Powerplay Report – Cycle 233

During the last cycle we saw an uptick in total undermining activity, with several Powers being affected; but none newly entering turmoil. Emperor Lavigny-Duval does remain in turmoil, slowly improving her economy by shedding another mildly unprofitable system. Yuri Grom continues to have unguided lossmaking expansions while Li Yong-Rui’s unprofitable…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 232

Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval completed what appears to have been a very smooth “self-turmoil” last cycle, successfully avoiding outside interference. Having ended the previous cycle with four unprofitable systems in turmoil, she maintained this and a total of 63 Command Capital (CC) was reclaimed every turn by losing the systems of…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 231

Dictator Yuri Grom’s turmoil in cycle 230 ended, losing the systems of San Guan and Garm — a total income loss of 74 Command Capital (CC) at maximum overheads. However, the reduced overheads of a smaller power has offset this loss and gives Grom a net gain of 111 CC.…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 230

Grom’s turmoil Dictator Yuri Grom’s domain fell into turmoil at the end of the last cycle when he was 385 Command Capital (CC) short of paying for his upkeep. His default surplus is currently the highest of any Power at 650 CC, but ten systems being undermined cost him 1,128…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 229

The forces of Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval and SimGuru Pranav Antal both came very close to turmoil at the end of the last cycle — in each case, one more undermined system would have been enough to push them into turmoil, although not enough to do serious damage. However, as a…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 228

Profitable expansions Last cycle saw Dictator Yuri Grom’s profitable control systems Lundji and Latugara available for preparation, as he lost them in the prior cycle. It is possible the Federation caused the turmoil that previously forced Grom to retreat from these systems, but multiple parties had an interest and no…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 227

Dictator Yuri Grom’s forces emerged from turmoil with the loss of only two systems - Lundji and Latugara. Both were profitable and contributed a combined 47 Command Capital (CC) when his administration held more than 54 control systems. As these losses take Grom down from 51 to 49 control systems,…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 226

Dictator Yuri Grom’s forces are once again in trouble with six profitable systems in turmoil, totalling 689 Command Capital (CC) in gross income (before overheads and upkeep). Grom started the cycle 1,463 CC in deficit; and with twenty systems already undermined and only two fortified, GalNet predicts they will end…

Powerplay Report – Cycle 225

Dictator Yuri Grom’s forces managed to narrowly escape turmoil without losing the profitable system of Nauo. However, they did so with insufficient Command Capital (CC) to achieve all four of their attempted expansions. Three of them (Belu, Ross 89, Mado) were weaponised against other powers, contesting a total of 81…
