Commanders,
Your Superpower needs you!
The mystery surrounding HIP 87621 has gripped the Galaxy since August, when Terri Tora's trail of beacons led Commanders to the system. Where there had been whispers of a secret hidden here for decades by the October Consortium.
Speculation has grown in recent months, and the Powers have been building an enclave of systems around HIP 87621, signaling high interest in something. However, no direct moves had been made… until now!
With the recent discovery of the Radicoida unica Exobiological and rumours of it’s biological applications, rival powers are clashing in open combat across the enclave surround HIP 87621. Each Superpower is determined to ensure that one of its loyal Powers emerges victorious. Campaigns have begun to take control of the enclave surrounding the system, and in doing so, controlling access to this valuable resource and being the first to benefit from it.
Each superpower has opened with a community goal for the initial 2 weeks of the campaign which will reward a pre-engineered multi-cannon. However, the true and longer term objective for each power is to take control of the 49 system enclave, with each power offering a specially engineered version of a relevant powerplay module if they emerge victorious. How this plays out is entirely up to you, Commanders.
As part of this event we have made the following adjustments.

How this plays out is entirely up to you, Commanders.
As part of this event we have made the following adjustments.
- Powerplay:
- Markers will now be placed on the galaxy map over rival systems, indicating targets for undermining efforts
- A maximum of 5 markers will be placed per Power
- The system targets of these markers is determined entirely by player undermining efforts - the top 5 undermined system by players in a power will have a marker placed over them
- Marker placement will update once per day
- Within these marked systems, Power Conflict Zones will generate, fully enabling combat as a viable means of undermining
In the event two powers are undermining the same system, the CZ will take place between the occupying power and the undermining power with the most control score at the time of the daily update.
- An additional +25% merit bonus will be awarded for all undermining actions taken within a marked system
- Merit Bonuses will now be awarded for undermining and subsequently occupying another power's system
- A system must be undermined to unoccupied, and then acquired within 1 cycle for the bonus to be issued
- Only the agents within power that acquires the system will be issued bonuses, and that power must have actively taken part in undermining the system to the unoccupied state
- Merit bonuses will be issued on a tier system, so agents with a higher undermining contribution will receive a higher bonus:
- 25th Percentile - 20,000 Merits
- 50th Percentile - 10,000 Merits
- 75th Percentile - 5,000 Merits
- Bonuses will be issued on a weekly basis over the maintenance period
- Initially, both of these new mechanics will only be active for the Powerplay systems surrounding HIP 87621.
- Within the enclave, exploited systems do not require a fortified system in range.
