Galactic News: Loren's Legion Appeal Concludes

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.

Community Goal: The Colonia Expansion

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.

Community Goal: Appeal for Construction Materials

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.

Quator Ring

Bhotho Rats

Union of Sowiio Green Party

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

Brani Federal Holdings

Ross 754 Labour

Yakabugai Exchange

Ruchbah Industry

Cemiess Commodities

Kokary Holdings

Eravate Network

Zeessze Clan

Delphin Blue Federal PLC

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:

Potriti Gold Mafia

Ngaliba Blue Camorra

LHS 535 Silver United Ltd

Orishpucho Jet Hand Gang

Chau Yu Gold Clan

BD-13 2439 Comms Systems

League of 36 Ursae Majoris

Independent Sopdu Labour

Taliesin Crimson Fortune Systems

Democrats of Masans

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.

Nahua Citizens' Forum

G 99-49 Life Industry

Sui Xenates Indie Union

HIP 115314 Jet Crew

HIP 113454 Crew

HIP 65921 Silver Bridge Systems

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:

Eranin Peoples Party

Independents of Mildeptu

39 Tauri Interstellar

Labour of Geras

Zugen Incorporated

Durius Dominion

Inupiates Patrons of Law

Zeus Bureau

Xuanduna Imperial Society

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.
