The Aramzahd Empire Party has announced that its appeal for commodities for the Gathering 3302 has received the wholehearted support of the galactic community. Hundreds of pilots responded to the organisation's request for rare foods and alcohol, resulting in a massive influx of deliveries to the Norman–Mavis's Bingo Palace starport.

The organisation has also confirmed that its campaign to clear the Aramzahd system of agitators was equally successful, thanks to the many independent combat pilots who supported the operation. Those planning to attend the event will now be able to do so in safety.

Pilots who supported the campaigns are now free to collect their rewards from Norman–Mavis's Bingo Palace in the Aramzahd system.

Gyvatices Crimson Advanced Holdings has announced plans to hold a special commemorative event for the late entrepreneur Walter Waldo.

Waldo, who passed away last week, was the founder of Wonderful Walter's Fish and Coffee Emporium, a popular galactic franchise.

A spokesperson for GCAH released the following statement:

"Walter was a keen fisherman and a true coffee connoisseur, so what better way to celebrate his life than with a fish and coffee festival. We've placed an open order for fish and coffee in support of the event, and set aside a generous reserve for pilots who deliver these commodities to Walter Dock."

The campaign begins on the 20th October 3302 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 democratic activity among the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to hold elections:

Belenses Services

Lu Yupik Creative Network

Zeta Tucanae Legal Ltd

LP 844-28 Travel Company

Lambayeque Corporation

Kelin Samba Guardians

Lao Yanes Co-op

Alliance of Lao Yanes

Official Juipek Dominion

LTT 14850 Purple Allied Int

Elections occur when two minor factions with a similar political structure resolve a conflict over ownership and influence within a system.

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:

Peraesii Jet Vision Company

Defence Party of LFT 926

United LFT 601 Labour

Gang of Aerial

Liu Baja Exchange

Bureau of HIP 47328

Enayex Movement

Mikir Crimson Natural and Co

Orishpucho Jet Hand Gang

Kanos Solutions

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:

Egovae Gold Legal Limited

HR 1475 Allied Solutions

BD+29 2405 Autocracy

LHS 3802 Partnership

Fotla Empire League

Wyrd Raiders

Svalinn Silver Rats

Traditional LTT 15985 Focus

Epsilon Eridani Future

Coelrind Gold Mob

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:

Vanayequi Independents

Federal Congress

Annarr Dynamic Corp.

LTT 874 Empire Assembly

Hu Jona Natural Systems

Jeterait Bridge Interstellar

Beta-1 Tucanae Empire Consulate

Futhark Empire Assembly

HIP 111755 Commodities

Kikua Jet Vision Organisation

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:

Ryder Revolutionary Party

Hojin Blue Dragons

LTT 1345 Gold Energy Inc

Aditi Jet Universal Interstellar

Aditi Crimson Energy Inc

V2151 Cygni Independents

Allied Tauernonese Dominion

Kremainn First

Yembo Blue Clan

Apoyota Alliance

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.

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:

Shaplintin Labour

Democrats of LTT 9104

Bureau of HR 827 Constitution Party

HIP 14676 Dominion

Kokopatji Gold Fortune Exchange

Progressive Party of Gullveti

Future of Guayambaan

Wiknariu Industries

Angelic Church of Messi

Menero Kimi Empire Group

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:

Urd Confederation

Latugara Society

Nurundere Labour

Ualangur Gold Comms Corp.

Jolagro Dragons

Movement for LHS 28 for Equality

Ross 1003 Prison Colony

Pacalite Universal Systems

CD-47 990 Company

Umbrogo Partnership

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.

Kahina Tijani Loren has been stripped of the rank of senator for delegating her responsibilities in respect of the Prism system to Ambassador Cuthrick Delaney in 3301.

An aide for Admiral Denton Patreus said: "Loren gave up her senatorial responsibilities, so it's unreasonable that she continue to be protected by the title. Frankly, she shouldn't be described as a 'lady', either, but we will let the courts make that determination."

This means Loren will now be tried based on the laws of her nominated home system, which is of course the Prism system. Loren has been moved from Achenar and is presumed to be en route to Prism, under guard.

While Prism remains under the supervision of Ambassador Cuthrick Delaney, it is heavily exploited by Admiral Patreus. Patreus's aide said: "Those without a proper appreciation of due process might believe there is a conflict of interest, given Admiral Patreus's influence in Prism, but we can ensure the galactic community that Imperial law will be followed to the letter."

Latugara PLC, which recently launched a successful campaign to establish a series of outposts between the Colonia Nebula and the core systems, has announced where the new outposts will be built. The name of each outpost has also been revealed.

The complete list is as follows:

Hillary Depot – Blu Thua AI-A c14-10, planet A 4 A

Amundsen Terminal – Lagoon Sector NI-S b4-10, planet 1

Eagle's Landing – Eagle Sector IR-W d1-117, planet 2 A

Sacaqawea Space Port – Skaudai CH-B d14-34, planet 1 A

Gagarin Gate – Gru Hypue KS-T d3-31, planet 4

Polo Harbour – Boewnst KS-S c20-959, planet A 2 A

Construction is expected to begin within the next few weeks.

The Earth Expeditionary Fleet has announced plans to mount a bold expedition beyond the Perseus Arm to find two stellar objects in the Cassiopeia constellation first noted by Earth astronomers in the distant past.

"The Cassiopeia Project differs from other expeditions," said Commander Finn McMillan. "We will attempt to locate two supernova remnants, which have yet to be found despite numerous attempts from independent explorers. Our targets are Cassiopeia A and Tycho's Star."

"This is not space tourism. The expedition to Cassiopeia A will take us into an area of space referred to as the Formidine Rift, which before the advent of the frame shift drive had a reputation as a kind of Bermuda Triangle. Few who venture into the Rift return to tell the tale."

The expedition is expected to depart from Chi Orionis in the first week of November 3302.
