FSA secrets
1. At the time of the peacekeeper Crisis, I had exactly one (1) ICBM+ that could defeat the peacekeeper system.
2. The original plan was to Annex the Mars Ruins as property of the FSA, but due to there small size, that plan was shelved.
3. Operation Underworld was a highly successful operation. The FSA Geo-survey ships found ruins on Triton, along with some minerals, and we discreetly built a major base and landed construction battalions to exploit the ruins. One or more Meson Cruisers where in orbit to order off anyone who became close to the base. this is why the FSA gave up claims to Mercury, as we felt the ruins where more valuable then the minerals in Mercury. Violation of Triton would have resulted in the FSA going to war. However both the NAU and Russia really did not go past Saturn.
4. FSA intel was able to steal a few key technologies, otherwise we would have been a generation behind everyone.
5. The next step, other then exploring jump points, was to build a missile armed cruiser and exit the space treaty. We had some designs on the shelf for something in the 2500-3000 ton range.
6. while other nations went for size, I went for number of slips, thus the reason why I was able to spam meson boats.

At which point my Meson gunboats would be down-rated to Corvettes
