Cycle 62: https://k5elite.com/ 

• 
  

• Li Yong-Rui now not needing to defend against massive enclave undermining takes both the most progress and the most systems (+15)

• LYR takes the 4th spot for total number of exploited systems from Grom this week, with now over a 1000 exploited systems

• Emperor Arissa in 2nd for both with +9 new systems

• 
  

• Looking at progress across the holiday period since cycle 59 (since Dec 18):

• LYR gained the most points with Kaine close in 2nd

• Lot of good progress from all the powers, except Torval and Patreus at the bottom

• Torval has gained 0 systems over the holidays

• Patreus has gone -12 systems

Dev News (12/11): 

• Festive Drops - Snowfall Icicle - Snowflakes on a me-teal-ic background

• Festive Giveaways - 5 next week and 1 on the 22nd - Looks like each new ship will get a free skin in addition to weapons and the SRVs.
