For many weeks a small but dedicated cadre of Cmdrs has been pushing at the edges of what is understood about the BGS. These experiments bore fruit at the start of C525. Though the 400t allocation lasted just two days the second great Soontill Relics boom in Ngurii turbocharged a successful week for Aisling (+27, 1593) and other hauling powers.
Understandably, many pilots took the chance to acquire their own colony systems. Gains with names included Banki, Caudji, Chono, Delphin, HIP 1299, HIP 1742, HIP 87968, Kats, Maker, Run, and Timocani. We must also acknowledge the less glamorous work to reinforce a large number of recent acquisitions to a safe position, which is less well rewarded in merits.
Aisling fortified five systems: HIP 1536, HIP 3254, HIP 61574, Ngeratha, and Synuefe YB-Z b47-2. We have three new strongholds in Callici, HIP 49094, and Sosong. This growth was matched by Li Yong Rui (+27, 973) and exceeded by Big Ed Mahon (+28, 1535), who very slightly trimmed the gap to second place.
FDev repaired the hidden hand affair more thoroughly. Fong Wang, Nuenets and v886 Centauri were restored as Grom (+11, 1074) strongholds. Skeggiko O and Bhil Mina returned as fortified systems. Aunty Arissa (-5, 1444) took a hit, acknowledged as fair in a rare public statement from the Emperor. Her additional loss of LHS 2435 and the return of the starter system HIP 97950 to Kumo Crew (+3, 668) confirmed these had also been targeted by the same devious player or group.
Just one anomaly remains, Lu Yupik. But rightful owner Granny Torval (+25, 568) had another excellent week regardless. In other news, players struggled to calculate the cargo capacity of the super-hauler Panther Clipper Mk2, to be released for ARX next month. The Princess fizzes with gratitude for your magnificent achievements. Have fun out there.

- Join the Discord for insight, mentoring, BGS, and PVP. Powerplay is a community game, so connect with us. It is not practicable to keep all public objectives up to date nor is it necessarily in our interest to reveal them all. Targets may change frequently.
- Reinforcement [1]: Push HIP 1536 to be a stronghold. Fortify Lwendecht, HIP 306, Arevat, Kunbure, Hernkopa and Core Sys Sector CB-O a6-0.
- Reinforcement [2] of recent acquisitions Col 285 Sector EG-L b22-5, Mu-1 Pavonis, Ceut, Col 285 Sector ZA-K b23-8, HIP 42539, Col 285 Sector CB-E c12-9, Ragana, Quilmes, Col 285 Sector WG-D a42-4, Puskas, ICZ QD-S b4-4, Shui Wei Sector RO-Q b5-4 (more targets available on the ADC discord.)
- Acquisition targets: Lu Di and Xionean are both close to done, HIP 117254. Wolf 289 will have PPCZs once we hit 30%.
- Undermining target: Lu Yupik because FDev did not fix it.
