You obviously have far more faith in FDev than I, but my cynicism doesn't prevent me from hoping.

Project Status:
The Expansion from LP 787-52 has begun!!! Awesome job making sure that got started, the 75.1% triggering it did the job and the 81.9% today was absolutely above and beyond!!!
Truly outstanding work CMDRs!!!
The Black Sky Legion and Rabid Hamster Assault Force will be working to direct the expansion as they always have. Further details to follow later.
In the meantime, there’s a war to win in 86 Mu Herculis to get #2 in the system and get ownership of a station. Following the war we will want to continue the climb to take control of the system. Note: We do not plan on conducting an expansion from 86 Mu Herculis, we just want to own it.

Welcome back! It spins! We've got a presence in 14 star systems and just finished testing Sol. We're close to making tests on the LFT 509 system, another exciting lore-based system. Always plenty to do...
Wow, we hit it right in Anyanwu - TDW is at 60%. LHS346 Democrats aren't quite up to 7%, more like 6.3%
(This, very early on Tuesday the 20th before the upcoming tick.)
I think after the LFT 509 test I shall be withdrawing from the project, no salt, no rage-quitting, no burnout, just my own thoughts after many months.
The reasons I joined and my changing thoughts are documented in this thread already, the main reason Im leaving is because of how I felt when I got the Shin Des Permit. I had worked my way up to Elite in explo and was so excited that I would finally meet The Dark Wheel for the first time in the history of Elite. OK so nothing special happened but that excitement was because they were in one system and one system only and were this secretive organisation only in the top ranked system. I personally feel that I dont want to take that feeling away from any new player if TDW are in loads of systems.
Frontier has brought GalNet back and boy how they have done that. Multi-weaved story arcs that are providing more tinfoil than I ever hoped for, this is what I play Elite for and although TDW and Raxxla will always remain the greatest mysteries for me I have other stories and myths to chase now as well which is what I wanted, a game that feels alive.
This project had certain goals namely to test specific systems Permit availability and get a definitive answer and show Frontier there were players who do care about the lore and the story, in my mind for me personally we shall soon have accomplished all these goals, even if the Permits are all negative outcomes they will have been proven beyond doubt. So the time will soon be right for me.
No salt, no regrets, no rage. Many many thanks to everyone here for months of joy and giving me a reason to keep playing especially during the time the Galaxy lost all life. To the Black Sky Legion & all the Hamsters I say 'Never in the field of human gaming has so much been owed by so many to so few'. Without BSL none of this would have been possible, the work you have done is incredible and we literally couldn't have done it without you. To the BGS experts from the start to the finish I say thank you, the work you have done is to me mind-boggling and to lay it out on the forums as easy to follow instructions and 'take your pick' has just been amazing. To the rest who played their part however great or small, its been an amazing community to be a part of. You all have been valuable and valued.
I am but a drop in the ocean of contributors past and present, I will keep an eye on the thread and may pop in from time to time. I wish you all the best and will keep contributing until LFT 509 is tested and proven but then I will retire. Just felt better to say it now rather than after and couldn't leave without saying thank you to so many people, all of you people who kept the dark times full of light and were a positive inspiration in the game. I wish you all safe flying and hope to see you in the bar sometimes to raise a glass to what has happened here.

Beautifully written post and I just wanted to chip in and say that, although my involvement in this project has only been sporadic I've absolutely loved it and, more importantly, think things like this are INCREDIBLY important in bringing true meaning to the game. I've never really been motivated by credits or reputation or any of those things ... they seem like shallow and gamey reasons to pilot a space ship. But contributing to projects like this, or preparing for and taking part in events like Distant Worlds or races, or scouting locations for film making projects or researching mysteries or contributing to photo journalism projects like Sagittarius Eye ... these things feel REAL to me and give true purpose to our in-game activities. So a huge thanks to you and everyone involved in the organisation of this project for giving us purpose (and for many who found themselves at a loose end in the dark times, a reason to play). Irrespective of the final outcome (and whether Frontier ultimately choose to recognise it in some way) you've all done a wonderful thing!I think after the LFT 509 test I shall be withdrawing from the project, no salt, no rage-quitting, no burnout, just my own thoughts after many months.

And so the Battle for 9 Puppis begins. No player factions and the system controller pretty low on INF. Hopefully this will be a lot quicker than Ross 154.

Project Status:
The Dark Wheel has arrived in 9 PUPPIS (the LFT 509 Test Site), on target and on schedule!!!
The invasion WAR for 9 PUPPIS is active TODAY, though the CZs are not populated at the time of this posting (this will change in a couple of hours).
Let’s steamroll this invasion WAR 4-0 CMDRs!!!
CZs are located at: A2E (1x LOW) and A2A (1x MED)
After this war we want to put TDW in control of 9 PUPPIS.
Additionally, the ELECTION for control of 86 MU HERCULIS is 2-0 today. EXCELLENT JOB!!!
Let’s keep that rolling for a 4-0 to make 86 MU HERCULIS another TDW controlled system!
As always, there are housekeeping items for the rest of TDWs systems, see below.
Please remember:
- Do NOT work for other factions in TDW systems, unless requested below.
- Do NOT hand in trade goods or cartography data to stations that we do not own.
- Do NOT hand in bounties for any faction other than TDW in our systems.

General Remarks:
- All TDW Controlled Systems: Until a planned expansion is announced, TDW should have no greater than 65% INF to avoid any unintended expansions.
- LAVE - TDW is to be #2, ~20% below Lave Radio Network
- WOLF 433 - TDW is to be #2, well below LHS 2541 Alliance Combine, ~20% is ideal
- ARQUE - TDW is a guest of Alliance Rapid-reaction Corps, no work required here
- As a general rule, when factions in a TDW system are in conflict, we want the native faction (Blue N by their name in Inara when looking at the system) to LOSE. Where two non-native factions conflict, neither winner is “desired”, depending on INF level after the conflict, we would likely boost the LOSER to avoid retreat (happens at 2.5% or lower). Two native factions in conflict can be ignored and their INF in the system can be addressed after the conflict ends.

Looks to me as if you need to sort your priorities, my friend.
I'll be planting the beans...
...but thinking of CZ's
You can create your own Combat Zone by throwing the slugs over your neighbours fence...just make sure they arent sunbathing at the time coz then you have to make something up like a bird must have dropped it
