Coalition of Ngaliba

Union of Sowiio Green Party

LP 811-17 Gold Energy Partners

Ross 490 Mafia

Liberty Party of Theta Indi

Shongbon Society

United Wat Yu Confederacy

Galactic News: Weekly Economic Report

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

Limapa Blue State Commodities

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

Uru Federal Interstellar

Avan Labour Union

Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

Lords of Ngaliba

Potriti Gold Mafia

Cemiess Commodities

Orrere Ring

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:

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

LHS 535 Silver United Ltd

League of Ross 1015

Alacha Purple Society

Dragons of Neche

Vesuvit Galactic Industries

Etznabal Silver Boys

Comanga Crimson Crew

Andhi Liberals

Progressive Party of Wolf 433

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.

Galactic News: Weekly Expansion Report

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:

HIP 114044 Empire Group

Jaques

Revolutionary Abazates Democrats

Chi Eridani Crimson Travel and Co

New Arnemil Liberals

Xhosag Imperial Society

Monoto Commodities

LP 350-75 Fortune Company

Konorubang Shared

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:

Independents of Mildeptu

Gitxsan Limited

Autocracy of Phi Gruis

Ambivas Power Partners

LHS 3598 Transport Group

Regulatory State of Kausan

Smethells 119 Front

LTT 700 Jet Major Holdings

Baraswar Crimson Vision Ltd

Wolf 294 Industry

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.

Combat activity between the two warring factions determines the outcome of the conflict. If neither faction succeeds in dominating the other, the war ends in a ceasefire.

Community Goal: Putting LP 339-7 on the Map

Dr Lewis Chapman, CEO of the Starship Enterprises Corporation, has announced plans to transform the LP 339-7 system into a popular tourist destination.

To achieve this, the Starship Enterprises Corporation intends to establish a wildlife reserve on the planet LP 339-7 4 A. The reserve will be occupied by various cloned Earth animals, genetically tailored to suit their environments, created by the Starship Enterprises Corporation.

In support of this project, the corporation has placed an open order for progenitor cells, animal monitors, aquaponic systems, atmospheric processors, land enrichment systems and advanced medicines. The organisation has also placed a kill order on all wanted ships operating in LP 339-7, to ensure that those contributing commodities to the campaign can do so safely.

The campaign begins on the 15th of December 3302 and will run for one week.

Galactic News: Order Restored in Aeternitas

Rewards for those who contributed to the initiative are now available for collection at Houtman City.
