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

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?
