I got back into Elite a month ago and looking forward to Power Play 2.0. I'll be pledged to Patreus when the change happens so if anyone is still playing or plans to come back we can work together!
Greetings, Friends of the Empire!
As expect, the expansion effort into LHS 1067, which was caused by 5c sabotaging our consolidation vote, elicited a very robust Federal response. A typical response we’ve seen before, and yet is continues to fail each time. Our Pilots, members of various PMFs as a matter of routine, continuously scout and report Federal activities in their systems. Early reporting allowed us to focus our fortification efforts, covering what was necessary to foil the Federation’s plan . To all the Friends and Allies of Patreus, well done and a sincere thanks from Senator Denton Patreus.
Cycle 293 Summary:
Expansion to LHS 1067 saw an overwhelming opposition by Federal forces, the preparation of LP 878-87 went into expansion and the successful fortification of 17 systems with one system undermined.
On the BGS side, over the past 2 weeks, we have successfully repelled multiple agression attempts by the dirty Feds and their Anarchic co-conspirators in systems under the Patronage of the great Senator Patreus. These include Domoth, Cuchua, Kuan Gu, Pripai, Gandra, Eledit, just to name a few. At one point, we were facing down 5 conflicts going at the same time, but with the unwavering fortitude of our CMDRs and valuable assistance from our allies, we have emerged triumphantly and showed the invaders that we are a force to be reckoned with. We would like to extend our thanks to the Artemis Corp (who not only helped us maintain control of the Kuan Gu system but also successfully removed all Federal presence there), the SSL Interstellar, the Butchers of Booty Bay, the Quantum Intelligence Enterprise, and the Celebration of Early Astronomy squadrons for their assistance in defending our borders. As always, our vigilant scouts have played an essential role in early discovery of nefarious actions against Admiral Patreus's interest.
Objectives for this week:
Vote to Consolidate.
Do not prepare any system for expansion. Exceptions to this objective will be announced via Patreus discord. If you know of a Patreus pledged pilot preparing a system, refer them to our Discord or have them contact me via INARA to discuss/coordinate efforts.
Defense Plan Objectives are managed via our Fortification Tracker on Patreus discord. If you want to provide support outside of Patreus’ discord, your efforts are appreciated, but please do not over fortify any system, rather find the closest system via Power Play UI and deliver Garrison Supplies there. Remember, over fortification of a system only provides benefit to the Federal Axis of Power, not Patreus, and as such is a hallmark of 5c efforts.
Undermining/Expansion Opposition Objectives are coordinated via Imperial High Council Discord to ensure Economy of Force and maximize/balance Empire efforts.
While our pilots have been doing a wonderful job keeping our space safe to all Imperial and Independent allies, we always welcome new pilots who aspire to a more perfect Empire. Whether you are new to this beautiful game or a seasoned veteran, as long as you have a fondness for the Empire and want to contribute, you are always welcome among our rank. If you are interested, stop by Denton Patreus' ElitePatreus Discord and we can discuss how you can be part of the movement.
Vivat Imperium!
#SUMMARY
Last cycle saw Oto * static * turmoil due to a * static * * static * by the Feds. * static * We interrupt this transmission with a message from the Admiral's Ministry of Public Affairs.
It is said on good authority that Patreus pilots have just concluded an operation in which they have intentionally put Oto in turmoil. In a move of sheer brilliance they dumped the key merits at the last minute to save the system from leaving the Admiral's domain of control. All enemy forces are now in complete disarray and demoralized upon seeing this. Some are said to even be renouncing their previous ways and want to join the Empire to further it's glory. The Admiral's victory is complete. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
A special thank you to all our forters and combat pilots out there who continue to contribute and support us to keep things running smoothly.

So, last cycle was nothing too crazy. We forted a bit and now have our Consolidation bonus back. We also managed to prep block a nasty 5c attempt to expand into Cernobog.
On the combat side of things, Clayahu was successfully opposed. Great work!

#SUMMARY
It has been quite a long time since our last Reddit post. It is long due for that to change. In cycle 258 we attempted a SCRAP but due to a last minute snipe by the Federation, some systems we did not want in turmoil ended up on the list instead.
With an amazing effort by all of our haulers. We are now out of turmoil and lost 3 systems, which puts us into reduced overheads and now have a starting balance of 83cc
Due to ALL of the systems in turmoil being forted, even the unprofitable ones by someone. We lost 2 profitables and 1 lossmaker. Kwazahui, Neali and Guguroro.
The Feds may call this a victory for them but in reality it really isn't so bad. Kwazahui had a nearly 10k ton forting requirement and while being quite profitable, was kind of an albatross for us to maintain. Neali only gives us a handful of CC per cycle, and well as for Guguroro we will not miss you at all since you are a lossmaking system.
So Kwazahui is gone, Aisling is expanding next door into Mbambiva and Winters is prepping Sosong in that same area. We expect to see lots of fighting over that area in the future!
So long Kwaz we will kind of miss you, (just not your planetary pad.)
What is next you say? Well we did notice quite a few grinders that are pledged to us during our massive fortification efforts, and even a few former Feds too! We encourage you all to come join the team! You can find the link to our Discord on this page.

This is an extended cycle recap, Patreuts. Grab a pastrami sandwich and take a seat - we've got a lot to say.
A very busy week all around. Grom outprepped Hudson for LFT 37 at LTT 9795 in a prep war reminiscent of last year. Additionally, the Federation lost more battles against weaponized incursions into Fed space - ALD won Ostyat, damaging the Shadow presidents realm significantly and Grom won in Skinfaxi, destroying the Presidents economy even further. ZYADA's offensives against the Federation are gutting it significantly and there seems to be no sign of this slowing down.
Although I've not had time today to sit down personally and run the numbers, Hudson are very close to the -400cc mark - a similar figure to the Emperor's economy and just as difficult to maintain week in, week out.
We've got an expansion! We've prepped Regira with favourable triggers for expansion, so this is where we will be this cycle. Hit the military strikes in system, and don't stop going - we expect heavy resistance against our expansion as is the usual modus operandi of our enemies. Regira represents the first worthwhile expansion for Patreus in a while and we'd like to take the system despite the short term weight it adds to our economy.
Recapping the cycle, Winters were beaten back in CD-79 950, but we didn't see any real effort from the Shadow Presidents forces to believe they were seriously attempting a takeover. In the same area this cycle, Winters have prepped Njambi, a loss making system that perhaps writes down interests elsewhere in the area. The Patreus team will be monitoring closely.
If Njambi writes down Winters intentions in the area, then their expansion this cycle over at Huangais is a letter to the abyss. Damaging everything it touches, Huangais will wreck Winters positive economy and drive her in the red. In what seems to be a shift over at Rhea HQ, Huangais throws caution and shrewd planning to the wind and opts for the brute force, mutually assured destruction approach such an expansion represents.
Plenty to see and do this cycle, commanders. Let's get it done.

Wow, what a cycle.
Imperial forces smashed Diegakul out of the park, leaving Winters nothing to show for over 700,000 tons of hauled merits. Hotly contested all cycle, the Empire emerge from this battle victorious against the odds. If our enemies thought the Empire an easy target, they were wrong.
Both Hudson and Winters failed to stop our allies expansions into Federal space, with Grom succeeding in all four weaponized expansions - damaging the Federal president significantly, whilst giving a little tap to Winters for good measure. With Grom's heavyweight surplus economy, this damage will remain for a very, very long time.
ALD successfully prepped Ostyat, a weaponized expansion into Winters space. Hudson successfully prepped Zemez, a poisoned chalice for both Hudson and the power it's aimed at, Grom. Grom are back in Skinfaxi to further damage Hudson.
Winters successfully prepped CD-79 950 ahead of Patreus' preparation in Maityan, but them's the breaks and we're not too upset at Patreus Planning - either way is a victory for us; we keep a strong economy and stretch Winters this way whilst we get to focus on President Hudson.
Which is where we'll be this cycle. Head over to Hudson's expansion in Zemez and oppose their expansion into ZYADA-controlled space.
Overall, a great last week for us. Now it's time to follow up with this week.

Hello? Is this thing still on...?
Greetings, fellow Patreuts! Firstly, our apologies for the lack of updates lately - things are busy, and I don't always find time to write these up.
Firstly, we've exited turmoil, having recently shed two unprofitable systems resulting in a healthier, leaner domain. Patreus Planning would like to extend our sincere thanks to all commanders involved during our two weeks in turmoil - the Senator owes you more than a few beverages and Pastrami sandwiches. Shedding these two systems has left us in a much better position than a few weeks ago and it shows.
Now we're out of turmoil and we've got work to do. Winters are attempting a weaponized expansion in Diegakul against our allies at Aisling and ALD, which means that's where we're going this cycle. Warm up those APA's, wing up with other commanders and go send them Agents and Fed-Aid ships all the way back to Rhea in peices.
Elsewhere, Grom are weaponizing against the Federation with 4 expansions into Fed space which should keep both Grom and the Federation busy. Any one of these weaponized expansions going through will gut the Feds economy significantly.

#Patreus
Wow, that cycle sure did escalate quickly!
A staggering last minute push by Aisling Duval saw Winters and Aisling go neck and neck at preparing the former Torval-controlled Capo sphere. Aisling pilots moved a quarter of a million merits from the other side of the bubble but were just pipped to the post by Winters, who had a significantly shorter trip (140LY+ AD/15LY Winters) to run preparation - a victory through proximity. This wasn't an easy task for Aisling pilots, and one we at Patreus are impressed with - it was a superb effort, Aisling commanders.
Elsewhere, combat-based powers are expanding against mechanical issues in-game; we foresee an uphill struggle for all three expanding combat powers this cycle, as opposition to these expansions is considerably easier than those pushing the expansions. Patreus pilots looking for combat merits should aim those APA's squarely at Winters in Capo; make them work again.
ALD are expanding in Toxandji, a weaponized expansion against Winters. Hudson are expanding in Allowini and finally our ally Grom is expanding in Zmeyaaya.
One thing is for sure - the results will be interesting.

#Patreus
Welcome to C162, commanders! Last cycle went along as we expected; Winters unsurprisingly took Belgitan, Torval exited turmoil having shed 5 systems and ALD failed to make any traction whatsoever in Julanggarri thanks to yet another bug affecting combat powers in a recurring theme. ALD were unable to earn merits in powerplay conflict zones, and therefore were soundly routed as you'd expect when you can't contribute.
This also places all combat powers in an awkward position - we effectively cannot successfully expand, and it's here that the problem arises. By preparing a system, any combat power would be draining their commanders reserves on an unachieveable result and puts both Patreus and our friends at ALD being both combat powers at another disadvantage. We hope Frontier addresses this issue with haste for all combat powers regardless of superpower affiliation; this is a serious hinderance to all of us, unless you can haul cargo for your expansions - which we and a good number of other powers cannot do through design.
This week we're once again forced to Consolidate. The Alliance has a bad expansion they would rather see fail in Uracenufon, so if you like your pewpews feel free to head there and help the Alliance avoid a terrible drain on their economy. If forting is more your thing, please follow the priorities below or join us on our discord!

Another cycle down! Last week was business as usual at the Patreus camp; knuckling down and getting things done. Our expansion into HIP 2239 was thwarted, but there's not much to be said either way; at -1cc, it really makes little difference here if we're successful or not. Torval landed in turmoil, but with a number of so-so systems and some terrible ones on the block, we figure Torval HQ won't be too upset by it.
Elsewhere in the bubble, Winters were soundly routed although this was no surprise - they simply did not want Akuntsu and it showed from the off. This cycle Winters have prepped Belgitan, with the triggers for the system ever-so-slightly in their favour; unlike Akuntsu, Winters will want this.
ALD have a weaponized expansion this cycle in a system I can't remember how to spell (Julanggarri), which decimates Winters economy significantly whilst also giving a little tap to Hudson systems; with the triggers heavily against ALD, this may be an uphill battle for the Emperor.
Finally, we stopped the Alliance expansion into Uracenufon, saving them from an awful expansion which would have damaged them massively.

Apologies for the lack of updates recently - we've been busy enjoying the summer weather! (We don't get much sun in England Eotienses, so we have to enjoy it whilst we can!
The last couple of cycles have moved along at a regular pace; Winters were defeated in their expansion attempt last week and now have another expansion in Akuntsu to be opposed, although it seems that they don't particularily want it much so we won't be expending too much effort in opposition here this cycle. Hudson just about scraped by with their consolidation bonus intact and finally ALD took Ch'iang F'ei (I can't help but feel someone got really excited about apostrophies somewhere...), a once-ALD controlled system now returning back into the Emperors dominion.
This cycle for Patreus will be a quiet one; fortification is the name of the game. We have an expansion over in HIP 2239 where you can earn merits without recourse, but commanders are asked to contribute through fortification if you are able to do so.
Prefer undermining? Please oppose Uracenufon - an Alliance expansion they don't want and would result in a significant loss to the Alliance should it be allowed to succeed.

#Patreus A busy last cycle all around for ZYADA! ALD expanded successfully into Copityar, damaging Winters in the process. Yuri Grom expanded successfully into LTT 8260, ensuring continued ZYADA control in the area. AD expanded successfully into Runapa.
"But hey dangerzone, what about Luyten 205-128?" I hear you ask. Well, we were unsuccessful in our expansion as we anticipated, but it allowed our allies to succeed as we forced the Federations hand - the Federation could never afford to ignore Luyten. As a result, the Admiral absorbed the brunt of the opposition last week - nearly 200,000 Federation merits that could have been placed elsewhere, but due to the threat of economic devastation had to instead invest time in our expansion.
Our allies all secured critical systems and with Grom now taking control of LTT 8260, Patreus has ensured that our loss will never be the Federation's gain.
Outside of ZYADA expansions, we fortified to full consolidation again and protected our best systems in the process. Winters finally took control of HR 4720, only to be damaged more than gain by ALD's weaponized expansion against them in Copityar.
This week, ALD are expanding to Ch'iang Fei and Winters are expanding into recently shed HIP 53719(Torval). Both expansions should see heavy action.

#Patreus Cycle 155 was quiet and slow for Patreus. Things were fortified and opposed; Winters were soundly defeated in Nialfi, and Yuri Grom outprepped Hudson for a chance to expand into former Patreus controlled LTT 8260 with the Patreus seal of approval.
This week looks a lot busier with plenty of pews to go around for everyone. Winters are trying their hand at the long contested HR 4720 with now favourable odds, Yuri Grom are expanding into LTT 8260 with very favourable triggers, ALD are weaponizing against Winters in Copityar with very favourable triggers, Aisling are expanding into Runapa and finally, we're weaponizing against all the Federation things in Luyten 205-128. Whew, that sure did go on for a while.
Our weaponized expansion in Luyten 205-128 will be heavily contested; it is absolutely devastating to Federal economies and targets both Winters and Hudson. Expect Federation presence in system, as well as being heavily opposed by them right from the off.
Plenty to do this week. Get to it, Commanders.

Luyten 205-128 [Patreus Expansion] Earn merits in system by dropping into the Military Strikes around the system, or earn merits via the off-nav method by destroying non-imperial aligned NPC PP ships. Hand in at any of our control systems - V394 Pegasi would be the best place to drop, restock and redeploy. Expect hostile ships in both systems.
HR 4720[Winters Expansion] Earn merits in system by destroying Fed-Aid and Federal Agent ships in supercruise, or by using the off-nav beacon method. Hand in merits earned at any of our control systems.

Cycle 154 was a tough week all around, fellow Patreuts.
You all fought hard. You all fought well. Once again our power punched above it's weight and pulled up some great numbers in our attempt to resecure LTT 8260 into our domain, but alas this time wasn't meant to be. Unfortunately we couldn't win against the combined might of three other powers heavily opposing our expansion and we failed to gain LTT 8260 this week. C'est la vie.
On top of this, last minute resources were diverted from our expansion when we detected a Federation snipe building up in our core systems. Had we continued to push the expansion, we would likely have been placed in turmoil by our Federation adversaries, and ended up failing both the expansion and placing further key systems in danger. Sometimes, it's better the devil you know than the devil you don't, and the decision was made to focus on securing our systems first and foremost. We may not have taken LTT 8260, but we're not in turmoil either.
Elsewhere, Aisling secured her expansion. Torval shed 4 systems and sadly remains in turmoil and Winters was once again knocked back in HR 4720. This week, Winters are attempting to weaponize against ALD in Nialfi against favourable odds and ALD are weaponizing against Winters in Ostyat.
This week we'll be focusing on securing our systems and assisting ALD in opposing Nialfi.

#Patreus
Well, we've done it. After outprepping Winters near Christmas to cover Kavalliyala for our ally Aisling Duval, we can add another impressive feat to our small communities ever growing list - we outprepped Hudson for LTT 8260! LTT 8260 was recently shed by Patreus in the massive Federation offensive two cycles ago, with the Federation attempting to capitalise on this loss by trying to expand there themselves. Things looked perilous on Wednesday night when Hudson at one point had a 30k lead over us, but Patreus pilots proved yet again that we're the little power that can punch well above our weight.
Torval entered turmoil, with 1 decent system on the chopping block, 2 so-so systems and 1 deficit causing system.
Elsewhere, Winters outprepped ALD for the heavily contested HR 4720. Whilst disappointing, the expansion should yet again be easily defeated by combined imperial forces this cycle and making the federal preperation of this sphere appear to be a decision based on spite against ALD, rather than sound calculations to the benefit to Winters, the operating efficiency of the power and their commanders valuable play time.
Finally, we have an expansion in LTT 8260, and we will require all combat hands here this cycle. We may have outprepped the Federation, but their combat forces have the numbers against us and we shouldn't take our lowered trigger for granted - this is going to be a tough fight. Fight hard, because you can count on the Feds working against uswith just as much dedication.
Let's knuckle down and do this, Patreuts.

#Patreus We've exited Turmoil.
What a week. Seriously, you guys are awesome.
After a surprise attack by the Federation, our enemies were expected to follow this up last cycle to ensure that Patreus lost control of the systems in turmoil - LTT 8260 and Picaurukan. As expected, the Federation followed up with a near blanket undermine of Patreus's control systems, a no frills, brute force approach that has been used before against our allies to varying levels of success. Dispite a significant effort in the last 48 hours, the Federation simply couldn't force us to drop both. We may be enemies in game, but the numbers our adversaries pulled against us were not insignificant and we are nonetheless impressed by the attempt and respect the hard work they also did to try and oppose us.
Perhaps unexpectedly to the Federation, Patreus commanders responded by fortifying every single one of the Senators systems. Patreus commanders moved 240,000 tons of fortification supplies to our garrisons and when we could move no more, we hunted out the Federation underminers one by one. More than a few were sent back to Federal space lighter on the pocket and merits.
Ultimately, the numbers were against us and we have ceded control of LTT 8260 for now, but Patreus Planning believes that the actual damage to our economy is token and will be easily recouperated. Had it not been for every fine commander under the Senators employ, this result could have been different. The combined group effort is testament to how great our community is and how dedicated to the Admirals cause they are.
Patreus remains lean, mean, keen and defended. We at Patreus planning are honoured to fly with such an awesome bunch of people.
Elsewhere, things were relatively quiet - with the exception of another unsurprising Winters defeat in HR 4720. #Combat

What an interesting week in powerplay!
Winters attempt to expand into heavily-controlled ALD space at Nialfi was rebuffed by the combined might of the Empire in a last minute super special delivery - this was despite the triggers being slightly in the Federations favour. A solid performance, fellow Imperials!
Once again, it seems that Winters has plans on expanding into HR 4720 under the same set of circumstances as the last attempt, where she was defeated. We can only speculate that this is a mistake of some form, as this seems to be a waste of their commanders time and credits given how unfavourable to the Federation HR 4720 is.
We're in turmoil! A sneak attack saw a number of our systems stealthily undermined by the Federation and their friends. See below on how to assist the Senator in delivering high quality, high interest loans and Pastrami sandwiches to our control systems.

Well, it's been a while! A lot of internal changes have seen us a little quieter than usual, but we're back broadcasting live from Eotienses!
Steady fortification of our key systems has once again left the senators realm solid defensively, highlighting the importance of a strong defence alongside our regular combat programming. A lot happened in the final few hours of the last cycle - Winters last minute preparation of HR 4720 left us scratching our heads in wonder, whilst Aisling moved a staggering amount of preparation merits in medium sized ships to the far flung Gally Bese system. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Parties included in this agreement:
Newton’s Fusiliers and associated groups involved in the Coma War. Patreus Planning and associated Patreus-aligned and/or allied Imperial groups and commanders that follow Patreus Planning objectives.
With the goal of ending the Coma war, the above parties agree to the following:
NF controls Coma.
NF doesn't attack Patreus or Imperial assets (PowerPlay, PMFs, MFs).
NF doesn't control Ackerman.
NF expansions to be handled as follows:
If a Newton's expansion would threaten control of a system by a patronage or feudal faction, Newton's agrees to, if requested, offset this loss of favorability by installing a favorable government elsewhere in the control sphere.
If no further favorable governments are available, Newton's agrees not to take control of said favorable system.
Patreus will assist Newton's in achieving specific expansion objectives, if requested.
In the interest of building trust, Commanders on both sides will be coached on the following:
Disagreements and situations not covered by the terms of this Concordat will be arbitrated by CERBERUS. For this purpose, CERBERUS will maintain and administer a Coma Concordant discord.

I'm asking this as an Aisling Duval supporter, you guys kicked a hornets nest and non-powerplay players are going after folks in cubeo for being aligned with an imperial powerplay faction.
I'm just trying to get "home" and take my DBE out for a spin after delivering fortifications.
According to the guy I was talking with commander Misianovent is alleged to be spearheading the BGS move to kick Newtons Fusiliers out of their home system.
