Undermining

Undermining is the deliberate destruction of an enemy Power’s Power Ships in a Control System. This is usually done in a wing by interdiction or at the Powerplay Power Ship spawn point. Every ship killed rewards the commander a Power Bond which when claimed rewards Merits and increases the Undermining value of a Control System. If the Undermined value goes above 100% it raises the risk of a Power entering Turmoil in which Control Systems can be lost. How focused each Power is on this activity will depend upon the Power’s current diplomatic status with the other Powers and their approach to galactic domination.
