A spokesperson for the Kpelidoog Empire Assembly has announced that its plan to build a new Wells-class Carrier has received the wholehearted support of the galactic community. Hundreds of pilots took to their ships to deliver construction materials to Hipparchus Terminal, the organisation’s base of operations.

As the campaign drew to a close, a spokesperson for the Kpelidoog Empire Assembly released a statement:

“We are immeasurably grateful to all those who supported this initiative. Having met our targets, we hope to start work on the new ship soon.”

Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Hipparchus Terminal in the Kpelidoog system.

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.

Here are the latest factions to experience an outbreak:

Kvenland Services

HIP 10570 Constitution Party

HIP 19773 Shared

Hatmehit Purple Crew

Aymifa Resistance

HIP 111486 First

Aonghus Co

Dulos Defence Party

Delta Phoenicis Limited

Chukchair Prison Colony

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:

Dragons of HIP 1914

Morgor Crimson Pirates

Zeus Bureau

United Wat Yu Confederacy

Alliance of HIP 13269

Crimson Major Incorporated

Uniting Kupole

Gold Netcoms Limited

Traditional Hehe Flag

Gendini Incorporated

When a faction experiences a lockdown, the security rating of the system it controls temporarily increases and the system’s wealth temporarily decreases. Bounty hunting activity can shorten the lockdown period.

Here are the latest factions to experience civil unrest:

Orrere Ring

Uszaa Society

Green Party of Lung

Ovid Democrats

Republic Party of Thraskias

Friends of HIP 20441

Chaimal Jet Public Services

Autocracy of HR 5307

HIP 24655 allied

Monarchy of HIP 24655

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.

The Kpelidoog Empire Assembly, an Imperial organisation based in the Kpelidoog system, has announced plans to build a new Wells-class Carrier to support astronomical research.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the organisation said:

"Many of the galaxy's scientific groups are currently focused on the Thargoids, but we think it's important to keep an eye on the bigger picture. Once complete, this new ship will gather data on stellar bodies and unusual celestial phenomena."

The Kpelidoog Empire Assembly has placed an open order for titanium, semiconductors and power generators for use in the construction, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver these commodities to Hipparchus Terminal in the Kpelidoog system.

The spokesperson went on to say:

"The success of this initiative depends largely on the support of the galactic community. That's why we've decided to incorporate the name of the pilot who makes the largest contribution into the name of the new vessel."

The campaign begins on the 21st of August 3303 and will run until the 24th of August 3303. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

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

Liberty Party of Zeessze

Green Party of HIP 103138

Union of Wolf 359 Labour

GCRV 4654 State Interstellar

Zelano Systems

Opila Ltd

Chamunda Crimson Gang

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:

Kini Drug Empire

LHS 3479 Interstellar

WISE 0855-0714 Gold Gang

Nationalists of Aulin

BD-13 2439 Comms Systems

Workers of Lalande 29917 Green Party

Indines Commodities

Lambda Hydri Industry

Independents of 22 g Leonis

Brothers of Abroin

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:

HIP 13269 Silver Drug Empire

Partnership of Chankates

HIP 80700 Jet Central PLC

Democrats of HIP 57080

G 139-50 Electronics Partners

HIP 9473 Industries

Progressive Party of Uracenufon

Clayagro Interstellar

LHS 3631 Network

Friends of Fugeniez

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

Crimson State Group

HIP 9610 Jet Legal Systems

Gitxsan Limited

Kuwemargl Patrons of Law

Brotherhood of Caerete

Begovans Industry

Coalition of Bodedi

HIP 113454 Crew

Gyvata Indi Purple Syndicate

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.

Reports have surfaced that Admiral Aden Tanner, Chief of Federal Security and so-called ‘alien tsar’, is now liaising with Aegis, the inter-superpower initiative established to investigate the Thargoids.

News of Admiral Tanner’s involvement has already prompted speculation that the cold war between the Empire and the Federation could be thawing. Contrasting voices have suggested that Tanner’s association could divert Aegis from its scientific agenda and set it on a more militaristic course.

In the wake of this development, Admiral Tanner made the following statement:

“It is my sincere pleasure to support Aegis in its mission and contribute to what I hope will be a new era of collaboration. I know there are those who have questioned my involvement with Aegis, but I can assure you that after forty years in the military, I am ready for some peace.”

“Our current priorities are determining the scale of the Thargoids’ presence in human space and confirming their intentions regarding humanity. We have no concrete information to share with the galactic community at this time, however.”

Luyten 674-15 Industries

Mob of HIP 7106

People's Islastyara Revolutionary Party

Epsilon Phoenicis Forum

New CD-61 6801 Flag

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:

Kokary Liberals

Blue Dynamic Group

Democrats of BD-02 4304

i Bootis Democrats

Branglal PLC

Zeus Bureau

New 31 Aquilae Green Party

Limapa Blue State Commodities

Orrere Ring

People's Changthini for Equality

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.
