The dual Federal powers of Archer (29) and Winters (21)  fight each other as much as anyone else, and Archer has a lead of 9 strongholds against winters. Of the Independent powers, LYR (40) and Mahon(30) ,have the lead in stronghold systems followed closely by Antal (27) Kaine (27) and Grom (25) , with Delain (20) bringing up a still close last. Note: All of the “last place” powers amongst the Feds, and independents, still have more stronghold systems than Zemina Torval (9) , and Denton Patreus (10).  Almost all of the powers can be contacted directly to coordinate with their members by joining their discords (links on Inara), or looking up the respective power’s subreddit.  Galnet Update: https://community.elitedangerous.com/  Titan Cocijo Destroyed, Sol Liberated (presumably from the Feds, thank you thargoids) - Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site Thargoid war update: https://dcoh.watch/ Cocijo controls a single corpse, in low Earth orbit. 6 systems (Including Sol) in recovery, you can haul to help those systems recover, or coordinate with Operation Ida: Operation Ida Dev News:  FU - Frontier Unwrapped - Questions about Colonization Cash outlay is meaningful but not fleet carrier levels The real cost is construction cargo Claims can’t be locked - you have 2 attempts to fulfil a claim before you are paused Only one claim at a time No system upkeep Architect is named and permanent The controlling faction in the source system is the one that colonizes You can’t permit lock the system.
