== Strategic Value ==
Earth is the primary base of operations, with nations providing resources, research, and funding. Earth orbit positions are critical for research, communications, surveillance, and as staging areas for deeper space missions.

== Bombard Values ==

See [[Fleets#Orbital_Bombardment]] for an explanation of what these values mean and how they are calculated.
