With Zach Hudson still squatting in the White House, President-Elect Felicia Winters sought attention by Powerplay. She did not push her Buan Zha expansion, and her Lei Kax and LPM 229 spheres were undermined, but she prepared another full slate of expansions to keep us busy in the coming week: Bero, HIP 39528, HIP 58986 and the perennial Chang O.
For ZYADA, Granny Torval did not mind her Jinoharis failing. More disappointing was that she could not quite overcome Winters in a late prep race for HIP 58986. Attacks on Uncle Yuri Grom were limited to Pethes. With Imperial Xeno Defence and the broader AX community now focused on Titan Hadad, Emperor Arissa won back +4CC.
In a quieter week for Aisling, haulers still completed top priority fortifications plus others including Aowica, Ekono, Kurichime, and Hotototo. Our consolidation vote was solid at 86%. 5C hauling increased only very slightly, but remains an inhibiting factor we hope PP2.0 will quash. Perpetual BGS wars continued in the Malgariji area: Ailuremowo, Bach, HIP 33275, Taiocamu and Zememede.
The latest update saw steps to save starting players in EDO from being ganked on their first flight, though this stopped short of restoring the traditional starter zone of Dromi and Matet. Thanks are due to the Kumo Crew for bringing this issue, which cannot be good for player retention, to wider attention.
With their loss making expansion to HIP 97704 in Cycle 455, Chamberlain’s Rest in HIP 97950 was brought within the domains of Burger King Archon Delaine. Noobs would be well advised to not take a mission that returns them there. We are assured that the number of brave rank 5 Delaine pledges exploiting this source of fresh meat consequence-free is “incredibly low”.
The Princess thanks you, have fun out there.
Objectives for Cycle 469 (until May 23rd)

Objectives for Cycle 469 (until May 23rd)
- 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!

- Please do not prepare any systems this week. Spare media materials can be safely delivered to HIP 35209.
- Combat merits: oppose Felicia Winters’ expansions to Bero, HIP 39528, HIP 58986 and Chang O.
