All that being said, getting top 10 nowadays isn't too terribly difficult. There's someone in my shard who does it regularly with a FO fleet. Lately I've been able to get top 10 with decent consistency, with a Chimaera fleet. And my Iden and 2nd Sis are only g11, with 5* ships. One zeta on Thrawn, and my Shuttle and Sith Bomber are only 5* too. Imagine how much better it would be with full relic pilots and max star ships! Even with a sea of Executors out there, it's pretty obtainable to players who aren't whales, as long as they're active and participate in Conquest. Can't do much against Profundity at this point, but thankfully there's not too many on my shard (yet).

My shard is probably not the strongest out there, but also I don't think it's the weakest either, probably pretty middle of the road.
