The biggest headline of the week has been the continued expansion of Aegis Research. Despite a dozen capital ships lost to and thousands of escape pods abducted by Thargoid vessels, Alba Tesreau, the head of Aegis Research, seeks understanding the aliens and even hopes to reach 'some sort of truce' with them. Aegis Core continues to create, test, and sponsor offensives against the Thargoids, treating the aliens like some indigenous big game hunt that colonial works sponsor before terraforming operations conform the habitat. Perhaps the boost to the research division of Aegis is merely an attempt to distinguish Aegis from the Intergalactice Naval Reserve Arm, which was recently implicated in an attempted genocide on the Thargoids half a century ago. While political powers continue to wrestle with the morality of the revelation, the Colonia Council and the Diamond Frogs both appealed separately for construction materials to meet the demands of a growing infrastructure. Efforts from the Rogue Runners also met with success in their appeal and construction begins on their asteroid base.
While the People's Princess continues to recover from the recent upheaval that forced the revolt of ten systems, none of last week's expansions succeeded. Both Sirius Gov and the Kumo Crew are experiencing turmoil and tumult this week, while Shadow President Winters and Aisling Duval push for further expansion. Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval's attempt to prepare HIP 34698 for expansion failed due to forces loyal to the People's Princess making a stronger case for their media blitz in HIP 35246.
There were many successful endeavours last week on behalf of the Emperor, and meeting the majority fortification targets promptly was one of them. However, the failure to successfully prepare a system for expansion has hurt the galactic standing. Once again, special interests are delivering corruption reports to Koleti (-43cc), which will cost far more command capital to maintain than the Shield of Justice will ever glean from the system. The Research Desk of the Kamadhenu Herald suggests delivering corruption reports to Changkhulym (-16cc*). Miller Dock is rather distant, but it is well placed to disrupt the Shadow President's operations in Miroman and Reieni while bolstering the Emperor's interests in the same region. If forces loyal to the Emperor wish to expand into populous systems that will return more command capital than they cost to maintain, logistical efforts to deliver corruption reports will have to improve.
As mentioned above, the forces of the Federal Liberal Command bribe their way into pockets of the patrons of Miroman. Two weeks ago the Imperial Enforcement Division helped the Empire stave them off, and they continue to stand firm against Federal encroachment. Opposition in Miroman will likely be fierce over the course of the week, and any cessation of deliveries on their part implies other nefarious attempts to undermine the Empire. The past four days have seen a civil war in Kamadhenu, though the Kamadhenu Chapterhouse of Inquisition continues to hold Shajn Market against all threats.

Good luck and godspeed commanders.
