Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Cycle 450: Wacky Races (January 11th to 18th 2024/3310)

Outgoing Federation President Zach Hudson was determined to win the now regular Wednesday night prep-race against Granny Torval. Desperate to throw his Salhualasta weapon against Yuri Grom, his 59k merits outpaced the Torvalians’ effort towards the overlapping location HR 7079.

Sadly for him, Hudson stumbled crossing the finish line. Though he’d fortified a respectable 38/53 control systems, somehow the very profitable 16 Cygni was missed. This system is in turmoil as C451 begins.

Winters’ perennial target Dongkum was a sideshow easily defeated this time. The Feds instead preferred to undermine Granny in Tau-1 Hydrae and LTT 12058, also Uncle Yuri in LHS 3677. Torval did not push last week’s prep race prize BD-17 6081.

Winters prepped Chang O again, which could see a serious effort in C451 to draw some fire away from Hudson. Imperial beefcake Denton Patreus’ vote fell short, so his blocker Caph is in expansion again for him.

Other powers consolidated, with Aisling’s vote hitting the heights of 90% for the first time in a year. A solid hauling effort saw top priority control systems all fortified, and others including Ts’ai Shai, Aowica, and HIP 109468.

BGS saw another week of fire-fighting in Aisling’s space. We can savour victories at war in Gommatchal and Knumclaw. Intense PVP battles were reported in Tchernobog in Winters’ Karnarki sphere as ZYADA pilots assisted Imperial feudalists Cerberus to a win.

The Princess is sincerely grateful to all contributors. 3310 is getting interesting. Have fun out there.


Objectives for Cycle 450 (until January 18th)
  • 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: oppose Felicia Winters’ expansion to Chang O.
  • AX: Imperial Xeno Defence targets this cycle are to defeat the alerts in Yan Zangata, Hez Ur and Arietis Sector KM-W d1-94. Active invasions include HIP 30158, Vogulu, HIP 19157, and Kurumanit.
  • 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.
