Week 1/week 2 + questions

So Hacet's been quietly planning/compiling what he (and his spies) know, and suchlike in week one I plan to get that toplevel up today /cough

And the payoff should be in the battle that's supposed to happen in week 2. He's been working hard on finding means where the Aurigan fleet can pull a surprise victory in spite of smaller numbers on the EDSF. He's been looking into flanking maneuvers, surprise attacks, faking a loss to drive the Earth forces into a position where they can be attacked, laying traps and etc.

I need to know what he can work with. Are there places where he could hide ships/troops (disguising them as wrecks on the front lines/perhaps)? Can he arrange for the battle to take place somewhere particular? Can he plant some kind of mines or other weapon to be activated at the right time? Is there a way that he could mess with sensors to encourage friendly fire? (Or does he have ships that could get the enemy into position around them and duck out of the way fast enough that friendly fire happens anyway?)

Regarding intelligence, I'm assuming he's figured out that there is some new weapon at the very least (he has had issues with misinformation (thanks Kinji) but he's almost certainly gotten accurate info too). He'd like to lure it out before it's finished testing if he can, in hopes of exploiting bugs that haven't been worked out yet. He's totally willing to sacrifice people to sabotage things too.
