The Zosi Major Corporation, an independent organisation based in the Zosi system, has placed an open order for thermic alloys, chemical manipulators and industrial firmware. According to the organisation's spokesperson, the resources will be used in an unspecified research and development project.

Dr Arkady Cole, the organisation's chief research scientist, released the following statement:

"We want the resources, yes? Very useful to us. Process is simple. Deliver the resources and be paid. Yes."

Despite the opaque nature of the request, it is likely the generous reimbursements offered by the Zosi Major Corporation will ensure its orders are met. Participating pilots have been instructed to deliver the requested commodities to Citi Enterprise in the Zosi system.

The campaign begins on the 10th of November and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

This report presents the latest data on health issues among the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to experience famine:

Fusang Fortune Commodities

Kvenland Services

Laedla and Co

Bubii Rats

Hatmehit Purple Crew

Purungurawn Purple Society

Alpha Centauri Gold Brotherhood

Zeaex Flag

HR 3954 Crew

People's Changthini for Equality

When a faction is affected by famine the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases. Combat activity has no effect on influence while a famine is active. Completing food-trade missions can bring a famine to an end.

Here are the latest factions to experience an outbreak:

HIP 8593 Empire League

HIP 73428 Exchange

Green Party of HIP 103138

Kvenland Services

HR 3954 Crew

LHS 1387 Jet Mob

Waime Worker's Party

Dragons of HIP 1914

HIP 15545 Public Network

Ngandrusa Purple Boys

When a faction is affected by an outbreak the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases. Combat activity has no effect on influence while an outbreak is active. Completing medicine-supply missions can bring an outbreak to an end.

This report presents the latest data on the security status of the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to experience a lockdown:

Limapa Blue State Commodities

Ngaliba Blue Camorra

Zaragas Energy Corp.

Kokary Holdings

Apoyota Domain

Conservatives of HIP 41984

Oho Bajo Public Holdings

United Wat Yu Confederacy

Gabiko Front

Opala Power Commodities

When a faction experiences a lockdown, the security rating of the system it controls temporarily increases and the system's wealth temporarily decreases. Bounty hunting activity can shorten the lockdown period.

Here are the latest factions to experience civil unrest:

Quator Ring

Partnership of LHS 2819

League of HIP 3142

Nationalists of Aulin

Movement for LHS 463 Values Party

Anali Ltd

Gondul Free

LHS 535 Silver United Ltd

League of Ross 1015

Lei Mati Blue Allied Commodities

Civil unrest is the result of illegal activity. When a faction is affected by civil unrest, the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases, as does the system's wealth. Combat missions and activities can bring civil unrest to an end.

This report presents the latest data on the economic health of the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to experience an economic boom:

Colanja Gold Power Services

Brani Federal Holdings

Yakabugai Exchange

G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

Order of Ethgreze

Cemiess Commodities

Eravate Network

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

Zeessze Clan

Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

Boom is usually the result of consistent trade profit and completed trade contracts. When a faction experiences a boom, the wealth of the system it controls temporarily increases and trade missions completed in the system have double the effect on influence. The faction's influence may also increase. Booms typically last until they naturally expire.

Here are the latest factions to experience an economic bust:

HIP 1114 Progressive Party

Sorbacoc Society

Drug Empire of Caeresi

Salibi Mafia

Tun Netcoms Services

Progressive Party of Ambika

Noblemen of 17 Draconis

Krumandaqu Crimson Cartel

HIP 112753 Republic Party

Liberate Ceos

When a faction experiences a bust, the wealth of the system it controls is temporarily reduced and the faction's influence is temporarily diminished. Trade actions do not contribute to boom while a bust is active. A bust typically has to run its course before ending.

The Colonia Citizens Network has invited the galactic community to support Colonia by delivering much-needed food and equipment to the region and by transporting new settlers, as part of what is set to be one of the largest freight convoys in human history.

The Christmas Carriers Convoy will depart on the 2nd of December 3302, stopping at each outpost on the so-called Colonia highway, and arrive in Colonia in the first week of January. So far, nearly 150 pilots have signed up.

The Earth Defense Fleet, the 9th Legion, the Iridium Wing, SEPP and the Prismatic Imperium have all pledged pilots to protect the freighters for the duration of the trip.

Dalilah William, a citizen of Colonia Hub, said:

"We need more of the essentials that those in the core systems take for granted, which is why we're calling on traders and haulers to join the Christmas Carriers Convoy, and appealing to combat pilots to protect them."

A shipwreck bearing strong similarities to that recently found in the Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 has been discovered in the HIP 17862 system.

The wreck was found by one Commander Denneb on the airless planetoid 6 C A.

Images of the site, shared by the many independent explorers and scientists who flocked to investigate it, show an unconventional-looking vessel with a distinctly organic quality. Like the shipwreck found in the Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4, the wreckage encompasses a number of vaguely wing-like elements roughly arranged around an octagonal core.

The discovery has stimulated considerable debate among scientists and xenobiologists. So far, as with the previous shipwreck, no concrete information about the vessel's origin has emerged.

Commentators have observed that the ship bears no apparent signs of weapons damage, and that the concentrated debris field suggests the vessel was still intact when it hit the planet's surface.

This report presents the latest data on expansion and withdrawal among the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to have expanded into new systems:

Independents of Mildeptu

Zugen Incorporated

HIP 112052 Central Corporation

Zeus Bureau

HIP 114530 Guardians

Confederation of Dahan

Peng Dung Jet Creative Network

Independent

Eravapa Empire Group

Jaques

Expansions occur when a minor faction reaches a sufficient level of influence and there is a populated system within striking distance. Expansion is costly, so when a faction expands, the wealth and development level of the system it controls are temporarily reduced.

Here are the latest factions in withdrawal:

Colanja Gold Power Services

Eranin Peoples Party

The Pilots Federation

LHS 3505 Crimson Mafia1

Nasaraudi Jet Mob

Lao Zi Blue Fortune Corp.

Anduliga Empire Group

Allied Herthans Front

HIP 1003 Nobles

Priva Empire Group

Factions are considered to be in withdrawal if their level of influence within a system drops below a certain level. If the faction's influence remains low for a total of five days, the faction must leave the system entirely. If the faction manages to increase its level of influence, it remains in the system.
