The Powerplay cycle and Galactic Standings.
Detailed information about each Power and communications links for their player groups.
Data from EDSM including game server status and information on systems, markets, shipyards and more.
Data from INARA including Community Goals and Commander profiles.

EDlib conforms to .Net Standard 2.0 making it compatible with .Net Framework, .Net Core and .Net 5 and has been used for CLI, desktop, Xamarin Forms and Azure Functions projects.

Installation
