The Union of Contested Systems
The campaign in Perrigen Falls now lists five systems under active ihub defense: 1A8-6G, 4F9Y-3, 5-U12M, 5V-Q1R, and U-3FKL. The first observation, six snapshots ago, had a single contested system and an attacker score of 68. Today the attacker average is 37, the defender average is 64, and the sovereignty map has not changed. The front is wider, but the push is weaker.
Three Defenders, Three Separate Fronts
The campaign area names three defenders: Brotherhood of Spacers, Celestial Palace., and STAKAN UNIVERSE. Each holds its own separate front. Celestial Palace. holds the leading front with two systems in a moderate-intensity campaign (defender score 60, attacker 40) and is 153 hours old. STAKAN UNIVERSE holds another two systems at moderate intensity with a stronger defender score of 71 against 30, and its front is the oldest at 162 hours. Brotherhood of Spacers holds just one system in a low-intensity campaign that is only two hours old - a fresh contest against a backdrop of older, grinding fronts.
A Timeline of Shifting Systems and Falling Pressure
Across the six observations, the contested list has churned even though sovereignty has not. RZ3O-K was contested in the first two snapshots, then dropped off the active list. 0XN-SK appeared mid-week, held for two observations, and then disappeared. 5-U12M appears only in the latest snapshot. Meanwhile the attacker score fell from 68 to 49, to 35, and now sits at 37. The systems rotate, the pressure drops, and the defenders hold.
What an Ihub Defense Event Means
Every system on this list is flagged as an ihub defense, not as a captured system or a battle report. That means the infrastructure is contested and defenders must actively counter entosis attempts. The attacker score is a pressure gauge, not a progress bar: at 37 against 64, the attackers are applying less force now than when the first system appeared. No sovereignty has changed hands, and no system has been lost or gained. The contest is about endurance, not quick conquest.
A Static Map, A Shifting Contest
The campaign's footprint grew from one system to five, but the sovereignty map is unchanged. That is the most revealing detail: the front can widen without a single flag moving, because ihub defenses are ongoing contests of reinforcement and counter-entosis. The defenders' average of 64 is comfortable but not final, and the latest attacker score ticked up two points to 37. The work of holding the map continues, and the colouring has not changed.
