Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Cycle 411: Hurry Up Harry (April 13th to 20th 2023/3309)

Another epic hauling shift from the people of the Princess saw the completion of priority fortification systems by Saturday, before a move to prepare Jotunheim for expansion. The large unshaven citizens of Celestial Light Brigade residing at Big Harry’s Monkey Hangout demand to be brought under Aisling’s protection, and who would argue with them? This is the most profitable expansion we have attempted since two failed bids for Mbambiva in 3306-7.

More than 300,000 tons of media materials were delivered to Jotunheim over the week, but we will have to far exceed that number in sealed contracts to defeat what is sure to be a determined Federal opposition and blockade. We have special Viking-themed discord reward roles available for the mighty haulers contributing to this campaign.

Other pledges, by accident or by design, did not get the memo that we did not want last week’s preparation feint, Zhu Baba. Huge gratitude to the red team and especially our friends from The Eyes of Leshak for comprehensively burying this sabotage effort. We were sweating over this, but by end of cycle 62k 5C merits were more than answered by 180k in (self-)opposition.

The expansion bug proves contagious. Winters has prepared three weapons with favourable triggers against the Empire. We will need to oppose U Carinae, Dechengh and Kamarida lest Felicia wrecks her own economy, and damages us in the process. The Federation will be hoping to get a profitable expansion through amid the mayhem. Yet again Winters tries for Dongkum. Hudson again goes for Selgeth.

For ZYADA, Uncle Yuri Grom will hope to win his latest push for Kwakwakwal whilst Granny Torval has prepared her own weapon, Bevan’s Hope. As Imperial Xeno Defence announce that “the AX community has all but halted the Xeno advance” it is all kicking off among the humans, encouraged by some of the primates. Good luck out there in the week ahead, and keep on trucking.


Objectives for Cycle 412 (until April 27th)
  • 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!
  • Expand to Jotunheim by hauling sealed contracts from there to any Aisling Duval control system. The nearest control systems are Munshin and Maityan.
  • 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.
  • Combat merits: we are spoiled for choice targets-wise. Oppose Felicia Winters’ expansions to Dongkum, U Carinae, Dechengh, and Kamarida. Oppose Zachary Hudson’s expansion to Selgeth.
  • AX: Imperial Xeno Defence targets this cycle are to defeat the alerts in HIP 21991 and HR 1812, and the invasion of Yan Zangata.
  • 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.
