Winters: Cycle 259: Two Rights Don't Make A Wrong

In recent news:

Commanders from Winters and Duval argued about whether the dress was black and blue or white and gold. Neither side has or will ever win. Denton Patreus lost some weight, despite all those quarantine snacks. Outside of that, not much interesting happened. Some people prepped things, others forted things, others undermined things, and still others did nothing at all except for write this summary.

Elsewhere in the galaxy:

Empire forces celebrated victory, and denied others of their happiness. Federal forces were told they weren't allowed to be happy. Independent forces didn’t really care one way or another. Alliance forces had snacks. This non-refundable update brought to you by u/Bullet_Bait, and by the number two. It's the loneliest number since the number one.

And now, u/CMDR_Brantford will post the actually 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).

PREPARATION

Haul Liberal Propaganda to the system of Sosong. Your closest Winters control system to pick that up from to haul to it is at Skeggiko O.

EXPANSION - None at this time.

UNDERMINING

You have a choice of 2 systems to choose from this week. Destroy all Aisling Duval ships trying to take over Mbambiva, or hit all Zemina Torval ships at Tiapalan. Return to the nearest Felicia Winters control system to redeem all opposition/Undermining merits.
