Power Projection: Fleet has three levels of more strategic stuff:

1. Tournament rules (which is basis for squadron designs and comes from 
Trillion Credit Squadron).
2. Clash of Empires (a somewhat abstracted economics system based upon 
a pre-selected overall budget linked to the local planetary systems 
economies, plus logistics and maintenance).
3. Pocket Empires (basically, the Trillion Credit Squadron economics 
rules integrated to Power Projection).

Options 2 and 3 are managed within the strategic turn system, which is 
a development of that seen originally in Fifth Frontier War by GDW.

I'm hoping to set up something using Option 2...
