One over-heating system: Maikoro.  Nothing else critical. Oya Maelstrom (#7) updates: fighting back an Alert in Huile (Complete!) and an Invasion in Gliese 9035 (84%).  Secondary target will be the Invasion in HIP 7338. Oya will have 3 or 4 active invasions next cycle…estimate 2 weeks to containment. Cycle 6 Starts Thursday (1/5) Maelstrom Report: 51 Alerts (-30), 38 Invasions (-12), 337 Controlled (+84), 18 in Recovery (+8) What we’ve learned: Alert mechanic likely very similar to BGS expansion…limited range (likely about 10-15LY from a controlled system). Invasions in the last week on the timer frequently have no active ports and no AXCZs…making them a pain. System recovery is 4 weeks, fixed length. Systems where the Invasion is repelled in the first week, only have a 1-week recovery state. All details in the #standing-orders and/or the #loose-screws-factions channels of the Discord.
