Federal President-Elect Felicia Winters threw everything at her Malgariji expansion, leading to an epic Powerplay battle. Her supporters have been reinvigorated lately, they hauled more than 800k merits whilst maintaining a near constant watch over the NAV beacon to chase off Imperial pilots.
But to the surprise of many ZYADA built a bomb large enough - just how big must remain confidential - to snatch victory at the last. It was a very close-run contest. Among many others, heavy-hitting pilots from Aisling Wing Command and Aisling’s Angels posted noteworthy contributions. GG.
We understand how this defeat must feel, thinking back to Aasgay and Mbambiva. Making matters worse for the Federation was Granny Torval’s intervention to prep-race for Dongkum. This denied Winters her planned move for C443 and has spared us from having to oppose a double expansion. All this while Zemina was announcing her planned retirement in Galnet and hosting a mining Community Goal in LHS 3872!
However, Hudson has favourable triggers now in Yemotepa. We will have another major struggle on our hands as he pushes there. Federal combat merits were gained against Uncle Yuri Grom in Pethes and Emperor Arissa, for a change, in Antliae Sector RD-T B3-3. Parties unknown cancelled Pranav Antal’s Chamal.
Aisling’s vote appears to be under attack, falling to 79% consolidation. Please remember to keep or earn at least 100 merits so you can vote. 5C attacks focused on forcing us to expand HIP 1572 remain a perennial threat. The Princess is grateful also to haulers who completed the fortification of her top priority spheres and others including Aowica and Hotototo.
Congratulations: a massive win, Cmdrs. Thanks to all who won combat merits, ran PVP cover, distracted Federal pilots, hauled fort merits and also those engaged in the - perhaps - less glamorous gameplay of keeping our BGS together. Have fun out there.
Objectives for Cycle 443 (until November 30th)

Objectives for Cycle 443 (until November 30th)
- 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.
- Please do not prepare any systems this week. Spare media materials can be safely delivered to HIP 35209.
- Combat merits: oppose Zachary Hudson’s expansion to Yemotepa.
- AX: Imperial Xeno Defence targets this cycle are to defeat the alerts in HIP 18075 and Mahlina. The priority counterstrike target is the spire system Col 285 Sector SX-Z b14-0.
- Join the Discord for guides, mentoring, BGS, PVP and insight. Remember: PP UI bad, Discord good. Powerplay is a community game, so connect with us.
