Over the past few days, private military contractors the Diamond Frogs have been hard at work on Operation: Mistle Toad, a concentrated effort to deliver personal gifts to the Santa Muerte system. A notable highlight of the campaign came when DF Commander Doot stopped by in an Imperial Cutter packed to the gills with 704 tonnes of personal gifts...twice!

Just a day before the planned close of the event, the combined efforts of the Diamond Frogs and other pilots resulted in a final tally of 250,000 tonnes of personal gifts. Moreover, the event organisers announced they have launched an initiative to give new members of the Pilots Federation a brand-new Faulcon DeLacey Viper Mk IV. This is in addition to a substantial cash reward for those who helped brighten up the season, to the tune of up to 100 million credits for the top 5% of contributors.

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 12,327 minor factions currently enjoying an economic boom:

LHS 1798 Gold Life Systems

Earls of Miritu

Iktomisi Advanced Group

Cartel of Cebalrai

Herfjongo Independent League

Allied HIP 113103 Dominion

Kutjalangai Allied and Co

Turd Wura Corp.

Togher Movement

HR 755 Electronics Commodities

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.

Here are 10 of the 950 factions currently experiencing economic bust:

Santjalan Labour

Bureau of LHS 6027 Liberty Party

Glusargiz Energy Exchange

CD-66 2585 Purple Cartel

Wolf 1458 Society

Aurgel Silver Hand Gang

Svanticani Purple Public Prtnrs

HIP 24968 Energy Corp.

Wuluwait Boys

CD-70 19 Public Incorporated

The wealth of a system diminishes while in bust and the minor faction's influence is also lessened. The effect of trade contracts and actions do not contribute to boom while a bust is active. A bust generally has to run its course before ending.

Each week, GalNet presents a list of 10 of the 1,708 minor factions currently expanding into new systems.

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.

This weekly transmission lists some of the systems currently in conflict around the galaxy, based on the latest data.

Here are 10 of the 15,533 minor factions involved in a civil war:

United Jonai Worker's Party

Jonai Interstellar

Bureau of Ga Gu Constitution Party

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 5,890 minor factions at war:

Traditional Alkabalavs Freedom Party

HIP 18714 Electronics Holdings

Ross 765 Systems

Workers of Hach Resistance

Brazilian League of Pilots

HIP 5623 Empire Group

Ross 112 Industry

LTT 11103 Jet Legal Corporation

League of Ishtar

LP 308-10 Blue Electronics

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.
