Permit me to observe that, as far as I can see, in space we would trump your warships (By sheer force of numbers if anything else) or would be equal in that combat, while on the ground we would probably have a situation like Halo. I would pour troops by the million onto your planet and would experience lots of casualties, while gaining, perhaps, space supremacy and you would probably beat the heck out of my troops while on the ground.
I mean, your largest vessel is 1000 m long. My largest is 9000 m long, average (Some larger, some smaller). My vessels are also...somehow better armed than yours (Save for them 70cm Antimatter Torpedoes), though I imagine yours are more effective in terms of targeting. Also, shields.
So it would, in summary, be very, very bloody.
Perhaps, if that is the case, it would be on one of my outlying colonies, and I would still be capable of some space power projection, ie, you cant destroy my entire navy.
