At 7.00 am tomorrow morning (GMT), the monitoring of powers' activities will go offline for a short period while the latest data is assembled. Pilots who operate for one of the powers should deliver any cargo or vouchers before this time to ensure their activities are registered.

Liaedin Mafia

Traditional Auste Dominion

Apoyota Domain

Gliese 868 Services

i Bootis Central Limited

NLTT 7789 Exchange

Partnership of LHS 417

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

Social Zaragas Independents

New 31 Aquilae Green Party

Ross 754 Labour

Kokary Holdings

Labour of Ethgreze

Liberty Party of Zeessze

Panoi Holdings

Delphin Blue Federal PLC

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:

Natural Mehit Liberty Party

Sif League

Social Ngurii Revolutionary Party

Peacock Jet Society

Lords of Acihaut

Caraswang Gold Public Inc

Democrats of Masans

Leaders of Santal

Values Party of Orishpucho

V350 Canis Majoris Crimson Society

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:

Wolf 217 Left Party

Official Palengue Liberty Party

Matia Empire League

Jaques

Revolutionary Abazates Democrats

HIP 65921 Silver Bridge Systems

Noblemen of Vanayeb Hua

Egovi Dominion

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:

Zugen Incorporated

Ross 210 Pro-Alliance Party

LHS 3505 Crimson Mafia

Zeus Bureau

HIP 13269 Silver Drug Empire

HIP 28987 Empire Pact

Annarr Dynamic Corp.

Firdaus Transport Company

LTT 700 Jet Major Holdings

LHS 3516 Fortune Company

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.

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

Revolutionary Heheng Future

Civil wars occur when minor factions compete for control of major assets such as starports. When a faction is involved in a civil war, the standard of living, development level and security level in the system it controls are temporarily reduced. Combat activities can bring a civil war to an end.

Here are the latest factions to experience war:

Colanja Gold Power Services

Lords of Ngaliba

Cemiess Commodities

Labour of Ethgreze

Order of Ethgreze

Kokary Liberals

United LHS 3479 Green Party

Independents of Mildeptu

The Pilots Federation

Wars occur when a minor faction invades a star system controlled by another minor faction. For the duration of the war, the standard of living, wealth level and security level in the disputed system are reduced. 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.

Ambassador Cuthrick Delaney, steward of the Prism system, has announced that the Loren's Legion appeal for tantalum has been enthusiastically received by the galactic community. Hundreds of independent pilots responded to the appeal, resulting in a massive influx of deliveries to Hiram's Anchorage, the organisation's base of operations.

In a statement, Delaney said:

"Loren's Legion would like to extend its gratitude to all the Commanders who rallied to our call. Our immediate economic issues have been addressed, thanks to your efforts."

Pilots who contributed to the initiative are now free to collect their rewards from Hiram's Anchorage in the Prism system.

The Colonia Council has launched a fourth migration appeal, giving the galaxy's minor factions an opportunity to establish a permanent presence in the Colonia Nebula.

A spokesperson for the organisation explained the nature of the initiative:

"Once again we are asking pilots to deliver a specific commodity to Jaques Station on behalf of their chosen organisation in order to earn a migration visa."

"At the end of the campaign, the ten factions that have made the largest contribution will earn the right to settle in one of the systems we have targeted for colonisation. A new planetary outpost will be constructed in the system for the organisation's sole use."

The campaign begins on the 9th of March 3303 and will run for four weeks. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

The Military Militia, an independent organisation based in the XI-2 Lupi system, has announced plans to establish an installation in its home system, and has issued an appeal for various commodities for use in the construction. Commander MiL1TiA SiX, the group's wing commander, elaborated on the nature of the appeal:

"We need two resources to start construction – military grade fabrics and platinum – and we encourage all able and willing Commanders to assist us."

"Resistance is expected, but the Military Militia and its allies stand at the ready. We will be patrolling the shipping lanes in order to keep criminals at bay and ensure no crime goes unpunished."

The proposed installation, which will be known as Soldiers' Respite, will boast state-of-the-art communication relays, high-tech weapon systems and a combat training facility.

The organisation has promised to reward pilots who deliver the requested commodities to Pellegrino Hub in the XI-2 Lupi system. The campaign begins on the 9th March 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.
