Aisling dropped from 1st place to 5th in the rankings on account of our Dongkum feint. Wild preps are rewarded, failed expansions get penalised. No matter, C446 saw an awesome fortification effort from regular, returning, and newly joined Cmdrs. The full Trello board was completed well before EOC, including the M-pad only Conii and the stretch target Zeta Trianguli Australis.
As ever, tens of thousands of 5C merits were delivered fruitlessly to HIP 1572 and also to the novel unwanted destination Gandillava. Neither these nor undermining attacks against our Perktomen and Areklici spheres had any impact with our consolidation vote strong at 87%. Heartfelt thanks from the Princess to all contributors.
ZYADA combat pilots kept on top of hostile expansion attempts. Hudson was thwarted in his bid for BD-17 6081, as was Winters in HIP 39908. The cancellation of Uncle Yuri’s newly-acquired Yemotepa indicated Federal frustrations. Unknown parties also cancelled Hudson’s Ptah sphere. No CC changed hands.
Hudson wants Abukunin for Christmas, and Winters the mildly profitable Chang O. We will be seeking to deny them these gifts. But the main threat seems Winters’ BGS activity in the Malgariji area, as she attempts to regain favourable triggers for this long-term objective. Please support our BGS counter-play if you can.
As week 57 of the AX war begins, Imperial Xeno Defence issued a call for assistance. Thargoids have taken advantage of the holiday season to make advances in systems associated with Indra, Oya, Thor, Raijin and our most local maelstrom, Hadad. Pilots are invited “to try some of the non-combat-focused activities like refugee evacuation missions, cargo hauling, or reactivating settlements in our retaken systems.”
In other news, FDev has swiftly resolved a concerning bug. Powerplay modules including prismatic shields could not be purchased for a few days, even in a rebuy, and Tech Brokers were also not working. No news whether action has been taken against a mamba pilot/hacker employing a thargoid shutdown field spotted in Jotunheim. Meanwhile, have fun and fly safe. Happy Christmas.
Objectives for Cycle 447 (until December 28th)

Objectives for Cycle 447 (until December 28th)
- 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 Na Chac Og.
- Combat merits: the primary target is to oppose Felicia Winters’ expansion to Chang O. You can also gain merits opposing Zachary Hudson in Abukunin.
- AX: Imperial Xeno Defence targets this cycle are to defeat the alerts in Vistnero and HIP 116360. There are active invasions in Chinas, Obamumbo and Mahlina. The priority counterstrike target remains the spire system Col 285 Sector SX-Z b14-0. A secondary counterstrike target is Vasupari.
- 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.
- Aisling Duval powerplay is committed to the ZYADA alliance: Zemina Torval, Yuri Grom, Arissa Lavigny-Duval, Denton Patreus, Aisling Duval.
