Ah, it's the new thing - the anonymous proxy-war. Well done! Patent pending or has the CIA a copyright for that?
Happens, that we were given the system Kurughnaye for our PMF Screaming Eagles (anarchy) in September last year and after gaining control nothing happened bgs-wise for months. Until in April all of a sudden the other factions increased activities and after three months we are looking at a series of civil wars now - and a completely obscure bgs scenario/behavior.
Not that we would mind to fight for control of a system, it is part of the game after all, but not knowing who we are fighting, for what reason and - last but not least - how many and where(from), tops the game's allowance of ganking or griefing by far, as in these events you have at least a name to throw your salt at. It is by far one of the most stupid things I have ever encountered in a computer game, sorry to write that, but are we

We can guess, following Jane Turner's description at https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...her-bgs-attacks-best-current-thinking.433709/ that it is an attack, but do we know? No, not if there is no transparency about traffic and actions in a system, at least to that extend that one can see if one's efforts were enough or not compared with the 'enemy's' efforts.
Furthermore, we can speculate, if it is...
Add, in the anonymous proxy-war, the few data available (like traffic or squad-stats) theoretically help the alleged hidden attacker more than the defender. A very interesting concept, indeed.
Also, all just being RNG motivated cannot be excluded.
Well, done!
We will keep on fighting these wars, at least they ammount credits. Hopefully, at the end of them all, we will not only be victorious (and too drunk to secondguess this non-sense any longer) but have also figured out, how kills in shared wing-massacre-missions are counted...

Furthermore, we can speculate, if it is...
- randoms (maybe, coming to the system for Diamond piracy inspired by DowntoEarthAstronomy's video?)
- someone prepping something (Fed Corps for Winters or LYR?)
- someone who doesn't like anarchies and prefers Fed Corps (and flips many neighboring systems over the recent months?)
- technically: platform pc/ps/xbox?
- Instancing: open/pg/solo?
- geographically `South Pacific'?
- money?
- strategy?
- annoyance?
