Galactic News: Weekly Economic Report
23 May 3303
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:
Social Zaragas Independents
Brani Federal Holdings
New 31 Aquilae Green Party
Ross 754 Labour
Cemiess Commodities
Kokary Holdings
Eravate Network
Zeessze Clan
Panoi Holdings
Ross 754 Universal and Co
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
Lords of Ngaliba
Nang Ta-khian Public Co
Aleutes Bureau
Sif League
HIP 5700 Empire League
Backlum Gold Allied Organisation
G 239-25 Alliance
League of 36 Ursae Majoris
Values Party of Orishpucho
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: Halsey Stages Anti-War Protest
20 May 3303
Former Federal president Jasmina Halsey held a public demonstration in the Alioth system yesterday in protest of the ongoing conflict between the Empire and the Federation.
More than 30,000 people attended the event, which lasted for several hours and occupied one of the main public plazas in Nerah City on Argent’s Claim.
A number of high-profile speakers and activists addressed the crowd, although Alliance Prime Minister Edmund Mahon was notable by his absence. Political commentators were quick to point out, however, that the demonstration could not have taken place without his foreknowledge, if not his explicit approval.
In an address to the crowd, Halsey said:
“As a 20th Century historian once wrote, ‘The underlying reason for war is always economic.’ This conflict has nothing to do with freedom or liberation – it is about resources. And I believe enough people have died to line the pockets of already wealthy individuals in the Federation and the Empire.”
“I speak now directly to President Zachary Hudson and Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval: It is not too late for you to listen to reason.”
Neither the Empire nor the Federation elected to respond to Halsey’s statement.
Galactic News: Weekly Expansion Report
20 May 3303
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 73428 Exchange
Njikan Jet Dynamic Industry
Sui Xenates Indie Union
Jaques
Labour of Kalads
Yimanbin Nationalists
Friends of Pirigen
Brotherhood of Hasattra
Karex Mob
HIP 20577 Blue Dragons
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:
Limapa Blue State Commodities
Partnership of LHS 2819
Co-operative of Brangkalar
Anotchi Citizens' Forum
Nationals of Algreit
Future of LTT 911
Posse of HIP 97337
Monarchy of Michael Pantazis
New Rutujil People's Party
Haeduwong Systems
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.
Galactic News: Reports Surface of Mysterious Attacks
19 May 3303
Reports have surfaced of mysterious attacks in the Maia system, where eyewitnesses claim to have found the remains of a number of Federal vessels.
According to reports, the damage to the ships’ hulls was not consistent with any known form of weaponry. Furthermore, several observers claim to have seen the so-called unknown ships at the wreckage sites. Attempts to intercept the ships were unsuccessful.
Chief of Federal Security Admiral Aden Tanner, who is understood to be investigating the mysterious ships, addressed the reports:
“These claims are certainly troubling, but I would remind you their veracity has not yet been verified, and I would urge the public to remain calm. Rest assured that we are investigating the matter.”
Galactic News: Weekly Conflict Report
19 May 3303
This report presents the latest data on conflict among the galaxy’s minor factions.
Here are the latest factions to experience a civil war:
Ruchbah Industry
Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities
Delphin Blue Federal PLC
Vanayequi Independents
Coquim Industry
Allied FK5 2550 Autocracy
FK5 2550 PLC
Purungurawn Purple Society
Natural Toolfa Nationalists
Partnership of GD 215
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
Yakabugai Exchange
Order of Ethgreze
Zaragas Energy Corp.
Crimson State Group
Labour of Ethgreze
Laedla and Co
The Pilots Federation
Sol Workers' Party
Alioth Pro-Alliance Group
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.
Galactic News: Canonn Campaign Concludes
18 May 3303
A spokesperson for the Canonn Interstellar Research Group has announced that its appeal for indium, computer components and tea has been enthusiastically received by the galactic community, resulting in a massive influx of deliveries to Zoline Port. The campaign also received the support of hundreds of combat pilots, who protected traders contributing commodities to the campaign. Construction of the deep-space research vessel Gnosis is now underway.
The organisation’s leaders have extended their gratitude to those who supported the campaign.
Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Zoline Port in the LTT 377 system.
Community Goal: Zeus Bureau Appeal
18 May 3303
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.
Community Goal: Trouble in Colonia
18 May 3303
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.
