Adding 11 new systems this cycle. A bad week for the imperials, with Torval going negative, 0 new additions for Emperor Arissa, and Patreus only 1 new system. Pretty subdued cycle overall, maybe still a hangover from the relics and enclave activity? Kaine is making a good run at taking P7 from Antal in the KrugerFive rankings. At the current pace Kaine may overtake in 2 cycles In the FDev leaderboard the real race right now is between Kaine and Archer for 6th place. Kaine took it 5 weeks back, but Archer is steadily coming back https://www.k5elite.com/ Dev News:  Devlog posted!
