Priorities for 23rd of Mars
This post will be updated daily between 17th of Mars to 23rd of Mars, usually at around 07-09 UCT or 20-22 UCT and increasing in frequency closer to the end of the cycle.
Previous Cycle Debrief
Cycle 41 was a historical cycle for Zemina Torval and in powerplay.
The prediction for Torval was that "It is more than likely Torval will either lose the expansion at Gacrux, or be put into Turmoil, which will allow another prep war for the bubble next week."
We did the impossible. We ended the cycle with Gacrux added to our portfolio, thus ensuring its future as a granny state. Our push begun at 18:00 UCT on Tuesday, covering almost two days of non-stop and one all-nighter sinking credits into it. At one point it look like we had lost the system when opposers cashed in, but at the server tick a bit over 2 billion, 200.000 merits had been put in. About 2600% vs 2300%. The other system, Ch'iang Fei, was lost, but always seen as a sacrificial lamb due to it's potential contest with ALD.
We also ended the cycle with a 393 surplus, having fortified over 60% of our systems overall, over a double our regular plan, as well as one decent preparation in the form of Hsuanqueno.
I think it is time to return to fortifying the essentials, put on the hawaii shirts, sunglasses and soak up the new sun Gacrux. A testament to what Torval can do that probably wont be forgotten in Powerplay History.

Here the Torval Strategy Team present daily strategies for coordinated efforts to support Zemina Torval.
The Torval Community has several resources available for players who are interested. If you are dedicated to Zemina Torval we would like to hear from you and make sure you got access to our boards. Please post us a private message in which you include (1) your e-mail address and (2) a screenshot of your right-side monitor to see your commander name and that you are pledged to Zemina Torval. To give the screenshot to us you can use an image website such as postimg.org or imgur to upload your screenshot so you can send us the link together with your e-mail.
If you are new to powerplay, please read our guide or What you can do here.
Understanding the mechanics of powerplay is vital to Torval being successful and so the guidance posted here represents what we believe to be the best course of action for our community to undertake. However, it is the contribution and efforts, no matter how small that make Torval a success story. Thank you!
Status Update - Updated 16:30 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)
Fortification is the meaning of life this week. Yesterday I made an error. 63 G. Capricorni is not an expansion target. Do not expand to that system. Apologies to the Diamond Frogs. Poor excuse, but it was picked from a computer calculation while in very strong tunnel vision.
Do not forget to put in your nominations today.
Fortification Plan
Each week we fortify our preferred high value systems. We aim to complete fortification of these systems each week.
Ignore "Under Threat" - we want large haulers (> 400) to always focus on systems with the lowest % and smaller vessels (< 200) should focus on systems with the highest %.
Early in the cycle we try to spread the fortification, with some extra focus on systems with a high LY distance from Synteini.
From Tuesday onwards, all our commanders regardless of ship capacity should focus on completing system fortifications based on their Value.

Avoid fortifying systems not on this list.
Expansion Plan
These are systems we plan to expand to.
Avoid expanding systems not on this list.
Preparation Plan
Save nomination points to the end of the week. We use them on Wednesday.
Fly safe Cmdrs!
