Dispatch from the Kamadhenu Herald
19 November 3301
The polls have closed for the week, and GalNet has once again named Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval the most influential Power in the galaxy!
In light of reaching GalNet's first position, this week bounty rewards for Rating 5 pilots are increased! The Dispatch would like to introduce everyone to the newly pledged frontier system of HR 4720. It is a Federal democracy, but we shouldn't hold that against them. HR 4720 is over 100Ly from Kamadhenu, and less than 40Ly from this week's Winters expansion in Kherthaje. HR 4720 is also home to a coriolus station with all facilities: Tarelkin Port. The truly impressive fact? This industrial refinery home to five million also hosts pristine metallic rings, metal rich rings, rocky rings, and at least one hazardous extraction site mere light seconds from Tarelkin Port. Keep up the hard work, commanders, and enjoy your bounty hunting!
President Hudson remained ranked above Prime Minister Mahon last week, and has eight active expansions, two of which contest eleven systems currently exploited by Shadow President Winters. The Kumo Crew defeated resistance efforts in Yuror, bringing another Imperial system under Archon Delaine’s yoke. Senator Denton Patreus remains in a slump, with Utgaroar revolting and 47 Ceti raising the alarm as citizens make a run on the local banks.
Five systems experienced mass criminal activity and are protesting recent decisions from the Emperor’s Kamadhenu based cotiere. Due to this undermining of the power-base, two of the systems which were home to successful crime sweeps last week have failed to pledge their support to the Emperor. Namarii and LTT 1345 refused to declare loyalty, much to the relief of Research.
Current Diplomatic Status
According to sources close to the Emperor’s Kamadhenu-based councilors, she currently has an adhoc allied or neutral status with two power-brokers: Li Yong-Rui and Pranav Antal. Additionally, Senators Patreus and Torval, along with Aisling Duval, have supported and embraced our new Emperor as an ally. These are not Imperial decrees, but active diplomatic work on behalf of the Emperor's best interests has procured non-aggression pacts and otherwise beneficial arrangements.
Open hostilities exist between pilots pledged to Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval and those of President Hudson, Shadow President Winters, and the Kumo Crew.
Now that you know the lay of the land, what can a single pilot or group of pilots do about it?
For a quick look at Research’s suggested priorities, check the cycle priorities sheet.
Preparation
Tutorial can be found here.
Unfortunately, due to the low surplus of command capital available, there are no targets available for Lavigny-Duval loyalists to prepare.
Expansion
Tutorial can be found here.
There are three systems with active crime sweeps this week, with the aggressive placement of Mbutsi likely to require the most effort to succeed. Distant Contie will also require a few dedicated pilots to assist the expansion there.
Opposition
Tutorial can be found here.
Shadow President Winters is once again pushing her Liberal Aide agenda in a system surrounded by systems loyal to the Emperor. Kherthaje is 40 Ly from four control systems: Olelbis, Juipedi, HR 4720, and Shatrites. This expansion must be opposed, for the safety of the Lavigny-Duval power base.
The Imperial system of Yuror fell to the invasion forces of the Kumo Crew. Resistance Pockets are forming in VVO 19 and Brynhilo.
Fortification
Tutorial can be found here.
Pilots pledged to the Lavigny-Duval Logistics Division once again delivered enough garrison supplies to meet the demands from local governors and patrons almost everywhere of note. Research is pleased with the unopposed undermining of their ‘deficit-causing’ systems. Sadly, however, five systems above the line were left unfortified and two of them were fully undermined by the opposition. With at least one other untended system shy of full undermining. Mass deficit and turmoil was narrowly avoided this cycle, and with six new systems, fortification is due to only get more difficult.
Only twenty-eight systems read as fortified, but at least sixteen systems were saved from being undermined by the delivery of their full allotment of garrison supplies.
For a quick look to see the most efficient systems for effective fortification, please check the cycle priorities sheet.
For a detailed look at fortification tasks this week, Research presents its fortification tracker sheet.
Undermining
Tutorial can be found here.
The three powers opposed to the Emperor’s political goals all experienced a large amount of resistance, with twenty-four systems reaching an undermined status between them. This is in addition to the heavy fortification those powers achieved. The Herald's Research department will make the top five targets for undermining available on its cycle priorities sheet, and it should be updated regularly. Remember pilots, undermining a system over 100% does not help anyone’s cause.
Commander Mira Alluvion, an Aisling loyalist, works diligently to gather intelligence on all hostile powers, though her primary focus is the Pegasi Pirate War.
Minor Factions
Many minor factions have pledged their loyalties to the Emperor’s personal fleet. Her many successes could not have been possible without their efforts. If your faction is not represented in reporting or strategy, please contact your nearest representative.
Los Centinelas contribute to undermining efforts in systems loyal to hostile powers. Last week, their target was Shadow President Winters.
The White Templars, a group of space-faring knights pledged to Emperor’s personal fleet, consistently campaign against the Kumo Crew. Their stalwart actions have helped the Imperial cause in the Pegasi Sector, and elsewhere as the situation requires.
Lavigny's Legion: hosts of the Velite Squadron and the Carthage Auxiliary Corps, operate around the galaxy with little fanfare.
Other groups of Pilots' Federation commanders campaign throughout hostile territory. Some are fairly secretive in their activities, like Les Corsairs de l'Empire, the 9th Legion, and the Nova Fleet, yet others have not made their activities known to the Kamadhenu Herald.
The Kamadhenu Chapterhouse of Inquisition continues its campaign to support patrons and feudal lords under the purview of the Emperor’s Kamadhenu coterie. Due to exigent circumstances, The Chapterhouse Lantern is currently on a hiatus from publishing. If you see a loyal patron or feudal lord under attack, or in need of assistance, please contact the Kamadhenu Herald and the information should reach the Cycle Priorities sheet.

Good luck and godspeed.
