A press release from the Zeus Bureau, an organisation based in Zeus, has revealed that the system will soon host a gathering of some of the galaxy's most influential people. Figures from the worlds of politics, commerce and culture are scheduled to convene at KatherineB for what is promised to be "an event of unparalleled opulence".

With the event scheduled to take place next week, the Zeus Bureau has placed an open order for a range of luxury goods, promising to reward those who deliver these commodities to KatherineB in the Zeus system.

A spokesperson for the organisation released a brief statement:

"Some of the most powerful people in the galaxy will attend this event, so it is of the utmost importance that our guests want for nothing. We have therefore placed open orders for Giant Irukama Snails, Kamitra Cigars and Lavian Brandy. We are confident that, with the support of the galactic community, we can create a truly memorable event."

The appeal begins on 18th of May 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Recent reports indicate that a number of unauthorised outposts have been detected in the Eol Prou Lw-L C8-215 system. A spokesperson for the Colonia Council confirmed that these outposts are currently occupied by group of agitators, which have already begun targeting pilots in the system.

The Colonia region is a popular emigration destination, but entry is carefully controlled by the system’s governing body, the Colonia Council. Evidently, the system’s latest residents are unconcerned with the Council’s processes.

With the Colonia community still at an early stage and lacking a comprehensive security force, it is relying on the galaxy's independent combat pilots for military support. The Junkyard Dogs has placed a kill order on all wanted ships operating in Eol Prou Lw-L C8-215, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver bounty vouchers to Tolagarf's Junkjard.

The campaign begins on 18th of May 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

Mooramoora Union Party

Quambo Free

Waime Worker's Party

Traditional Auste Dominion

HIP 116298 Jet Cartel

When a faction is affected by famine the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases. Combat activity has no effect on influence while a famine is active. Completing food-trade missions can bring a famine to an end.

HIP 105577 One

Eravate Network

Kvenland Services

Left Party of HIP 43845

HIP 19773 Shared

When a faction is affected by an outbreak the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases. Combat activity has no effect on influence while an outbreak is active. Completing medicine-supply missions can bring an outbreak to an end.

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:

Delta Pavonis Vision Services

WISE 0855-0714 Gold Gang

Partnership of LHS 2819

Macame Industries

G 180-18 Jet Society

Coalition of Djagana

Quince Creative Holdings

New Perktomen Left Party

Lords of Ngaliba

United Wat Yu Confederacy

Emperor's Will

Codorain Network

Morgor Crimson Pirates

Quince Creative Holdings

Quince Jet Family

Nobles of Eoto

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:

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

Uru Federal Interstellar

Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

Union of Wolf 359 Labour

Ngaliba Blue Camorra

Potriti Gold Mafia

Cemiess Commodities

Coquim Industry

Orrere Ring

Eravate Network

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:

Nang Ta-khian Public Co

LHS 535 Silver United Ltd

League of Ross 1015

Calennero Shared

Sif League

League of Orishpucho Movement

Backlum Gold Allied Organisation

League of 36 Ursae Majoris

Lopocareni United

Taliesin Crimson Fortune Systems

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:

Partnership of Nitikaba

Atung Mussa Purple Comms Ind

Yimanbin Nationalists

Osuntes Interstellar

Cakutsi Movement

Koing Dynasty

Democrats of HIP 57080

Union of Aiaba Partnership

Awa One

Alliance of Gunwini

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:

HIP 13269 Silver Drug Empire

Sui Xenates Indie Union

Movement for Pienate Labour

HIP 17984 Gold Brotherhood

Kikua Empire Party

Coalition of Djagana

Unified Tagarilocan

Kumbia Ltd

Wakam Central Commodities

Orisala Co-operative

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.

The appeal from the Canonn Interstellar Research Group for materials for a new research vessel has received an unprecedented level of support. The organisation has therefore decided to extend its original targets.

A spokesperson for the organisation released the following statement:

“The level of support from the galactic community is truly amazing. We have therefore decided to add new cash tiers to our campaign so we can bolster the ship’s specifications, and amass a quantity of material for the scientific voyages the Gnosis has been designed for.”

“This also gives more of the community an opportunity to contribute to this historic campaign.”

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.

G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

Order 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.
