Explorers' Association Appeal Successful
18 Nov 3301
The Explorers' Association has announced that the third stage of its ambitious starport project is complete. The materials needed for the final phase of construction have been delivered, and the finishing touches are now being applied to the Kaushpoos system's new Ocellus starport. A spokesperson for the Explorers' Association expressed satisfaction with the result, but stressed that the starport was not yet open for business:
"I want to take this opportunity to thank the many hundreds of independent pilots who supported this project, and helped make our dream a reality. There's still work to do, but we're on schedule to officially open the starport next month. We look forward to seeing you at the opening ceremony!"
In keeping with the public-spirited nature of the project, the name of the starport was decided by public vote. The result was 'Obsidian Orbital'.
Sirius Corporation Programme Ends Today
18 Nov 3301
Last week, the Sirius Corporation launched an initiative to boost the economy of the HIP 8396 system, which was recently brought under its control. The initiative was underpinned by an open contract for osmium, which contractors were asked to deliver to Stepping Stone Base. The response to the appeal was positive, with hundreds of miners taking to their ships to gather resources for the people of HIP 8396. Li Yong-Rui, the CEO of Sirius Corp., expressed his satisfaction at the response:
"The pilots who contributed to this initiative have performed a great service, and proved that the people of this galaxy are motivated as much by altruism as by the promise of reward. We are all humanitarians at heart."
It is expected that the Sirius Corporation will announce the next initiative in its multi-system revitalisation programme soon.
GalNet Weekly Health Hotspots
18 Nov 3301
This weekly report typically covers some of the minor factions experiencing significant health issues, such as famine and outbreaks. At the time of writing, however, outbreaks have not been reported among any minor factions.
GalNet Weekly Powers Update Incoming
18 Nov 3301
In the early hours of tomorrow morning (7.00am GMT), the GalNet monitoring of powers' activities will go offline for a short period while the latest data is assembled.
Any pilots who operate for one of the powers must deliver any cargo or vouchers before this time to ensure their activities are registered.
GalNet Weekly Security Digest
17 Nov 3301
In this weekly report, the latest GalNet data is assembled to present ten minor factions experiencing civil unrest or lockdown in their systems.
Here are 10 of the 1,893 minor factions in lockdown:
Vash Domain
Lovedu Blue Major Inc
Kratakak Group
Cailli Purple Electronics Org
Polecteri Justice Party
League of Cybele
Giltine Network
Partnership of LTT 9315
Bacap Nobles
Tegidana Liberty Party
Lockdowns increase the security rating for a system but also have a negative effect on the system's wealth. Increased bounty hunting activity can shorten the lockdown period.
Here are 10 of the 1,767 minor factions experiencing civil unrest:
NLTT 5871 Shared
Huiche Future
Traditional LTT 7330 League
LHS 2150 Purple Electronics Serv
Kareco Crimson Mob
Paesi Empire Consulate
Independent Raniyan for Equality
Aitvara Industry
League of Turbacobo Conservatives
Cartel of Alacagui
Civil unrest is caused by illegal activity within the system as well completing contracts from more nefarious sources. The wealth rating and standard of living will suffer when a system contains civil unrest. Combat missions and activities can be utilised to end civil unrest.

Market Value of Unknown Artefacts Increases
16 Nov 3301
The Money Matters news feed has reported that the market value of the mysterious unknown artefacts has dramatically increased. The report neglects to include specific figures, citing the "fluctuating nature" of the market, but does imply that the trade price has seen a significant upswing. According to Money Matters correspondent Roberta Unwin:
"The market value of a commodity can increase over time, of course, but dramatic spikes of this sort tend not to happen without a catalyst. Evidently, someone is paying a great deal for these objects. The question is: who?"
GalNet Weekly Economic Report
16 Nov 3301
In this weekly digest, the latest GalNet data is compiled to show the economic state of a short list of minor factions and the star systems they inhabit.
Here are 10 of the 7,434 minor factions currently enjoying an economic boom:
Nanter Company
United Ao Progressive Party
Shokwakw Future
LP 167-71 PLC
Wolf 54 Crimson Cartel
Manianscudo Energy Group
Social Wolf 333 Liberals
Blue Transport Exchange
Partnership of HIP 97567
Zeaex Flag
When in boom, the wealth of a system is increased for the duration and all trade missions have double the effect on influence. Boom can also positively increase a minor faction's influence. Boom can be entered by consistent trade profits and completed trade contracts. Booms tend to last until they naturally expire or until some other indicator takes precedence, such as famine.

GalNet Weekly Expansion List
14 Nov 3301
Each week, GalNet presents a list of 10 of the 5,880 minor factions currently expanding into new systems.
G 139-21 Limited
Confederation of Madngernobo
Brib Gold Legal Limited
Revolutionary Party of Narai
Kekenks Power Inc
Urhodiweu Blue Raiders
Nez Pelliri Gang
Vard Dynasty
Enbilulu Creative Limited
Future of MCC 549
Expansion occurs when a minor faction reaches a sufficient influence rating and there is a populated system within striking distance. The act of expansion is a costly one, and the wealth and development rating suffers during the period of expansion.
Data is correct at time of publishing.
A Week in Powerplay
13 Nov 3301
Zachary Hudson secured expansions in three systems this week. AF Leporis, DP Camelopardalis, Kaushpoos, and Li Jungu all became bases for the Federation's fleets. AF Leporis has been a point of contention for many weeks due to its strategic location, and will provide a valuable staging point for future operations in the region.
Edmund Mahon welcomed Sabikami and Gui Banni into the Alliance's list of preferred trade partners after successful negotiations were concluded early Thursday morning. News of additional trade agreements is expected in a week's time.
Arissa Lavigny-Duval's Shield of Justice busily distributed garrison supplies to her control systems, ensuring a comfortable command capital reserve for further expansion of Imperial justice. No new systems were added to the Emperor's list of protected systems this week.
Felicia Winters focused primarily on distributing aid packages to systems in need this week. There were no additional systems that pledged their support to the Liberal party, but 41 Lambda Hydrae, Elycoch, and HIP 38747 are currently prime candidates for future Liberal strongholds.
Li Yong-Rui added MET 20 to the Sirius portfolio this week. The coming week brings the promise of potential acquisitions in the T'ien Mu and Dhak systems. Some concern has been expressed about the profitability of recent and future acquisitions, but markets are still trading Sirius stock at a premium.
Aisling Duval experienced both the loss of HIP 116045 and the acquisition of HIP 3603 during the past week, leaving the count of systems in support of the People's Princess at sixty-one. Aisling now enjoys a modest reserve that will allow her to gain favor in at least one more system in the near future.
Zemina Torval acquired controlling assets in Kalana during the past week, increasing the number of systems in her portfolio to fifty-three. Negotiations are currently underway for a potential acquisition of HIP 107936, a system which may prove to be another bad acquisition for the senator's enterprises.
Denton Patreus is running a deficit resulting from last week's high administrative costs that could not be offset by sufficient funds and supplies delivered to local security forces.The size of Patreus' territory is clearly too large for the senator to sustain long-term.
Archon Delaine secured a new stronghold in 10 Kappa Pegasi this week, but Kumo Crew sponsored insurrections in Yu Di Yi and VVO 19 were suppressed. Yuror, an Imperial system near Senator Patreus' territory, appears to be the Pirate Lord's focus this week.
Pranav Antal severed ties with Ahemez, Cao Yankir, HR 17, Kaurukat, Minerva, Takurua, and Xi Wang Mu this week. This purge of enclave systems was the first since Utopia's founding. The burden laid upon Utopian administrators is reportedly lighter this week, and optimism in Polevnic is running high.

GalNet Weekly Conflict Report
13 Nov 3301
This weekly transmission lists some of the systems currently in conflict around the galaxy, based on the latest data.
Here are 10 of the 14,117 minor factions involved in a civil war:
Lung Industry
Kogich One
Bureau of Xerebaye League
Green Party of Lung
HIP 74930 Ltd
HIP 74930 Jet Gang
Epsilon-2 Arae Nobles
Tawiru Family
League of Tawiru
HIP 42532 Bridge Limited
Civil wars involve conflict between minor factions in the same system over ownership of major assets such as starports. During civil wars, only combat missions and activities help bring the conflict to a resolution. Security, development level and standard of living indicators all drop for the duration of the civil war.
Here are 10 of the 4,278 minor factions at war:
Noblemen of V774 Herculis
Chukchisalk United
Hou Chema Gold Clan
New CD-30 9687 for Equality
Oraon Legal Systems
HIP 108598 Empire Party
LHS 547 Services
HR 4373 Liberals
V775 Herculis Transport Inc
Kunie Corp.
Wars occur when a minor faction invades another star system. For the duration of the conflict, wealth, security and standard of living are all severely impacted. Combat missions and activities determine who wins the war. If no winner emerges, the war ends in a ceasefire.
