Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Cycle 407: Spring Cleaning (March 16th to 23rd 2023/3309)

Our first cycle in turmoil for more than four years was a success. We took the unusual step of withdrawing all public fortification targets, to study what the many non-organised Aisling pledges (and 5C deprived of their usual prep target) would do when bombarded by pleas for help each time they logged in.

Dynamic moves late in the cycle ensured enough fortification and undermining was performed to achieve our objectives. Aisling scrapped all eight turmoiled systems: Grovichun, Gabjaujis, LHS 4031, Kaukamal, Ch’eng, Guuguyni, Ienpalang, and Wonomi. This gains around 220CC. We are reduced to 69 spheres, with some room for manoeuvre.

We remain in turmoil this week, but only Asurasairu is threatened. This former Edmund Mahon territory is our most recent acquisition, a cool place we do not intend to lose. It isn’t profitable, but is worth more to the Federation than it is to us. So we ask for an extra effort this week as we relaunch public forting targets.

In the week that Fdev announced that he would be leaving the Presidency (but not necessarily Powerplay) ZYADA retained sufficient capacity to deny Zachary Hudson his expansion to Selgeth. Only Felicia Winters has an expansion this week, looking again to peg Hudson for 7CC with the long-coveted Dongkum. We expect a big push.

Aisling is grateful to all contributors; in particular the inner circle of planners who maintained spreadsheet mastery and the utmost secrecy throughout the scrap, and those frustrated red-teamers who were ordered to not turn in their hard-won combat merits. Celebrate, and have fun out there in the week ahead.


Objectives for Cycle 408 (until March 30th)
  • It is not possible to vote or to prepare systems whilst Aisling Duval remains in turmoil.
  • 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.
  • Combat merits: Oppose Felicia Winters’ expansion to Dongkum.
  • AX: the Imperial Xeno Defence target this cycle is to assist the liberation of Muruidooges. 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.
 
Currently slugging it out in Muruidooges. Based at Emshwiller Hub. Most time on-line will be evening eastern US time (this is why I haven't been on the Slack channels for a while. Been chasing them since they were stargoids).

Didn't an Aisling friendly Independent squadron just invade Ienpalang to remove the local Imperial group there from power?

Checking inara, it does look like the system was recently taken from the Devenport Corporation by the Guard of Outer Imperial Colonies who are controlled by the Royal Colonial Guard [TRCG] squadron. I cannot answer for them, especially as this system is now outside Aisling Duval powerplay space. Turf wars between Imperial groups do occur. Aisling Duval powerplay does not and cannot control all associated factions and squads. If this is an issue of concern to you, I suggest you contact them directly. The bottom line is that the bubble is pretty full now and factions playing the BGS can in many cases only expand by displacing others.
