Update on the status of Her Illustrious Highness, the Imperial Princess, Senator Arissa Lavigny-Duval's galactic influence.
Preparation:
Due to our state of Turmoil, there is nothing to prepare.
Expansion:
Fighting corruption in Ida Dhor proceeds in exemplerary fashion, with no opposition to speak of.
Fortification:
Due to the Turmoil Damoorai is experiencing, it is absolutely necessary for pilots loyal to Lavigny-Duval's cause to successfully fortify all of their control systems. Currently, there are still 34 of 59 systems unfortified. One system, LHS 1862, is already successfully undermined. The fortification status
spreadsheet for Cycle 8 is being updated as I write. Now, there is a column for the total amount needed to reach the trigger point. The attempt is to make priority decisions clearer.
To further expedite our Fortification crisis, Lavigny's Legion
has started a competition with edible rewards for the best fortifier this cycle. Everyone is invited to participate.
Minor Faction Troubles:
First and foremost,
fortification must be successful this cycle if we are to be able to plan our strategy for next week well.
We have recently learned that the controlling minor faction of both control systems and exploited systems contribute to a system's fortification trigger, which is why some are under 3000 tonnes, and others are over 10000 tonnes. It takes a lot of contribution to affect minor faction status, so there is very little public discussion about manipulating this for the benefit of the princess as of yet.
Currently, there is open warfare in at least 9 control systems. 6 of them directly concern whether or not a Patronage faction will maintain or wrench control of the system. These should take priority over any individual effort you are assisting in your system of choice. These Patronage factions must be victorious in their conflicts, or our fortification triggers will only get more daunting. They are currently labeled on the spreadsheet, but we are contemplating creating a new spreadsheet specifically for minor faction status and states in our control systems.
To efficiently contribute to both this effort and the fortification drive, a commander could fortify using a conflict zone capable ship. Alternatively, running bulletin board missions for the Patronage factions should also assist their war efforts. Four of the six systems in conflict are also unfortified, so after you deliver your Garrison Supplies, running missions for those factions or engaging their opposition in conflict zones should help our cause immensely. Remember, combat bonds get the same bonus as bounties!
These statistics all come from the System View map, dated 0630 on 26 July 3301.
Redoneangi was controlled last cycle by an Anarchy faction, the Redoneangi Organization. Now they are at war with an expanding Patronage group, Wabayo Citizens' Forum.
- Wabayo Citizens' Forum @35.5%; Redoneangi Organization @16.7%
A civil war is in earnest in Martio between the Patronage Imperial Society and the corporate Martio Limited.
- Martio Imperial Society @34.5%; Martio Limited @31.3%
Amenta is embroiled in a civil war, between the Patronage faction Amenta Empire Assembly and the corporate Silver Allied Company.
- Amenta Empire Assembly @36.9%; Silver Allied Company @44.6%
Nyalayan is also engaged in a civil war with a little heard of faction.
- Nyalayan Imperial Society @36.1%; the other faction's status is not known at this time.
Two others are in already fortified systems, so sadly, chances are most commanders will not be in the area.
Vish has two factions engaged in a brutal civil war, and the Patronage faction is on the worse end of it.
- Vish Patron's Principles @30.2%; Vish PLC @40.6%
The civil war in Vodyanes has already shifted the balance of power. Currently, it's Patronage controlling faction, Vodyanes Emperor's Grace, is falling in status due to its conflict with Blue Major Network, and independently aligned corporation.
- Vodyanes Emperor's Grace @10.0%; Blue Major Network @6.5%
Additionally, there are reports of conflicts between non-controlling Patronage factions in Yupini, and He Xingo, and conflicts not involving Senator Lavigny's patrons in multiple systems including Shatrites and Caria.
Remember pilots,
fortification is the priority. But if you're a combat pilot looking for some direction in life, get your information here. If you're not looking for combat, and have your choice of mission, accept missions from the Patronage factions within Lavigny space. Exploited systems benefit us, too!
