Dispatch from the Kamadhenu Herald
17 September 3301
Senator Lavigny-Duval had a massive show of support last week, but remains in deficit. GalNet marks the Senator 632 units short, with five new systems entering a state of turmoil. GalNet's Galactic Powers feature shows that Aisling Duval has also fallen into Turmoil this week. However, according to Research, the Senator's systems in turmoil are five of the systems that they pointed to as deficit-causers for the Senator. While there was a drop off in income, due to losing seven systems to revolt, the Senator is still rated in the top 50% of galactic powers. All things considered, Research is pleased with this result.
Elsewhere in the galaxy, Prime Minister Mahon reached #1 in the rankings, while both Federation Powers round out the top three. Senator Lavigny still controls 65 systems, and of the 7 undermined, only 5 are in turmoil.
Within those 5 systems, just over 20 billion civilians are experiencing a state of turmoil. These five systems have an average population half the size of the average population per control system within the Senator's Dominion.
As galactic influence and command capital is determined solely by population influenced, these five systems are not truly beneficial to the Senator's capital reserves.
Current Diplomatic Status
According to Imperial High Command and sources close to Senator Lavigny-Duval's Privy Council, she currently has an adhoc allied or neutral status with six Powers: Sirius Gov, Senators Patreus and Torval, Aisling Duval, Pranav Antal, and Prime Minister Mahon. These are not Imperial decrees, but active diplomatic work on behalf of the Senator's best interests has procured non-aggression pacts and otherwise beneficial arrangements, such as the Sirius Gov embassy in Heverduduna, which allows for easy access to discounted vessels and outfitting near Imperial space.
Open hostilities exist between the Senator's pledged pilots and Archone Delaine (Pegasi Conflict), Federation Shadow President Winters, and President Hudson as well.
Now that you know the lay of the land, what can a single pilot or group of pilots do about it?
Here is Research's take on Senator Lavigny-Duval's prospects for the week.
Preparation
Due to the state of turmoil, Commanders pledged to Senator Lavigny-Duval cannot prepare systems for any anti-corruption campaigns this week.
Expansion/Opposition
Tutorial can be found here.
No expansion targets are available to the Senator's pledged pilots this week. For those who earn their merits by combat, there are only two options: Opposition and Undermining.
Shadow President Felicia Winters has one potential expansion project underway, in the highly contested region of HIP 43197.
This system sits directly between Cerni and CD-49 3617, two systems which Research has tried to aim Lavigny loyalists at before. It also inhabits the same sphere as Kwatsu, a system which Aisling Duval controlled until several weeks ago.
Additionally, pirate lord Archon Delaine has tumbled in the galactic standings, but currently has four active expansion targets.
The Commanders at Imperial High Command have already issued their suggested targets for the Pegasi Conflict. Their primary opposition target this week? Or Delphini.
Fortification
Tutorial can be found here.
Once again, Research's fortification spreadsheet proved accurate and crucial to logistical success.
Diligent space truckers from around Imperial space successfully fortified all of the highly populated and profit making control spheres loyal to the Senator early in the week. The restraint shown during the last 48 hours in allowing the low-population systems to be undermined is what allowed for five of the most deserted systems in Lavigny space to fall into Turmoil. The key this week will be to make sure a deficit is danced with and ensure these systems are lost to revolt. Expect the same level of undermining.
With that in mind, Research asks that all pilots pledged to Senator Lavigny-Duval fortify all profit-making systems above the line. When in doubt, use the automated Recommended Hitlist, which makes the most efficient use of jump range and landing pad availability.
Undermining
Tutorial can be found here.
Over the past two weeks, pilots pledged to Federation Powers have been undermining space loyal to the Senator in far greater numbers than seen previously. Organized and intense undermining of Federation targets began in earnest last week, though neither Power fell into Turmoil. Now that the Close Quarters Combat Championships are open for galactic stress testing, who knows where Commanders will choose to find their combat fix.
Feel free to co-ordinate parties to undermine Federation Control Systems at will. Once again, undermining a control system over 100% has no effect. Most targets on the borders are undermined before the first few days pass.
The Pegasi Pirate Conflict continues. IHC's priorities have shifted towards opposition instead of undermining.
If you wish to participate in organized undermining, feel free to contact one the player groups pledged to the Senator: Lavigny's Legion, The White Templars, or Les Corsaires de l'Empire. Rumors of another group, The Imperial Inquisition, come from the far side of inhabited space, near Damoorai. Some members claim allegiance to the Senator, but little is known about them at this time.
The Kamadhenu Chapterhouse of Inquisition
The Chapterhouse attempted to assist Operation Janus last week, though both operations failed in their stated goals. An organization loyal to the Alliance worked diligently to flip Nurundere to an Alliance dictatorship, while a staunch Hudson expansion was not successfully opposed.
The Chapterhouse Lantern states that four control systems are in the throes of Civil War. Lutni and Xinca desperately need help, while assistance in Vodyanes and Carverda would be greatly appreciated.
In other news, all of the profitable control spheres in Lavigny space have been fully surveyed and catalogued, valiant Commanders looking to make their home system benefit Senator Lavigny-Duval's cause are encouraged to sign up and help in any way.

Good luck and Godspeed, Commanders.
