Powerplay Wiki

 Welcome to the ! This wiki is focused upon providing information on the grand strategy layer of Elite Dangerous and how the game of galactic politics & domination is played. This is the game played by commanders and not the story articles published on GalNet which are largely separate from the player driven events & continuity.

Of Powers and Superpowers
The galaxy is divided in territorial spheres, some rich, some poor and some burdensome. These spheres can be controlled and fought over by Powers and through them also a Superpower with the Alliance being represented by Edmund Mahon, the Federation by Federal United Command and the Empire by the Imperial High Council.

The galactic aspirations and strategies of Powers are guided by Powerplay Groups made up of Player Groups, Squadrons and individual commanders all pledged to push their Power’s agenda forward. Each Powerplay Group has its own organisation structure, culture and means of communication. They can be joined via the information on each Power’s wiki page.

Of Superpowers, Powers, & Player Minor Factions
In Powerplay the territory of the Alliance, the Empire, & the Federation is represented by their Control Systems as shown on the Galaxy Map Powerplay Tab.  The Superpower allegiance of the controlling Minor Faction or Player Minor Faction of a system is irrelevant . This is because only the type of government benefits or hurts a Power and not its Superpower affiliation. Player Groups and Squadrons looking to create a Player Minor Faction should check on the respective Power information page here to make sure they are selecting the correct type of government.

The Galactic Powers
There are 11 Powers in Elite Dangerous, the 10 original Powers plus Yuri Grom who was added later as part of the Dangerous Games event. In Powerplay only the original Powers have a Powerplay Group whilst Yuri Grom's largest Player Group is The Eyes of Leshak.
