SITREP – Operation: Green Star Shines on Southern Lands
November 23rd 2025

After six months of planning across Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan, and Taiwan over 200 ENL Agents united to push the limits of the current link cap.

The result? Limit reached
7,382 links were anchored to the Portal The Spinny Thingy before the servers refused to take more, throwing Faction Errors and heavy lag.
The total link distance was about 3.33M km! That's 83 trips around the Earth, 4 times the journey to the moon and back or 11 light-seconds!
In the end, the total MU count was about 870M MU spread across the 24 layers of the Operation!

A spoofer strike tried to derail the op, but teams rebuilt instantly. From intel and logistics to agents hiking mountains and clearing blocks in the wind, cold and mud, this victory was carved from dedication and teamwork.

Congratulations to ENL Agents @ming1129 (Planner), @CraZerG, @stillkevin, @xana233, and 200+ Agents who made the Green Star shine!

The Intel Map and the Mission Creator Tool are currently having issues with signing in. Brian has written on Bluesky that the team is investigating, but for now you should not sign out of the Intel Map if you are still logged in. The Mission Creator Tool is out of order completely for now as it signs you out automatically pretty quickly in contrast to the Intel Map.

A (seemingly) separate issue that Agents are reporting also is that actions taken in the Scanner are not counting towards Bounties, both Daily Bounties and Campaign Bounties (Redux). At the moment we don't know yet if Niantic Spatial is aware of this issue.

@IUENG_Extra

For years, you’ve asked for more space.
Now, through XM cognitive enhancement, you can carry more resonators, mods, weapons — more of everything you need to operate in the field.

#Ingress

Niantic has released Version 3.1.1 into the App Stores!

In addition to C.A.R.G.O. (which is interestingly not listed in the Update Notes itself) are a few changes to the Portal Key list, adding a new condensed view to show more Keys at once, as well as the option to collapse Campaign Details.

A few fixes also made it in, fixing a few bugs related to the Redux Campaign and Medals as well as fixing a bug in which Glyphs were not shown during the Overclock result screen.

💚 ENLIGHTENED ONLY — CALL TO ARMS 💚

Shard in Élancourt on Saturday 13/12/2025. We roll in, pull out the power banks, the creaky knees, and we lock everything down.
The RES? Let them stay on the sidewalk — this is a green op, period.

📍 Élancourt 🇫🇷
📅 Before the Shards pop (so around 11:00 / 11:30, location TBA)

Objectives:
– Capture, link… without throwing our backs out 😁
– Play fast, clean, efficient
– Show the blues what enlightenment really means
– Keep the Shard moving with precision AND style.

ENL agents available: speak up.
We’re coming. We paint. We control. 💚

The schedule for covert operations in January, February, and March is now established: https://ingress.com/news/2026-q1-events/

A new Dispatch Campaign is inbound: Operation Polaris!

This Campaign has appeared in the Scanners of Agents in regions that are past midnight. Due to that we can assume that this Campaign will start next Tuesday at midnight. It will seemingly feature Bounties to complete and will award the Operation Polaris medal upon completion.

The name "Polaris" was already revealed by Brian to be for an upcoming Event in a blog post he wrote at the start of this month:

And before we pay for more Ingress ads to get new downloads, I think we should see if we can keep players engaged with events like Redux, Solstice, Polaris, and upcoming Dispatch Challenges first.

We will let you know once the Ingress team officially announces the Event!

Are you on Android and have noticed the App Icon for Ingress looking a bit weird?

The reason for this seems to be that Android 16 handles icons for Apps differently than prior versions. Brian has mentioned on Reddit that a fix for the icon will be added in Ingress 3.2 which is currently scheduled for January of the new year.

C.A.R.G.O. is now available in the store!

@IUENG_Extra

The official Ingress merch shop was stocked up with a few items that the NIA has found in their vaults! This includes shirts, pins and cards with passcodes on them (JARVIS, NL-Prime etc.). Take a look around: https://ingressmerch.myshopify.com/collections/all

@IUENG_Extra

A small clarification was made to the weapon changes: While lower level XMPs will fire with the power of a L8, the original range will not be changed. If you want to destroy Portal farms with L1 XMPs, you'll need to get much closer to them than normal!
