Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Cycle 409: Tougher to Stay There Than Get Up There (March 30th to April 6th 2023/3309)

We don’t normally care much for the Powerplay rankings but finishing C409 at #1 is something to savour, a rare event. For the first time since November 3307 Aisling wants to expand. Careful control of our vote and a blitz of media materials pushed Igores ahead of the long-standing 5C bots in HIP 1572 and the new trap Timbarichs. We’ll need to take care of forting before we start moving sealed contracts for this project, last week the Trello was completed in double quick time. Many thanks to all contributors.

Congratulations also to our ally Yuri Grom who won Wadir against determined opposition. Winters made no serious effort to take Caspatsuria. C410 promises to be exciting with a blizzard of other expansion attempts, some familiar and some novel. Hudson goes again for Selgeth, Winters moves on Wanjan. Granny Torval has LTT 9810 in her sights, Uncle Yuri targets Futhorc. It looks like Pranav Antal’s consolidation vote failed, he will again want to avoid prevailing in Unjangen.

We are delighted to report the resolution of a dispute between loyal squadrons over the ownership of Ienpalang. The Royal Colonial Guard has agreed to join the Signum Initiative alongside 1st Galactic Line of Defence, the Void Walkers, Nexus Heavy Industries and House Chanter Imperialis to keep the peace in Aisling’s space. It was another successful cycle for Imperial Xeno Defence. Thargoid invasions in Muruidooges and H Puppis were defeated, as were alerts in Ramandji and HIP 30260.

Let’s keep up the momentum in the coming cycle, there’s plenty to do! Experience suggests AD expansions can attract CG levels of attention. Good luck out there.


Objectives for Cycle 410 (until April 13th)
  • 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.
  • Support the expansion to Igores by taking sealed contracts from there to any Aisling Duval control system. Nearest is Zhao.
  • 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 Wanjan. A secondary target is to oppose Zachary Hudson’s expansion to Selgeth.
  • AX: Imperial Xeno Defence targets this cycle are to defeat the invasion of HIP 28150 and alerts in Neites and Bi Dhorora. 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.
