Could intercept intercontinental missiles

“It may not matter,” she said. “The CUI is gathering a fleet together to attack. They still have some nuclear weapons, but Scion would likely intercept any missiles so they’re more likely to try smuggling them in. They’re assembling a fleet as we speak, but their own electrical issues are slowing things. Our Thinkers suggest that they won’t be ready for a couple of months. Even though their army is a lot bigger, the distance will be an issue for them making logistics a nightmare. Normally they’d have no chance in a land war; they’re just too far away. The problem is that most of our remaining healthy capacity for production is on the West Coast; they could easily force a collapse if they destroy the infrastructure there too.”
