We’ve come to a meeting of the minds with our neighbor, the After Dark Initiative, and we’re harmonizing our Power Play and BGS activities as best we can. 

BGS has basically 3 4 themes currently - 

Retaking to control of lost systems like TT 58343, Maikoro and NLTT 1139 - home of Spanky, the official white dwarf of LSN;

 Beating down our overheating systems and boosting our stragglers, 

winning strategic conflicts (we will let you know which ones we care about)

Operation New Horizons - Our expansion -> colonization program taking us out of the Bubble.Two BGS bugs of note. The system expansion/retreat bug has been corrected. However a new bug discovery is being tested. Oblivious has the details.
