The close of Cycle 200 saw the
Galaxy’s powers continuing to compete for territory lost
recently by the President and Shadow President.
Prime Minister Edmund
Mahon successfully expanded into
Crowfor, one of Shadow President Felicia
Winters’ lost systems, after seeing minimal resistance. His
forces did not prepare an expansion for Cycle 201.
Emperor Arissa
Lavigny-Duval‘s commanders opted late Wednesday not
to consolidate, instead preparing Simyr for
expansion. This will be her forces’ third attempt to expand to
this system, formerly controlled by the Shadow
President.
Princess Aisling
Duval secured Kherthaje and
managed to overcome saboteurs to successfully prepare
Antliae Sector CQ-Y b3.
The EG
Union, led by Dictator Yuri Grom,
seized Frey from President Hudson as expected,
and has no expansion this week.
Admiral Patreus‘
forces were able to prepare Shokondii early in
Cycle 200 and are in expansion there, attempting to assert
dominance over the former Capo/Yam
region.
President Hudson’s
Federal Republican Command narrowly failed to
regain control of Inovandar and were able to prepare
Kanus, where heavy fighting is
expected.
Simguru Pranav
Antal’s Utopians neither fought for nor prepared an
expansion in Cycle 200.
Senator Zemina
Torval’s logisticians were able to prepare a spate
of weaponized expansions late in the cycle, further threatening
the Shadow President’s economy.
Shadow President
Felicia Winters was unable to prevent special
interests from expanding into three loss-making control systems,
but was able to succeed in Ongondage. Her
Federal Liberal Command was able to prevent
those same special interests from causing further damage in
Cycle 201, successfully preparing Skardee, a
weaponized expansion threatening three Imperial
powers.
SiriusGov CEO Li
Yong-Rui prepared HIP 23395, a
rare profitable opportunity for his corporation.
Despite a late struggle to
limit consolidation votes, Archon Delaine’s Kumo
Crew was able to prepare Atata as
intended. Atata is the only expansion in Cycle 201 that was not
prepared as a direct result of ZYADA’s offensives against the
Federation.
