Squad Update:

• Election in Cempsigi, Wars in BD+67 1409, FF Andromedae and MCC 858

• PP2.0 has set Yong Rui Screwspace ablaze. We’re going to need to cool it off. Fortunately Yong Rui pilots get merits for running missions in Yong Rui space, so merits for beating down our influence in systems.

• Cooling off our overheating systems is important because of Operation New Horizons.

• In light of the new upcoming colonization, we’re trying to expand out of Semakhmets to the edge of the bubble, 70 LY. It’s not terribly far, but Canonn and StellaNebula Project are sitting smack dab in the middle of our way. I’ve charted a route and it is a complex series of ‘filling holes’ and staging retreats along the way. It will be slow but we have no timeline or mechanics for colonization, so fortune favors the prepared.

All details in the #standing-orders and/or the #loose-screws-factions channels of the Discord.
