Ahoy Crew!
The good news always first: it was a decidedly intense Cycle, the activity on the various frontlines undoubtedly required effort and commitment from everyone (all pledges). The most hotly contested acquisition involved LTT 198, a permit locked system historically belonging to granny Torval and her mining minions. The battle for its take has continued throughout the Cycle… several engagements against enemy CMDRs were reported, and the Murderhobos have fought until the final hour to secure victory!
Another trophy for Archon Delaine's throne!
On the acquisitions side, also 241 G. Aquarii (contested by the hippie Antal) was taken by the Crew. Furthermore, two more systems were added in order to secure the area around the new Delaine's stronghold (Itzamnets). The Imperium forces nearby captured Hyldekagati and Ovimbiabas. Elsewhere, the contested CH Aquilae was relinquished to the bear Grom as the pirates closed [just] 30k CPs short and the bear also entered in Gendenwitha.

As for the other powers, the leaderboard is unchanged... the area around Sol continues to be quite contested after and the shadow president Jerome Archer has forcibly taken back Barnard's Star, previously ended up in the clutches of the Imperials. Violent clashes have also finally occurred between Federation and Alliance forces in Aasgaa, where the gypsy Kaine is fighting for control.
Before closing, a (
This last week has certainly brought major challenges for the new organization, both internally and externally. Change always goes through some phases... hence at the beginning chaos and fear for spoil everything prevailed (pirates are pirates, after all) but the victory at LTT 198 represents an excellent sign that the new organization is working for the benefit of Archon Delaine (then what happens in the Discords, stays in the Discords).
FOR THE ARCHON!!!
