A reaction fleet and positional fleet for Terra Invicta

The initial Terra Invicta proposal divides the fleet between ships that hold indispensable positions and a mobile force that responds to incursions.

Question

How would the panel build a fleet for the alien-invasion scenario in Terra Invicta?

Short answer

Use a positional fleet to hold vital locations and a fast reaction fleet to counter incursions, with long-range weapons to begin attrition early.

Notes

A defensive fleet would hold important positions long enough to delay an attacker. A separate reaction fleet would move rapidly to reinforce those positions or attack an incursion. Both forces would seek long-range weapons so that they could begin inflicting losses before the enemy closed. This is an initial strategy proposed before the panel works through several constraints imposed by the alien-invasion scenario.
