Kaine's Reach: A Swords of Makhai Update
(PP2.0 Cycle 21)
This week sees MAKH fortify their first colonised system in the name of the Lime Green Queen! This strategically placed colony will serve as a base of operations with many of their other systems now within acquisition range.
Their supported minor faction's colonisation strategy seems to have had a Nakato Kaine focus, with a Nobles of Dagr system recently popping up a mere 18 light years from Tionisla. Reportedly, the system claim was originally administered by the Alliance Rapid Reaction Corps. A member of MAKH's Kaine strike team, Vorpal Wing, commented:
"Since they're also Kaine supporters we have good relations with ARRC. And when Brewer launched their initiative a few weeks back, we knew they'd need to quickly claim on our behalf if we were to have any chance of setting up near Tionisla."
ARRC have since peacefully ceded control of the system. The subsequent military outpost of Vorpal Garrison will serve as an important tactical relay for MAKH, who now have a foothold in the Tionisla sphere.
However, some believe this is a smokescreen to detract attention from Vorpal Wing's actual primary objective. It is said that their operatives are acquiring in the direction of a potentially lucrative system. Although MAKH deny these rumours, station logs prove they have been dispatching long distance mining prospectors lately. Regardless, the coordinates for this system of interest remain a mystery.
Also this week, we asked a member of MAKH leadership what they thought about AXI's colonisation efforts in the Pleiades being publicly criticised:
"We acknowledge Councillor Kaine's position on kicking the hornet's nest where the Bugs are concerned. We all saw what Mahon and Sirius did out in the Coalsack. But AXI can do what they want as far as we're concerned. Without them...hell we might still be fighting that damn war. Let's focus on things closer to home - like keeping LYR in check!"
Finally, congratulations are in order for Vorpal CMDRs CertifiedPyro and Arken Ventus for placing 3rd and 10th on the Kaine leaderboard respectively.

Greetings CMDRs!
I’d just like to take this time to welcome any Kaine Squadrons or Individuals to our Discord server for coordinated powerplay operations.
We try to encourage a friendly, collaborative, and most importantly ACTIVE environment for all Kaine agents to participate in! Whether you contribute 1 merit or a million, we would love to have you aboard.
We are globally based, so you'll have someone to run ops with 24/7, I promise you that. We run regular events, provide frequent, transparent goals and have many experienced operators to help teach you the intricacies of powerplay.
We’ve accomplished our initial goal of moving Kaine to our BGS space, and now we are hoping to acquire systems for the Senator en masse. Our main focus is to extend Kaine’s reach across the galaxy, and we currently have no hostilities with other powers.
If this kind of environment interests you, come give us a look!
All that is required is a Kaine pledge.
