2021-08-03 Update

SPSF has undergone a lot of changes since our past update. I want to apologize for the delay, I spent most of the past three weeks preoccupied with RL, but I wanted to give everyone an update on our activities.

With regards to the SPSF Tidal Force activities had slowed due to our recent Delegate election and transition as well as the administrative ban of Tidal Force Coordinator Melix. Following Melix's ban, I will be acting as interim Tidal Force coordinator and we will resume doing detagging, defensive piling, or anti-fascist missions as necessary/appropriate for our interests, and missions resumed as of yesterday. Hopefully, by the end of the term this can be moved off of the de facto plate of the Minister of Defense and back to a long-term trusted coordinator.

In relevant defending activity:

• The SPSF was involved in the failed defense and subsequent liberation of the region Nasunia, a trade-focused role playing region. This occupation was only accomplished via an act of espionage against our treaty allies 10000 Islands by The Black Hawks, and I wrote a report about the liberation here. I also refer the public to Minister of Foreign Affairs @Jay Coop's joint statement with 10000 Islands' Delegate Wischland here.
  
• Several newer SPSFers have been involved in regular missions recently. Beyond the expanded roster who participated in the liberation of Nasunia, I'd like to thank Floptop and Conexia for their participation in recent missions.
  
• Soldier @Moon has been set up for Officer Training, with meaningful training efforts expected later this week.
  
• Tag raiders have been increasingly active in the past week, and SPSF and its allies have been similarly active in combatting their efforts.
  
• Since the last update, separately from Nasunia, a small LWU raiding party attempted an occupation on Major 7/18 which was successfully repelled
  

In terms of infrastructure, priorities remain the same for the near future: upgrading our Dispatches and completing the member-specific record keeping system.
