Winters: Cycle 265: Vote For Brantford

In recent news:

Winters has now entered the voting stage of elections. Sadly, Brantford was able to decline all of his nominations, so our only hope now is that our bribes got through to the election official and he’s on the ballot anyway. Hudson and the Empire... I know they did things last cycle, but I was too busy nominating Brantford for all the positions to pay attention. Sorry guys! I’ll pay attention next time!

Elsewhere in the galaxy:

Sirius Corporation announced that they have developed a new hyperdrive system capable of jumping from the inhabited bubble to Colonia in a single jump, while using only two tons of fuel. This announcement brought interest from the Alliance as well as Pranav Antal’s space hippies, whose spokesperson announced “Such important technology should belong to everyone free of charge, man.” When questioned about his interest, Archon Delaine‘s spokespirate stated plainly, “I don’t think he’s interested. He’s already got one.” Unfortunately, the Sirius Corp. presentation scheduled to unveil the prototype hyperdrive was cancelled, and has not yet been rescheduled.

This lackluster update brought to you by u/Bullet_Bait, and by Galnet. With a player-driven storyline and no real input from Galnet, my updates could be considered official storyline! And now, u/CMDR_Brantford will post the actual useful information below!

FORTIFICATION

ON HOLD:

No need to haul to the Winters Control Systems at this time. We have something else you can haul to - see below. (We usually also post a "Do Not Fortify" list.. but with some of these systems being shed, a new updated list will be posted shortly. Anyhow, we don't want you fortifying anything for now).

Why do we not want Winters control systems fortified? Read an explanation from one of Federal Liberal Command's Fortification Directors here.

PREPARATION

ON HOLD: No preps currently are targeted by FLC/Winters. THat may change later in the cycle. Visit our Discord and become a member to see the most up to date updates!

EXPANSION

You can haul Liberal Federal Aid to either Velnians or Nunuri (Note: Nunuri is a medium only pad). The closest Winters control systems to pick FedAid up from are HIP 38747 and Erivit/Sawali.

UNDERMINING

Senator Patty is in trouble this week. Help compound his troubles by undermining the systems of V374 Pegasi. Destroy all Imperial support ships and Patreus Sentinels and hand in your UM merits at the nearest Winters control system. (In this case, LHS 235 would be your best bet.)
