Squad Update:

• War in HIP 4907, and an election (for control) in Lambda Andromedae
• 2 Critically over-heating systems: Ross 310 and 6 Andromedae
• We retreated from Yemaia…this is not a bad thing.
• We are shedding influence in Midgard with the goal of eventually retreating out (and making room for Ultragarnir)
• Oya Maelstrom update: victory in Liu Huang.  The priority target is now Muchihiks (and hopefully HIP 8525 after that).

All details in the #standing-orders and/or the #loose-screws-factions channels of the Discord.
