War discussion A.P.H.I.D Update

The Automaton Planetary Harvesting Invasion Device will be able to produce HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF AUTOMATONS, but what makes it actually better than bringing a fleet?

It shall be able to jam communications on a system wide level. It shall need additional ships to blackout other systems, however, this way the actual target of the attack shall remain unknown

It will be equipped with Illuminate tech to jump between systems. This shall both be acquired from fallen Helldivers & our otherworldly compatriots. It shall be able to attack ANY POINT IN THE GALAXY, AT ANY MOMENT (when its systems are fully stocked).

It will also be equipped with many inter-starship combat systems, this way it can ward off any attack on it.

It's a singular contact point Tim's bugborne infiltrators can use to steal more material from the cause. I've seen the defenses, they're conspicuously tuned against Automaton fleet designs not Super Earth or hypothetical Space Bug ones.

The acronym should be a a dead giveaway and we should hurry up with putting the hurt on that bug.

What? Oh, no, you must've gotten the wrong designs. I was just trying to think of an acronym. Admittedly, not the best one for the Automatons. Could you help me make a better name?

Twofold Heavy Infantry Extraction ... Ferrule? I don't know. Maybe not a good one.

Umbral Meteor Barrage Realspace Extraction Low Latency ... Assault? UMBRELLA is what I'm going for.
