PIRATE REBELS COUP ATTEMPT FAILS​

16 MAY 3308
An insurrection led by Arch-Corsair Vidar Trask has failed to gain control of the Kumo Crew syndicate.
Vox Galactica featured a report by freelance correspondent Karleen Troy:
“As might be expected, it’s hard to obtain official data when conflict breaks out within a criminal organisation. But all the information I’ve gathered points to the same conclusion: Vidar Trask’s coup attempt has failed.”
“What is surprising, however, is how close he initially came to dethroning Archon Delaine. The Kumo Crew were almost overwhelmed by the sheer number of fighters following Trask’s banner. I’m told that nearly half of the rebelling forces have yet to be identified, and are suspected to be mercenaries.”
“A second mystery is that Arch-Corsair Kay Volantyne, another senior member of the Kumo Council, has been declared missing. The Pegasi Sentinel newsfeed believes that she was killed by Trask personally. The newest inner circle member, Callan Salamanca, is leading Delaine’s counter-attack against the insurrectionists.”
“Most of the surviving rebels have now retreated to HIP 10792 and are attempting to drive out the Kumo Council faction in that system. Eyewitness reports regarding the ongoing firefights suggest that Delaine is in no mood to forgive his would-be usurpers.”
In other good news Kumo Burger will have new items on the menu shortly.
 
FDEV - I have one task.

Please, kill this Delaine on one occasion (by for example from a hands of anarchy assassin) without regretting (since I see, that this news was been written "by force", only to leave Delaine alive). Don't afraid any consequence of doing it and eventually changing power leader.
Or even please, add twelfth Powerplay leader, which will be Arch-Corsair Vidar Trask himself (with his terrain of course).
 
FDev really likes to tease a story and then drop it like a carton of eggs.
"Oh you thought we introduced Vidar Trask to maybe mix things up and possibly change Kumo leadership to a new face?
Nah! He's been defeated . . . so anyway..."
 
Where did they say that :D ...in that case I'd be for Trask as well :p
Wishful thinking on my part, mostly because I'm supporting an anarchy faction which borders on Kumo territory (not my fault, they got two new control systems last year).

Also, I was expecting there to be a PP character which would favour them in the first place.

Haha, I'm not surprised about first part. I have also same situation, as you (in both cases).

About second part, I wish, that this will be true, so this could give me a reason to change current PP.
 
War for Kumo leadership.
Side with the Rebels : the megaship is 5000ly from the star. With a single pad (small). You get nothing no matter what.
Side with the Archon : the station is 10ly from the star and it's a coriolis. You get a double engineered prismatic shield for each 25% (reinforced + thermal resist). If he wins, you can't get any notoriety or bounty on you for a week.

Fdev : "see, powerplay is not as fixed as people say, we took a real risk right there !" and "overwhelming support for Delaine !".


Don't worry, I'm joking, they'll never take the risk. He will already have lost as the news seems to indicate and we'll probably try to capture him or something.
