Option 1: Maintenance and Readiness |
In this plan, Darkside Station is treated just like any other urban center in the
ongoing struggle. Recruiting and training are prioritized, and activist operations
are kept small-scale and infrequent, in order to maximize operational security.
The long-range goal for Luna is to become one more link in the chain of resistance,
so that at a pre-arranged time the Lunar Resistance can rise in concert
with cells all over Earth, and simultaneously end or disrupt WEC control in
each individual locality, compelling the Consortium to enact sweeping democratic
reforms. This is the default strategy for all Resistance operations. In this
plan, control of the moon becomes a strategically significant objective (because
of the necessity of ongoing Di-Cor production after the action). Lunar Command
should prepare contingency plans not only for military and propaganda operations
during the action, but also for sustaining mining operations throughout the
re-organization period to follow. |
