Numbers decreasing

My prediction did not pan out - the raspite goal is not yet completed. The rate at which mining is going on has dropped significantly. Not just for raspite, but also for the other mining goals, crokite and dark ochre.

I think this is related to the insurgency, at least for the latter two. The good crokite and dark ochre belts in the Bleak Lands are right where a new Angel insurgency is blossoming. Other places have been mined out and we will have to wait for those belts to replenish. As for the raspite, I have no clear view why it slowed. Perhaps we are starting to feel the upper limit of the number of pilots still wanting to participate to our efforts?

While here in Amarr we worry, meanwhile there have been fireworks displays in Dodixie and Luminaire, as the Federation reached their goals. 

This should be a morale boost for the Gallenteans, who under president Aguard had to face some failiures and scandals. The new president, Alix Moreau, begins her term under a better star and makes true on her promise to harness the power of drones for the Federation. Soon, new mining drones will be made available from their navy. They will also assert their link to the Intaki via a new jump gate connection.
