PvP

Powerplay is played in Open Mode thus Player vs Player combat when performing Power Activities is a possibility for any commander. The Powers, alliances and Player Groups that constitute them may have dedicated PvP wings and operations depending upon their view of the galaxy and their diplomatic status with others.

Powerplay and Crime & Punishment
Powerplay has consensual PvP and is exempt from the usual Elite Dangerous Crime & Punishment system. Commanders can destroy another ship marked as an Enemy without incurring notoriety or a criminal bounty in the system. Instead a Power Bounty will be applied to the attacking commander. Note that inside the no fire zone of a station a commander pledged to the controlling Power can still engage enemy commanders with the station attacking an enemy commander if they fire back.

Losing a Power Bounty
Power Bounties can be lost by having them cleared at Interstellar Factors or by being killed by a commander of the Power that issued the Power Bounty.
