We now cross live to mass celebrations at Dagr's Rest in the Nessa system, where the Swords of Makhai have been partying through the night. By the official Pilot's Federation statistical metric, Makhai have taken out gold in the "Powerplay" leaderboard for Nakato Kaine, dethroning the FLC with a concentrated late push over the last 48 hours. Once 1st place was in their sights, an all squadron call-out for any able and willing to assist was issued.
An impromptu mining 'rave' in the Bhagui system was hastily organised with multiple wings of Commanders attending. Elsewhere... bounty hunters, bulk traders and settlement raiders all answered the call with combined efforts generating control points well into the hundreds of thousands. One Vorpal Wing operative, CMDR Lionheart reportedly acquired the Palee system as a last minute special assignment, working entirely alone.
Such dedication is evident on the operative leaderboard for this cycle also. The afore mentioned CMDR Lionheart placing 6th, Vorpal Wing Leader CertifiedPyro at 10th and legendary veteran CMDR Currahee at 5th place.
Leader of Makhai, CMDR Straytaker, released this statement to the joint media:
"A frickin' colossal effort over these last few days and my thanks goes to all who contributed. When was the last time an Alliance squadron won this board? I have no clue but I'll tell you one thing - it would have been the other shade of green! We're super proud that a group pledged to the Lime Green Queen is taking home the top prize."
In what may be the most successful cycle ever for Kaine (with S+1, F+2, E+7) this shock result somewhat overshadowed the equally significant news that both Makhai and Elite Kaine have announced a new era of unity. Whereas recent months witnessed a mutual distancing between the 2 groups, we now understand that diplomatic talks had been recently carried out at a private summit over several days. Straytaker continued:
"It's true that we have cleared the air. It's time we put our past differences aside, work together and redefine this power as a force to be reckoned with!"
It remains to be seen how responsibilities will be shared between these 2 powerbases, with Elite Kaine coordinating out of the Old Worlds and Makhai themselves residing on the border of Archer and Grom space. One thing is clear however... rival powers should be reassessing how much of a threat a unified Kaine might become moving forward.
