Dispatch from the Kamadhenu Herald
3 September 3301
Our beloved Emperor's funeral is today. May he rest in peace.
Spokespeople for the Imperial Internal Security Service have successfully collected over half a million exploration surveys and have successfully uncovered 5 rebel cells related to Emperor's Dawn. Combat pilots throughout the Empire wait to hear more news. It appears that the Kumo Crew has successfully expanded Delaine's influence into Badjarans, near Federation space. They have two active expansion attempts, but resistance pockets are forming in 77 Aquarii and Wolf 1148 as we go to press. Their success is frustrating Imperial efforts to capture Archon Delaine. Only Sirius Gov remains in Turmoil.
Now, that galactic news has been handled, matters closer to home can be addressed. Once again, pilots sworn to Senator Lavigny-Duval have performed exceptionally. While expansion into HIP 15887 was successful, Research is pleased with the change in resource allocation. Precision targets might be difficult for space trucking logistics, but the week has ended with enough of a surplus to prepare at least one solid system for expansion. And thanks to the gargantuan efforts last week, the systems of LTT 2667 and CD-49 3617 are ready for expansion. Crime Sweeps should be forming now.
Preparation:
Tutorial can be found here.
The Senator has 221cc available, so hopefully only one system will make the list. Research has supplied a list of five worthwhile candidates for preparation. Unfortunately, all but one of them are restricted to medium landing pads, so it will require focus to propel one system beyond a good trade route.
Please, hold your nominations until one of them gains a solid lead. Cerni is the only one with a large landing pad, so it will likely be the quickest to rise to the top. Let's hope that one of them appeals to those pilots who care more about their pocket books and merit badges than their service to the Senator.
Update: Sirius leadership has voiced their distaste for our Expansion into Af Leporis through diplomatic channels. Sirius Gov lost control of Af Leporis either last week or the week before. The original system exchange with Sirius (Sietae/Heverduduna) is what allows us to have 15% discounted ships and outfitting in Heverduduna and its surrounding sphere, so it is a relationship to preserve. Last time I checked, the lead in Af Leporis was fairly insurmountable. That said, there does not appear to be a good reason to continue preparing it, unless we see a deficit-causing system rise up to overtake it. Thank you again for all your hard work CMDRs.
Expansion:
Tutorial can be found here.
Thanks to the intrepid efforts of investigators and space truckers, the Senator is expanding her influence into two solid systems this week: LTT 2667 and CD-49 3617. Both of these are near Winters territory, so expect heavy opposition here. We have consistently had impressive showings at Crime Sweeps, and if that continues, there should be nothing to worry about.
Fortification:
Tutorial can be found here.
The fortification spreadsheet remains up to date and effective at predicting surpluses and deficits. As always, systems are ordered by Radius Income actually awarded, which differs at times from Universal Cartographics' GalNet readouts, so if you're searching for priorities, start at the top and work your way down. The color coded key should inform you of status.
Not much has been heard from the Imperial Logistics Corps, but every pilot should be back on the Fortification bandwagon. Hopefully, they will become more active as we see more hostile activity. There is no target surplus this week, so fortify like mad if you so choose. Again, Research claims the best benefit is to start at the top and prioritize those profit-making systems which are undermined before anything else.
Undermining:
Tutorial can be found here.
Reports from Lavigny's Legion, OCI, The White Templars, and Imperial High Command claim that many of this week's undermining efforts have been successful.
The anti-pirate action dubbed 'the Pegasi War' slogs on, with the Kumo Crew successfully overpowering resistance in Badjarans. Currently, they are expanding into the Imperial system of 77 Aquarii. If successful, they will capture the resistance and brand them as marked slaves for transport back to Harma. This affront to the Empire cannot be tolerated. Join a resistance pocket today!
Update: IHC has posted its Cycle 14 Pegasi Pirate War priorities.
IHC appears to be focusing on undermining both Hudson, Delaine, and possibly Winters, too. At this moment, the Herald cannot reach the Commanders for comment on any tactical plan for this week. However, based on earlier statements, opposing the Expansion in 77 Aquarii is likely their number one priority for undermining and opposition.
Operation SCRAP continues as the combat arm of diplomatic outreach, though no target has been announced.
Inquisition:
The Kamadhenu Chapterhouse of Inquisition has been busy this week. Operation Fortitude successfully raised patronage influence in Biliri.
As always, check the Chapterhouse Lantern for current conflicts whose outcomes could benefit the Senator's cause.

Good luck and Godspeed, commanders.

- Cerni - 106 income, 31 upkeep, 101 Ly from Kamadhenu, large pad, close to Xinca and Ida Dhor.
- Choenpetese - 130 income, 31 upkeep, 100 Ly, medium pad, close to Ida Dhor and Pancienses.
- Gunwi - 114 income, 31 upkeep, 105 ly, medium pad, Ida Dhor and HIP 35246 might be closest control systems.
Af leporis - 133 income, 32 upkeep, 105 ly, medium pad, close to Binjia.- Djen - 94 income, 26 upkeep, 72 ly, medium pad, close to Igal.
