Squad Update: 

• The wars without end are on hiatus. We’re trying to build some distance between us and opponents in Darahk, Miola, Howard and Balmus. We’re fighting for second in BD+67 1409 in the polls and on to control. We’re pushing for control in NLTT 52560. There is a war in Yen Ti, not our highest priority, but we’re happy to win.

  
  



• We’re expanding out of 6A - Currently our target is Nedos

  
  



• Soon we will be moving to reclaim control of NLTT 1139 and G 218-5 

  
  



• Our new neighbors NuADI or the Squadron previously associated with PE are making an effort to get to know folks in the neighborhood. They’re using V640 Cassiopeia as a staging ground for farming massacre missions in their space, they’re planning on farming bounties sustainably. 

  
  



• Our other neighbors, the Hellssina Knights are keeping things stable on their front. 

  
  



• In other words thing are getting back to normal, and hopefully stay that way until PP 2.0

  
  



• IF you are interested in BGS reach out to us in the LSN channel in our discord. A bunch of us love to talk BGS

8-2-3310 - Assassination attempt on the Emperor in Cubeo

8-6-3310 - Aegis offers engineering rewards for participating in the clearing of control systems in the thargoid war, like Arx for killing titans. 

8-7-3310 - The Type 8 Released - Better fuel efficiency than a Python Mk. II - also better looking.

8-8-3310 - Utopia is offering two CGs - Data mat deliveries of cracked industrial firmware, classified scan data banks and unexpected emission data along with a second CG requesting autofabricators, animal monitors and microcontrollers - insert Rocket Raccoon joke here. They are offering a Yellow Crypsis paint job for the Krait Mk. II to the top 50% of contributors. Unclear if there are any stoopid credit rewards as well, We’re due for one of those. 

Thargoid war update:

• Thor controls 4 systems

  
  



• We got an alert from the Pilots’ Federation asking for help in taking out the last four systems. 

  
  



• Maybe Thor breaks a rule and becomes vulnerable before next Thursday? Who knows?
