Powerplay Cannot turn in weird trade dividend or wipe entry

[g0oglyeyes]

As a CMDR pledged to Aisling, I somehow ended up with a paltry claim of "938 CR TEAM TRADE BY DENTON PATREUS". I assume it has something to do with me blowing up power NPCs. Is there a way to get rid of this?

No clue how, but I got one of those too (I'm pledged LYR), and I was going to go Denton space to see if I could cash it, but then I managed to actually lose a ship and I can confirm that will get rid of it.

It's in some way tied to the Christmas delivery event. Maybe the result of one being in Patreus space but I haven't checked if one of the locations you're sent to is in fact there.

Certain powers (Patreus, Grom, maybe others) give passive trade dividends in their space even to unpledged and enemy commanders. Since the change of interface for PP2, I'm not sure these passive effects are officially documented anywhere.

You need to return to their space to cash it in via the Admin contact.

Yes, I got the same thing recently and I wasn't even pledged to any power! Now it makes sense.

So the intended way to get rid of it would be to briefly sign up with Patreus and claim it via his PC?

No need to sign up - just go to any Patreus-controlled system and visit the Admin Contact.
(Also works if you're signed up to someone else already)

I hadn’t noticed it before this or another thread this was mentioned, I think, but happened to be in-game at the time I read it and decided to check if I had one of these as well. Sure enough…

… and knowing that I had only done “trading” within the Bubble recently by selling those ‘Festive Gifts’, it wasn’t much to make the connection.

I seem to have them too. Good to know.
