Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Cycle 401: A Veil of Silence (February 2nd to 9th 2023/3309)

The truce held, for a second consecutive week. All powers consolidated, there are no new expansions to oppose in the week ahead. Last week’s lone expansion, Patreus’ unintended bid for Caph, was easily opposed by the Federation. Aisling’s combat pilots plinked away at Lei Kax, over-undermining it by Federal invitation. A veil of silence fell over the summit of the powers at the Defence Council of Humanity, until nervous moderators prodded Ambassadors into some cordial pleasantries to end the cycle.

In truth this truce is a more than slightly nebulous arrangement falling well short of a formal treaty. In these circumstances, it is as well that Aisling’s defences remain strong. Her magnificent pledged pilots again completed fortifying the whole Trello list of advantageous control systems. Aisling’s consolidation vote was strong at 87%. A big salute to all our loyal haulers and voters.

Under the currently frozen landscape of Powerplay lies the molten lava of BGS, with wars breaking out almost continually in Aisling’s space and in the contested no-man’s land beyond. We continue to fight to maintain favourable triggers in Aisling’s Chankates and Reieni spheres, and to oppose Federal efforts to prime Yemotepa for a future expansion. A new war in Gendini could prove as epic as the last.

What of the thargoid invasion that has brought the truce about? FDev will no longer reduce all incomplete conflicts to 0% progress each Thursday, which should help. But the xenos are still eating the populated bubble faster than humanity is beating them back.

The Princess thanks you. Let’s keep voting, keep hauling, win some wars, and shoot some aliens. Good luck out there in the week ahead.

Objectives for Cycle 402 (until February 16th)
  • 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.
  • Combat merits: by the terms of the Powerplay truce you can undermine Lei Kax. Please do not attack any other Federal systems.
  • BGS: in Gendini fight for Gendini Creative Co by winning Czs, completing CZ objectives, turning in combat bonds and bounties, and completing combat missions.
  • AX: Imperial Xeno Defence targets are to assist the liberation of Muruidooges and Bi Dhorora. Evacuate passengers in cabins and wounded in pods, kill thargoids, complete AX CZs.
  • 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.
