|Est. 1 merit per 15,620 CR of bounty voucher

|

|-

|Collect Escape Pods

|0

|Removed from Powerplay as of 30/4/2025.<ref name=":0" /> Before its removal, this activity awarded 22 merits per damaged escape pod and 39 merits per occupied escape pod.

|-

|Complete Aid and Humanitarian Missions

|Complete reboot missions in systems that your Power controls.

|

|-

|Hand in Biological Research Samples

|Collect Biological Samples and deliver them to a Power contact in systems your Power controls.

|Est 1 merit per 2,531,000 CR of exobio data, NOT including first catalogued bonus

|Tested by CMDR DSS Lev (Archon Delaine) turning in exobio data at Littrow Enterprise in Nirros (Archon Fortified). Note that due to the size of these numbers and the limited sample size, this is liable to change fairly significantly, though the R-squared on the linear regression was 0.9976.
