Like Granny Torval, Patty rescued his consolidation vote late in the cycle to avoid another unplanned expansion. Imperial beefcake Denton Patreus avoided swallowing Caph, where Feds were also at work.
Aisling’s Zeta Trianguli Australis was undermined. Uncle Yuri Grom’s control systems Huilliche and Pethes were cancelled in the latest of an ongoing series of Federal attacks. Opposition from ZYADA pilots was stretched to the limit but prevailed at the last, in heroic style. President-Elect Felicia Winters pushed her Dongkum expansion hard, delivering close on 300k merits.
Our much maligned and little-understood game mode would seem to be once again in rude health, like old times. A cycle of intensely contested Powerplay, with the Federation reinvigorated (and not only in the legacy galaxy).
