Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Weekly Objectives for Cycle 67

Good morning Commanders!

Last cycle was full of high drama, starting with the unannounced and unexpected manual intervention by FD, the knock-on effects of which crippled Wulwula from a profitable system to a loss-making one and also allowed the unintended expansion of Yaque after grinders prepared it. Fortunately Sandro was kind enough to intervene; with the beginning of this cycle the CC should be restored and Yaque's expansion crushed.

The end of the cycle was no less exciting as we got into an unforeseen preparation war with the Kumo Crew over Lusondra. Loyal commanders shifted around 200,000 tonnes of preparation materials to save that region from degradation, piracy and slavery, and as things heated up in the last hours the Pirate King dispatched a small force to intercept our loyal haulers outside Lee Orbital, which was thankfully driven off before doing too much damage.

Still, the end result is that Lusondra is now available for expansion. The closest Controlled System is Blod.

Our next preparation target is probably the system of Sawar. The closest CS is Yen Hsini.

If you want to get an early start when the servers come back up then a few fortification targets are encouraged, for example Blod, Chankates, Rutujil or HIP 105391.

The finalised objectives will be posted on Reddit and copied here when ready once the numbers wizards have done their magic dance.

Never ever fortify: Clido Pi, Chnumar, Daibo, Grebegus, HIP 10786, Karsuki Ti, Kuki An, Lambda-1 Tucanae, Okua'gsa, Panganau. You will make baby Aisling cry.

Fly safe, commanders.

Damnit!

Still, that early in the morning I was doing well to remember my own name, let alone that of an imaginary star system.
 
Please send more CMDRs to Lusonda. I have some mods to test out.


As I hear you found out, we did.

Weekly Objectives for Cycle 67__________________________________________________
Hail, CMDRS!
It appears some serious congratulations are in order. Despite some severe last-minute offensives on all three fronts, we came out of the last cycle with a trifecta of brilliance - the desired CC levels, the successful expansion into Wulwula, and a successful end to a mammoth prep war over the Lusonda system.
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of cargo were shifted over the course of the cycle, a massive effort that shows the level of dedication our CMDRs have for their princess's goals and their desire to see all forms of slavery abolished throughout the galaxy. Take pride in your efforts, and know that you have served a just cause in seeking to liberate those that cannot free themselves.
However, the deed is not done yet. If we want to stake a claim on Lusonda, we will need to do a massive amount of expansion work to overcome the unfavourable triggers. It is highly likely that, should Lusonda fail, it will be locked down and made inaccessible to any other powers, so this is our only chance to prevent it from becoming a hub of cruelty and slavery in the months to come.
We take this time to repeat our message from previous weeks, in the hopes that it will resonate throughout the Empire: Tradition is no excuse for subjugation. One day, sometime far-off from now, the citizens of the Empire will look back with shame at their barbarism and complicity in the commodification of people. The road to a brighter future is paved by those visionaries that see a chance to make the galaxy a better place, and strive to do their utmost to make that happen.

As always, the following is a list of suggested actions that, in collaboration with the Aisling Duval community, we feel will best serve the needs of our Princess' administration.

If you do not wish to use the Trello, a static list of targets to fortify is provided below. Bear in mind that this list will not be updated routinely, and it is best to consult either the Trello or in-game to ensure that these systems have not already reached their fortification totals.

DO NOT FORTIFY ANY OTHER SYSTEMS UNLESS THESE OBJECTIVES ARE UPDATED TO SHOW OTHERWISE.
Systems are fortified by collecting Program (fortification) materials from Cubeo only and delivering them to the target system.
Do not fortify any systems that are already at 100% fortification. Remember the One-Ton Test: Drop 1t of fortification materials at the station first, and check to see if the trigger has already been met. If it has, please find another system to fortify instead!
Please report your contributions to fortification values in the Reports field of the Aisling Duval Slack. __________________________________________________

We found out sure. Heard of several kills on both sides. I'm just glad we have stuff going on in Open. Far too little of that.

I do have to ask - how was it unforeseen? :D
 
Oh, it wasn't unforeseen by the people who select these targets. Personally, though, I'd never even heard of the place before last week. I didn't know it was once a Kumo CS. I only found out on Friday.
 
Ah. I see. Also - by "was once" it was lost the cycle before you prepped it :) Still, we had fun. Kudos for the amount of hauling y'all did. Made for an interesting sleepless Wednesday night :)
