Relativistic Combat at Galactic Scale

Description

Military operations near the galactic core operate under extreme relativistic effects, where time dilation means soldiers age differently from their commanders, and strategy must account for communication delays measured in lifetimes.

Real-World Relevance

Models extreme communication asymmetry in warfare: relevant to autonomous military operations at planetary distances, where real-time command is physically impossible.
