Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Cycle 381: Wine and Fish

(September 15th to 22nd, 2022/3308)

We are gladdened indeed by Galnet’s generosity in featuring Aisling Duval not once but twice over the week. A boring slow-news-day had Aisling wondering whether the Empire ought to work with other powers against the ‘Goids, a further bulletin revealed that the Princess is to host another CG. Certain foods and rare goods are to be delivered to Cemeiss, AD’s home system in lore but outside our powerplay space, for cash and paint-jobs. Next week should be quite the party.

Back in the real world of the player-driven narrative, resolutely ignored by the MSM, we enjoyed a couple of notable BGS wins at war in Khepehueno and Tarup. We also helped to block Federal expansions by Hudson in Polecteri and Winters in Diegakul. Feds didn’t push hard, preferring to focus on opposing Grom in Kwakwakwal and Granny Torval in LHS 184. Imperial beefcake D-Patreus made no serious bid for Caph. No changes to the map this week, most powers consolidated.

Aisling’s haulers put in another impressive shift, for a third week running progressing to our lower priority forting targets. Federal enthusiasts undermined Areklici, but nowhere else. We were spooked again by the vote. Most unusually, it did not climb into the safety zone until Monday, but finished at 78% consolidation. We had again called for Cmdrs to prep haul to HIP 35209 as a precaution, which soon proved unnecessary. Voting is the easiest and most powerful way to help. If you have been pledged 4 weeks or more, please earn or keep at least 100 merits so you can vote. Help us sleep better, and worry less.

Many thanks for your efforts over the cycle, people of the Princess! We must keep up our guard, Winters has already shown intent in her latest bid for Dongkum, Hudson looks to expand a nasty weapon in HIP 95350. Independently of the CG and all being well, we hope to be celebrating a special anniversary next week. Have fun out there.

Objectives for the week ahead, Cycle 382 (until September 29th)
  • 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 Zachary Hudson’s expansion to HIP 95350 and Felicia Winters’ expansion to Dongkum.
  • 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.
