A spokesperson for NULL has announced that its appeal for commodities has been enthusiastically received by the galactic community, resulting in a massive influx of deliveries to Conway City, the organisation’s base of operations. The organisation’s campaign to clear the system of agitators has also been a success.

A spokesperson for the organisation released the following statement:

“With the help of the galactic community we have been able to amass the necessary materials to build our new base, and rid the system of corruption and crime. We would like to thank all those who helped make this initiative a success.”

Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Conway City in the LTT 4961 system.

The recent revelation that the Thargoids have returned to human space has sent shockwaves through the galaxy.

Some, such as Federal President Zachary Hudson, have reacted defensively, promising to protect humanity from what they believe is an aggressive alien race. More moderate voices have underscored the need for further information, since so little is known about the Thargoids.

One such voice belongs to Abroin Universal Plc, which has announced plans to establish a research outpost in the Pleiades Nebula – one of the centres of Thargoid activity.

A spokesperson for the organisation said:

“The Thargoids are active principally in the Pleiades Nebula, so we are eager to establish a research outpost there. As Edmund Mahon said, there is potentially a great deal we could learn from them. Hopefully this new outpost will let us do just that.”

Abroin Universal Plc has placed an open order for Semiconductors, Lithium and Energy Grid Assemblies for use in the construction, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver these commodities to Campbell Horizons in the Abroin system. The organisation placed a kill order on all ships on its wanted list, to ensure those delivering material to Campbell Horizons can do so safely.

The campaign begins on the 20th of July 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

HIP 22145 Gold Mafia

Liberty Party of Zeessze

Green Party of HIP 103138

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:

Nationalists of Aulin

Findja Empire Assembly

G 99-49 Life Industry

United Nang Ta-khian Confederacy

Bactondinks Life Corporation

Crimson Major Incorporated

Codorain Network

Warakmbut Inc

Warakmbut Shared

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:

Order of Ethgreze

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

Laedla and Co

Union of Wolf 359 Labour

Coquim Industry

Zelano Systems

Opila Ltd

Kokary Liberals

Chamunda Crimson Gang

Kini Drug Empire

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:

Quator Ring

Indaol Blue Major Corporation

Libanatya Gold Netcoms Comms

Chukchu Allied Network

LHS 3080 Coalition

Volcae Independents

United Kini Coalitio

WISE 0855-0714 United Exchange

Workers of Lalande 29917 Green Party

Official Eravate Flag

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:

Ambivas Power Partners

G 99-49 Life Industry

Durius Dominion

Alliance of Yemakinni

Workers of Ahaykenkan Confederacy

Mentesuri Network

Coalition of Reieni

Khruvani Universal Organisation

Kwatyriel and Co

Aguane Shared

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:

Order of Ethgreze

Firdaus Transport Company

Tau-2 Gruis A United Systems

Coalition of Djagana

Kotigen Natural Organisation

LTT 537 Future

Independents of HIP 22006

HIP 20916 Left Party

Lumbla Universal PLC

HIP 47058 Central Corp.

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.

As the number of newly discovered Thargoid structures continues to grow, reports from the Pleiades Sector IR-W D1-55 indicate that the Oracle, an Ocellus starport, has relocated to the system in order to study the region’s Thargoid structure.

Governor Ahmed, the starport’s principal administrator, released the following statement:

“The Oracle has long been a hub for scientific research, and in recent years many of our researchers have started focusing on Unknown Artefacts and Probes. The Thargoid structures are ripe for further study, and I therefore believe it is essential that we have a dedicated research centre at one of these sites.”

“We need to know more about the Thargoids – what they want, why they’re here and ideally how to communicate with them. My hope is that the Oracle will help us answer some of these questions.”

The Oracle is expected to arrive in the Pleiades Sector IR-W D1-55 within the next few days.

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:

HIP 22145 Gold Mafia

Coquim Industry

Crimson State Group

Co-operative of Yiman

HIP 96289 Blue Major Inc

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.
