Something bright and unusual is approaching the bubble from Oochorrs UF-J C11-0. Is it a thargoid megaship? The Far God itself? Just in case, holo-highway signs are in place to divert the anomaly from Aisling’s domains towards some nice Kumo Burger joints that hope to win galactic Michelin Guide stars. A further theory says this is simply a Galnet advert, emitted by some huge holo-projector. Is the MSM coming to steal from us our player-driven Powerplay and BGS narrative? The horror.
Regardless of this looming threat, normal politics continued in the normal way. Aisling’s pilots were prominent in opposing Federal expansions, Hudson's in HR 2776 was close, Winters’ weapon Hou Yangk less so. Expansions by our allies also failed, Granny Torval was denied again in LHS 184. Imperial beefcake Denton Patreus will have been content to not take Decima, a blocker in place of a worse system foisted upon him by sabotage.
Aisling’s haulers made a fine effort to get beyond the top-priority profitables to fortify locales including Ekono and Kaukhe by end of cycle. 5C hauling against us dropped by more than 50k to a more normal level, and our consolidation vote scraped through after a sweaty weekend at 79%. As ever: voting is the easiest and most powerful way to help. Please earn or keep at least 100 merits so you can vote next week.
In BGS, we saw some success in support of our beleaguered clients Paladins of Empathy. Attritional electoral warfare continues in HIP 116890 and elsewhere against the infestation of Likedeeler of Michel and Colonia. Lend a hand if you can in the week ahead. The Princess thanks you for your ongoing efforts in support of our cause and community. Have fun out there.
Objectives for the week ahead, Cycle 379 (until September 8th)

- Vote for Consolidation! Voting is the most important thing you can do for AD, so make sure to maintain rank 2! It only takes 100 merits and four weeks of pledge time. Here's where to vote in the UI. Early votes are the best kind of votes!
- Check the Trello for dynamic fortification targets! This is updated more frequently than the in-game menu. Please, ONLY fortify systems listed on the Trello. There are lots of top-priority systems left to help complete.
- Please do not prepare any systems this week. Spare media materials can be safely delivered to HIP 35209 or Na Chac Og.
- Combat merits: oppose Felicia Winters’ expansion to Panorua and Zachary Hudson’s to Caspatsuria.
- Join the Discord for guides, mentoring, BGS, insight and combat targets! Remember: PP UI bad, Discord good. Powerplay is a community game, so connect with us.
