World Domination of Course!!!
Nickeris86:
After reading some of these I am going to have to rethink my introduction of the Invading force. Originally I had them capture a US Navy fleet, without killing anyone then destroyed the ships.
Kind of a "Here we are and we can do this. What!"
But now I am thinking striking at the US in such a direct method would be unwise politically.
I am going to have to go a more subtle way before the actual fighting begins, because it will happen.

I suppose you could have entire fleets or task groups just disappear on a trans pacific cruise. No on knows what happened then the new kids on the block start making visible waves elsewhere.
Followed by reports from Invader analysts to Strategic Command. American Fleet has been degraded to as acceptable, one we can live with, according to the Manifesto or whatever master plan they have.

The question would be, "who are they trying to intimidate" and are they trying to soley intimidate at this point, or actually diminish/destroy the US's ability to project power globally at this point?
If you want to intimidate John Q Public, you need to hit (or show control of) something they relate to in their every day lives. Groceries, for example.
Now, for government, how about a sizable chunk of the nuclear arsenel, or maybe a few of the "boomers".... the navy's missile subs? "Shit! Where'd all our subs in the Pacific just go?" would cause all sorts of Pucker Factor in the brass and politicians smart enough to know their value. Or all of a certain class of secret spy sat?

I did have the idea of taking out satellites. Also a satellite weapons system that would be just as devastating as a nuke without as much radiation.

EMP. Fry any active electronics in the field of effect. Shut down a city or a fleet at sea....
Even though there are "no broken windows", a strike on a town or city would still create a lot of casualties. Planes crashing, cars going dead while on the highway, hospital life support, industrial machinery and processes that require constant electronic supervision, etc.
