Dispatch from the Kamadhenu Herald
24 December 3301
The traditional winter solstice of Earth quickly approaches, and Hel Purple Energy Industry thanks all those pilots who contributed to their shipping goal to Snow Moon. We'll see how quickly HPE can turn around those snow globes.
Another week has past and protests continue across a few of the major powers' systems of influence. Three systems from both President Hudson's and Emperor Lavigny-Duval's political base have revolted from their patron's influence. In President Hudson's case, they were distant and densely-populated sectors, but in the Emperor's case, they were moderately populous regions of space which were only newly brought into the fold. The more important development is that while the protests across Hudson-influenced space again focus on densely populous regions distant from Nanoman, protests against the Emperor's political machine in Kamadhenu are centered around sparsely-populated frontier regions.
Yupini is a striking example of a system on the edge of Empire space which barely exploits seven systems in its radius, with the majority of the region's population in three fairly secure agricultural systems. The Yupini Imperial Society which originally supported the Emperor's bid for power have long since lost control of the system. The Patron's Principles out of nearby Paresa acknowledges this fact openly, as they struggle to salvage a minuscule presence in their home system.
Pancienses is another tale, one which many pilots in Lavigny's Legion are quick to tell. The success of the then Senator's crime sweeps in Pancienses and the political support that Pancienses Network gave to her cause were crucial to signifying her stance as a galactic power in her own right. Unfortunately, that system is a hot-bed of political rivalries, and one lone Imperial corporation could not hold the other powers at bay when they came knocking. Pancienses has ceased to be a strong support block for the Emperor, and the massive criminal activity other galactic rivals have sponsored has worn down support in the system for it to no longer be a feasible outpost for the Kamadhenu coterie. Allowing these two systems to revolt can only help the Emperor's cause in the future.
On that note, once resourceful systems like Pancienses are always capable of being diverted by rivals siphoning off the focus of systems in their spheres of influence. President Hudson has attempted similar moves with his repeated attempts to force security operations in HIP 44811 against the local corporation. This week, Shadow President Winters is delivering liberal aide packages in an attempt to sway the system. As her aide packages target the corporations, and not the citizens who labour under them, her expansion attempt in HIP 44811 has an alarmingly good chance of succeeding this week.
In other news, last week's polling shows that thirty-three systems under the influence of the three powers openly hostile to the Emperor experienced massive criminal undermining of their efforts, clearly pushing President Hudson's political machine into turmoil and drastically reducing the available command capital the Kumo Crew can expend this week. Additionally, Senator Patreus was able to recover from massive criminal efforts to undermine his authority, and protests in the nearby system of Tuareg were able to end peacefully and in support of the Senator.
Once again, eight systems in the Emperor's sphere were undermined, successfully sending two systems not worth their overheads into turmoil. Three moderately-populous systems were lost to revolt, but only one of them is truly worth securing again, should the opportunity present itself.
Research's advice this week is the same as it has been for months. With efficient and precise fortification, the Kamadhenu political machine should be able to secure the most importantly placed systems, which return the greatest command capital for the costs of upkeep.
Direct opposition of the Shadow President's corporate liberal agenda is advised.
Good luck and godspeed, Commanders.
