The focus of last cycle was again on Dictator Yuri Grom and the Pirate King Archon Delaine. Delaine was already in turmoil, and successfully shed three loss-making systems: Panjabell, Oxlahatta and Hiranyaksha, saving him a total of 222 Command Capital (CC) per cycle. Delaine remains at negative CC with the…

Last cycle resulted in some contrasting situations for Dictator Yuri Grom and Pirate King Archon Delaine. Delaine’s forces entered turmoil with three systems on the brink of revolt, while Grom started expanding to four new systems.
