A tale of a star system

This tale starts off around 4 years ago.

A console commander, heavily involved in ALD's powerplay decisions, suggested a small system called Waras to expand the superpower in to. The suggestion was accepted and this is where our story starts.

The superpower successfully expanded into this small, backwater system two weeks later. As part of that expansion, the systems fortification requirements needed to be lowered through work on the BGS.

Waras had no player group to do this. The ALD commander volunteered to take on this lengthy task. In time, other commanders joined the cause. Eventually, a small but dedicated player group was carefully balancing over a dozen systems strategically.

After a long wait, our group was added into the game.

We took over systems for trade, we gained mining systems for bounties and we looked after these systems diligently for years. We successfully reduced the fortification requirements for the system, making life easier for all commanders.

Each move calculated. Each system hard won. New enemies, new friends.

And then the console commanders could do no more as their galaxy became ununified with other commanders.

This week, Waras is on ALD's turmoil list on console. Keeping this system the same will be completely unsustainable for our small player group who only play on console. It's a losing battle on a game where our time isn't valued any more.

Four years plus of our good work may soon be gone. A dozen people and thousands of hours.

This is the story of Empires Twilight, custodians of Waras and all her surrounding systems. Our dedication was complete for as long as our galaxies were one.

Let history show we blazed our own trail and our star burned bright.

We did our best.

Empire's Twilight, signing out.

Indeed it was separated, but that doesnt mean you cannot support your faction/system/superpower.
It only means you need to coordinate efforts only with other console players (or pc players playing in legacy only).

The balance of power will re-adjust based on how many players still play in Legacy.
And this change will affect not only the console players (which have no other choice than Legacy) but the PC players that are playing in Legacy (even tho they have the option of playing in Live)

I would assume many powers will get into turmoil if their systems are not supported due to low player numbers in Legacy

Powerplay has seen low player interaction for a good few years now anyway - I know this through being part of the "leadership" groups for both ALD and DP.

This pretty much ends it on console. It was a hard sell years ago.
 
Empire's Twilight? the name seems appropriate and timely. ALD has been turmoiling hard the last several weeks.

also, hey Commander! i've supported your PMF over the years as i've traveled through random Imperial Systems.

i still play on Xbox but don't do a lot of Power Play stuff. i'm in Lavigny's Legion but seem to be the only Xbox Commander in the Legion that regularly fires up the Thrusters.

currently, working in the Bunuson System just for fun and credits.
