A group of EM-transmission technology enthusiasts in the Tionisla system claims to have found a message in the exploration data gathered last year as part of a campaign organised by the Children of Raxxla.

A spokesperson for the group, which calls itself The Hamsters, said:

“It was inside one of the beacon modulator wave harmonics, and it seems to be some sort of rhyme. We’ve studied it but have come up with nothing, so we thought we’d share it with the galactic community.”

The message is reprinted in full below.

The river to the underworld

Gaia’s daughter all unfurled

Fourth minor bear in vain

By viper’s sting was slain

Also known as Nemesis

The doom of Chimera

She is tasked with soothing pain

Suckling Odysseus from afar

Mother of the mother of

Leader of the Titans

He transformed into a hawk

A daughter of Daedalion’s

The piercer was how he was known

Mother of Ulysses

Ruler of the winds

God of night, primordial flees

Zeus’ namesake now lies in Sol

Achilles’ favoured horse

Women of vengeance infernal

The vain queen rides not forth

A final word, a course to follow, a poor miser’s sum

If you would understand it all, seek Fibonacci’s Zephyrum

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:

Parhul Silver Electronics Hldgs

Allied Kui Xenab Regulatory State

Peng Dung Jet Creative Network

Jaques

Future of LTT 911

League of Ross 1015

Wonorne Nu Natural Limited

Imset Patron's Principles

Zhu Vedani Blue Transport Dev

NLTT 8084 Natural Services

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:

G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

Crimson State Group

Eranin Peoples Party

Labour of Geras

HR 8170 Brotherhood

Ciguru Republic Party

Regulatory State of Kausan

Jurokkju Imperial Society

Partnership of Triviatii

Zhou Wang Citizens' Forum

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.

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

Ross 754 Labour

LTT 377 Purple General Corp.

Order of Ethgreze

Labour of Ethgreze

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.

It has now been eight months since the first Colonia outpost was established, and since then the colony has gone from strength to strength.

With the Colonia community continuing to expand, the Colonia Co-operative has placed an open order for mined Gallite, Gold and Methanol Monohydrate Crystals for the development of infrastructure throughout Colonia and the surrounding systems.

A spokesperson for the Colonia Co-operative released a statement:

"It would be impossible to overstate how many resources are needed to sustain and grow the Colonia community. Suffice it to say that we are in constant need. Fortunately, thanks to a series of corporate donations, we are in a position to offer generous premiums to pilots who deliver materials to Colonia Dream in the Eol Prou Lw-L C8-76 system."

The campaign begins on the 13th of April 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

The Utopia Commune has issued a request for various commodities to be used in a forthcoming research and development programme.

The enclave has placed an open order for zirconium, conductive ceramics and strange wake solutions, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver these commodities to Cenker City in the Gucumadhyas system.

Simguru Pranav Antal, leader of the Utopian movement, released a statement outlining the nature of the initiative.

"We are well aware that independent pilots accumulate large quantities of material over the course of their travels. Fortunately, Utopia is willing to pay above-market prices for these materials, which will play a central role in our forthcoming programme."

The campaign begins on the 13th of April 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

After a period of intense conflict, the Gandii Justice Party has defeated the forces of the Hand Gang of Gandii in the Gandii system.

Both organisations called in support from independent combat pilots, but ultimately it was the Gandii Justice Party that emerged victorious.

Pilots who participated in the conflict are now free to collect their rewards from Lu Hub in the Gandii system.

Here are the latest factions to experience civil unrest:

Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

Kokary Holdings

Quator Ring

Alpha Centauri Gold Brotherhood

LHS 3505 Crimson Mafia

Oho Bajo Public Holdings

Revolutionary Kappa Fornacis for Equality

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

Limapa Blue State Commodities

Uru Federal Interstellar

Union of Wolf 359 Labour

Cemiess Commodities

Coquim Industry

Eravate Network

G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

AG+21 1754 Citizen Party

HIP 8593 Empire League

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

Ngaliba Blue Camorra

Lords of Ngaliba

Potriti Gold Mafia

Morgor Crimson Pirates

Keries Camorra

Aleutes Bureau

League of 36 Ursae Majoris

Mehnemine Free

Jodrell Creative Exchange

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.
