Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Cycle 462: Whoosh (April 4th to 11th 2024/3310)

Felicia Winters pursued her expansion attempt to Chang O. It took last minute merit drops from ZYADA pilots to stop her. Meanwhile Granny Torval launched a late prep race for Yaroi that denied Winters the chance to expand Vistsi in the coming cycle. Hudson prepped first Cu Cancri, then Sahualasta, but in the end voted to consolidate.

So, C463 is another week with no Federal expansions to oppose. Our Princess’ own consolidation vote was more secure at 83%. Fortification targets were completed as far as Duryampas, Hotototo, and Kurichime. Panic dragon was chill. We are always grateful to all voters and haulers.

Federal undermining against Uncle Yuri Grom continued with attacks against Dhanchu, Maramavoy, Muncheim and Pethes. In return, Winters was undermined in Lei Kax and LPM 229. The only economic change was +2CC returned to Li Yong Rui owing to AX activity.

Our BGS contingent has two victories at war to report. In Maipuna the fortification bonus for the HIP 97196 sphere was successfully defended. Victory for lost legion in Zeaex strengthened Aisling’s hold on Zeta Trianguli Australis.

The new overcharged Frame Shift Drive introduced in update 18.02 was not to everyone’s liking. Experimenting pilots experienced instability, overheating, and ran out of fuel. Engineers were nonplussed, unable to recognise the new module.

This prototype tech is currently suited to occasional boosts out of gravity wells, not yet an easy way to traverse long supercruise systems. But, the dragon wants you to know that they like it.


Objectives for Cycle 463 (until April 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 HIP 35209.
  • Combat merits: there is no Federal expansion to oppose this week. If you are currently module shopping or pledged to a non-Imperial power you can oppose Torval’s expansion to Yaroi.
  • AX: Imperial Xeno Defence targets this cycle are to focus on weakening Oya and defending Imperial space. To combat Oya, kill orthrus and sabotage the spires at Cephei Sector XO-A b3. There is an alert for Hadad maelstrom in Col 285 Sector GQ-O c6-22, and invasions in Putas and Vogulu.
  • Join the Discord for guides, mentoring, BGS, PVP and insight. 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.
