhole jump point, gave the spark to war...
But they wouldn't see 3 60k battlestations as a prelude to war, would they?
Of course not!
They planned for war all the time, we were lucky to manage to place the first 3 of 6 planned, mere hours before broke out...
To date, after 16 days of war we have managed to destroy 31 destroyer sized warships and 39 light/heavy cruiser variants, but the last incursion were to big to destroy, so now gateway system have 9CL/CA and 4 DDs enemy on the lose, luckily they are targeting the point defences, the battlestations heavy shielding is still capable of withstanding all missile fire.
We are in the process of developing a new missile, short ranged but capable of destroying a cruiser in one or 2 hits, smaller ships will not stand a chance.
In the planning of these defences, there were to be a carriere version of battlestation, the Gotland class, a small group of fighters/interceptors for mopping up damaged ships, still no one built due to war broke out way to early.
Over Faraway colony, ground based lasers/railguns have killed 2 destroyers that got to close. After 36 hours of ground war their colony were taken by our superior forces.

Now we are only waiting for the 2 battle fleets that are in transit, in total some 70 combat ships, from the giant carriers to the small, old but still capable Napoleon destroyers, soon we will invade the contact system, 2 tank divisions is also being transported to Gateway system, with other support units in transit from Terra, Mars and Luna.
