Hidden asteroid installations would house people, shipbuilding and fleet support before the invasion. Under this proposal, losing Earth's industry would remain catastrophic but would no longer end humanity's ability to build ships and fight. Dispersal would also support mobile delaying forces, which could draw pursuing ships past concealed gun and missile positions. Massed missiles and physical shells would compensate for the limitations of individual weapons, with more fire concentrated against larger enemy ships. Damaged Garmillas vessels would be captured and dismantled to recover their technology, supported by trained boarding crews.

Keeping UNCF industry alive in concealed asteroid bases
Concealed asteroid settlements and shipyards would preserve the UNCF's war effort after an attack on Earth and support missile ambushes against pursuing fleets.
