Squad Update: 

• We have overheating systems

• Wars and Elections, Miola is the priority. We want to leave LTT 17102 and Balmus alone. 

• We are expanding again, probably from LA, probably to Calarum - I’m in the black

• Our new system, Maidubii needs a boost

• We’re trying to push Semakhmets and the top faction in Gliese 9016 into expansion (eventually for the former).
