In response to Hudson’s bid to expand Yemotepa, Yuri Grom walked out of the powers summit over at the Defence Council of Humanity. His emissary has not yet been persuaded to return. Federals offered various explanations. This sphere, right in the path of a xeno maelstrom, was to be an essential buttress against the ‘goids. But it turned out that Hudson’s pilots just missed those PP CZs and wanted something to do.
However ZYADA was also eager for some variety, and buried Hudson’s effort. As predicted, Imperial Beefcake Denton Patreus made no serious attempt for Caph, but the Federation took no risks with their opposition. Li Yong Rui emerged from turmoil and retained HR 1254. Parties unknown undermined the Winters spheres CD-73 12, HIP 48095 and Lei Kax.
There is an emerging consensus that the Powerplay truce actually ended in Cycle 402, any suggestion to the contrary is scandalous misinformation to make the Feds look bad. This week Hudson revives his campaign for Polecteri. Winters likewise goes for Caspatsuria. Patreus’ vote failed again. He says he won’t push another prep-blocker, Chemaku. Uncle Yuri makes his umpteenth bid for Kwakwakwal.
Controversy erupted over a late prep of Dongkum by Granny Torval. Regular readers will recall this has long been coveted by Winters. It is a weapon into Hudson, costing him 7CC and potentially gaining the same for Torval. He has a friendly arrangement with Felicia, but Hudson doesn’t want Granny touching him there. This would be a “hostile act”. Granny’s reps seemed surprised. Something to do with old age?
With AX pilots mostly fighting in familiar systems as we seek a means of dealing with the maelstroms themselves, it was a quiet week for Aisling’s followers. Many thanks to those who fortified our top priority spheres, and kept our consolidation vote strong at 84%. Have fun out there in the week ahead.
Objectives for Cycle 405 (until March 16th)

Objectives for Cycle 405 (until March 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: Oppose Felicia Winters’ expansion to Caspatsuria and Zachary Hudson’s expansion to Polecteri.
- AX: the Imperial Xeno Defence target this cycle is to assist the liberation of HIP 29596. Evacuate passengers in cabins and wounded in pods, complete delivery missions, kill thargoids, complete AX CZs and hand in the bonds.
- 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.
