Powerplay Faction: Felicia Winters Cycle 411: Whosoever holds this hammer...

[[VR] Bulbulunufus]

Cycle summary and priorities:

Last cycle was a quiet one, with no expansions being pushed. This week it's a little different. Grab the biggest rune-covered hammer you can find and jump into something shooty - we're going to the Jotunheim system! Aisling lost a little weight lately and is wasting no time trying to get big again in a more ripped way by making an attempt at this highly profitable system. We're going to be pushing hard to stop her.

It's an expansion so go as hard, and as long through the cycle, as you like. The system will be busy with CMDRs of both sides and there should be lots of fun to be had.

For quieter affairs, Torval's attempt at Bevan's Hope and Grom's try for Kwakwakwal also need opposing.

The Thargoids also never rest and have once again alerted systems of our lovable wheeler deeler Li Yong Rui. We're targeting HIP 20019 of his (in Indra cluster), but Jawul (in Raijin cluster) may get the favour of the wider community too - support there afterwards if that proves the case and progress picks up.


In the news:

Some tiff between a random Federal and Imperial pairing in a system of alleged logistical importance has spilled over into open conflict. Please control your aggression in this time of dire alien emergency, and avoid this petty conflict if you can. Direct it instead at one of our expansion opposition operations, where you can do some real damage.

Fortification:

Please do not Fortify any systems at this time. Priorities are ever changing and we cannot update publicly in a timely manner. Join the Discord if you want to help!


Expansion:

We're expanding to old favourite Dongkum this week (haul from LFT 601/LHS 1928). It's a profitable for us and we'd be grateful of any hauling you'd like to do there.


Undermining:

Opposing Aisling in Jotunheim is our main focus this week (convenient control to redeem: CD-73 12). Opposing Grom in Kwakwakwal (redeem at Lundji) and Torval in Bevan's Hope (redeem at Karnarki) are secondary objectives.
