Patreus: Cycle 259: Cycle 259 Objectives: The Admiral Awakens (Is this thing on?)

SUMMARY

It has been quite a long time since our last Reddit post. It is long due for that to change. In cycle 258 we attempted a SCRAP but due to a last minute snipe by the Federation, some systems we did not want in turmoil ended up on the list instead.

With an amazing effort by all of our haulers. We are now out of turmoil and lost 3 systems, which puts us into reduced overheads and now have a starting balance of 83cc

Due to ALL of the systems in turmoil being forted, even the unprofitable ones by someone. We lost 2 profitables and 1 lossmaker. Kwazahui, Neali and Guguroro.

The Feds may call this a victory for them but in reality it really isn't so bad. Kwazahui had a nearly 10k ton forting requirement and while being quite profitable, was kind of an albatross for us to maintain. Neali only gives us a handful of CC per cycle, and well as for Guguroro we will not miss you at all since you are a lossmaking system.

So Kwazahui is gone, Aisling is expanding next door into Mbambiva and Winters is prepping Sosong in that same area. We expect to see lots of fighting over that area in the future!

So long Kwaz we will kind of miss you, (just not your planetary pad.)

What is next you say? Well we did notice quite a few grinders that are pledged to us during our massive fortification efforts, and even a few former Feds too! We encourage you all to come join the team! You can find the link to our Discord on this page.

Combat

Oppose Winters expansion attempt in:


 * CLAYAHU

As it heavily contests our allies in Torval.

Fortification

Please fortify these systems up to 100% by collecting Garrison Supplies from Eotienses and delivering them to:


 * OTO

Fortification objectives are designed to ensure our logistics efforts are as effective as possible, covering critical systems while maximizing the Senator’s command capital. You can also check the fortification tracker linked above.

Remember not to waste your supplies. Drop one ton before delivering your full shipment to force the game to give you updated numbers.

Preparation


 * NONE AT THIS TIME
