Galnet News

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.

Two weeks ago, the Imperial Internal Security Service discovered 'shadow' cells belonging to the insurgent organisation Emperor's Dawn in the Dakshmandi, Ipilyaqa and Ch'i Lin systems. Military fleets were swiftly despatched to the pertinent systems to destroy the last remaining vestiges of Emperor's Dawn. But recent reports indicate that the campaign may not be going quite as well as the Empire hoped. An Imperial pilot stationed in Dakshmandi spoke briefly with a correspondent from the Imperial Herald:

"The insurgents may be resilient, but their days are numbered. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. It might take a little longer than planned, but Emperor's Dawn is going down, I can promise you that."

The Empire is understood to have sent reinforcements to the Dakshmandi, Ipilyaqa and Ch'i Lin systems to support its forces.

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 1,151 minor factions in lockdown:

Milpiriyo Vision Commodities

New Boreas Union

V492 Lyrae Purple Dragons

LHS 1167 Blue Brothers

Lu Yupik Creative Network

GD 69 League

Quan Gurus Crimson Public Ltd

Defence Force of Wheemehimo

Kagudi Front

Gatoborod Partners

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 1,141 minor factions experiencing civil unrest:

Gun Jet Netcoms Inc

Nysa Exchange

Hamal Hand Gang

Ch'u Ti Co

Bandjigali Jet Creative Network

Scorpions Order

New Unktomi Democrats

Atropos Major Network

Bang Vision Services

Labour of V902 Centauri

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.

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 12,154 minor factions currently enjoying an economic boom:

HIP 29964 Natural Limited

Ocairi Inc

Values Party of Wei Jung

Future of Durok

Wunjo Independent Union

LTT 12058 Values Party

Waricare Group

Siaroju Gold Posse

Lahara Allied Network

Thiana United Group

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 600 factions currently experiencing economic bust:

Njorog Democrats

Furbaide Syndicate

Pand Inc

Wandjin Boys

Wolf 896 Crimson Crew

Official Rajukru Party

LHS 1446 Blue Partnership

League of George Pantazis Defence Force

HIP 101846 Crimson Fortune

Integrated Qahat

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.
