==The Center of Gravity==

The first proposition concerns the concept of the center of gravity and its relationship to the overall strategic planning of the war campaign. The center of gravity is typically considered to be the sources of strength or balance that project the force. In New Eden this is manifested in the location of the mass of their force, and the fleet doctrine within that force. Furthermore, it is described as that characteristic, ~~capaboility~~, or locality from which the force derives its freedom of action, physical strength, or will to fight.

Clausewitz offers some thoughts on identifying the center of gravity, which paraphrased states the commander must keep in mind the dominant charactersitics of both belligerents, and out of those characteristics a certain center of gravity develops, the hub of all power and movements, on which everthing depends.
