Galactic News: Weekly Security Report
30 Aug 3303
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:
Orrere Ring
HIP 22006 Purple Cartel
Chaimal Jet Public Services
Gendini Incorporated
Baedi Di Rats
Barons of Mundine
Hiralarsh First
Kagudi Allied Interstellar
Venux Freedom Party
HIP 24912 Crimson General Hldgs
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:
Independents of LHS 3262
Alliance of HIP 13269
Crimson Major Incorporated
Labour of 64 Arietis
Social Holler Green Party
Saontiana and Co
Integrated HIP 111657
Values Party of Shenggan
HR 3007 Coordinated
LP 726-6 Partners
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.
Galactic News: Starport Status Update
29 Aug 3303
This report presents the latest data on starports experiencing technical issues as a result of Unknown-Artefact related interference.
The following starports are currently closed:
Onnes Gateway, LFT 37
Heng Ring, Malanges

Galactic News: Weekly Economic Report
29 Aug 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:
Brotherhood of LP 98-132
Liberty Party of Zeessze
Union of Wolf 359 Labour
GCRV 4654 State Interstellar
Opila Ltd
Crimson State Group
Brani Federal Holdings
Allied FK5 2550 Autocracy
Ololos Drug Empire
Bureau of HIP 1914 Focus
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:
WISE 0855-0714 Gold Gang
Apoyota Domain
Quator Ring
Nationalists of Aulin
Leaders of Santal
Aditi Crimson Energy Inc
LTT 18486 Pirates
Partnership of Alpha Centauri
The Order of Justice
Wat Yu Resistance
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: Weekly Expansion Report
26 Aug 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:
Chicoana Silver Travel Corp.
HIP 96289 Blue Major Inc
110 Herculis Purple Natural PLC
Annarr Dynamic Corp.
Tphene Collective
Revolutionary Eluskapu Partnership
People's Tutumu Confederacy
Kwarandji Comms Industries
Lunguni First
Bletii Inc
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:
Democrats of BD-02 4304
Durius Dominion
HR 8170 Brotherhood
Bodb Dearg Order
Yenistani Guardians of Tradition
Brotherhood of Caerete
Gilyadar Front
Velnians Gold Transport Holdings
Marquis du Ugrivaci
Chimasates Blue United Org
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: The Thargoid Situation
25 Aug 3303
Although the first hints of the Thargoid presence began with the discovery of Unknown Artefacts in 3301, the current chapter in the Thargoid story started last year with the discovery of alien shipwrecks in the Pleiades Nebula. A few months later, in January 3303, the first interdiction from a Thargoid ship was reported.
In May, accounts surfaced of attacks in the Maia system against Federal vessels. Eyewitnesses claimed to have seen Thargoid ships at the sites, but the Federation refused to comment on the possibility of Thargoid involvement.
A key discovery was made a few weeks later, when massive Thargoid structures were found in a number of systems. Several of these structures were discovered to contain functional Thargoid technology.
With events unfolding at such a rapid pace, the superpowers have struggled to formulate appropriate responses. But the creation of Aegis, a joint-superpower initiative designed to coordinate research into the Thargoids, suggests that the galaxy’s leaders are now taking steps to address the situation.
Professor Cora Shaw, director of the Palin Institute, offered the following assessment:
“We are faced with a number of pressing questions. Why have the Thargoids entered human space? Can we communicate with them? Are they hostile? Hopefully Aegis can provide us with some answers.”
Meanwhile, in an article for the Imperial Herald, journalist Kelvin Masters gave a more frank analysis:
“The barnacles seem to indicate that the Thargoids were in Maia and Merope long before we were. For all we know, humanity has expanded into what the Thargoids see as their territory. I have no interest in scaremongering, but my belief is that a Thargoid attack could be imminent – their behaviour certainly seems to suggest they are probing us for weaknesses.”
Galactic News: Weekly Conflict Report
25 Aug 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:
Coquim Industry
Zelano Systems
Junga Interstellar
Chamunda Crimson Gang
Kini Drug Empire
LHS 3479 Interstellar
AG+21 1754 Citizen Party
Liberty Party of LP 751-1
Liaedin Mafia
Revolutionary Party of Nuenets
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:
Order of Ethgreze
Kokary Liberals
Liberals of Delta Pavonis
LHS 1387 Jet Mob
Blue Dynamic Group
Njikan Jet Dynamic Industry
BD+07 4267 Gold General PLC
LHS 3384 Progressive Party
Branglal PLC
New 31 Aquilae Green Party
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: Order Restored in Kaal
24 Aug 3303
The Kuk Silver Fortune Company has announced that its campaign to clear the Kaal system of agitators has been a success. Hundreds of pilots responded to the appeal, taking to their ships to eliminate the criminals operating in the system.
Authorities in the Kaal system have extended their gratitude to those who participated in the operation.
Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Vercors Station in the Kaal system.
Galactic News: Imperial Appeal Concludes
24 Aug 3303
Secoya Emperor's Grace has announced that its appeal for luxury goods has been enthusiastically received by the galactic community. Hundreds of pilots responded to the appeal by delivering commodities to Joy Port for this year’s Sigma Summit, a conference attended by some of the Empire’s most powerful individuals.
Censure of the event failed to deter traders or intimidate this year’s guest of honour, Imperial Senator Zemina Torval, who responded to criticism by saying simply “The Summit is an institution.”
Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Joy Port in the Secoya system.
Community Goal: The Path to Colonia
24 Aug 3303
The Kamadhenu Chapterhouse of Inquisition has announced plans to establish a series of starports between the core systems and Colonia to make the daunting voyage a little easier. A total of three starports have been planned, which the Chapterhouse hopes will expedite the creation of a freight and passenger service known as the Blue Star Line.
The Chapterhouse has placed an open order for gold, robotics and auto-fabricators for the first of these starports, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver these commodities to Shajn Market in the Kamadhenu system. System authorities have also pledged to issue generous rewards for Chapterhouse-issued bounties, to ensure safe delivery of goods to the starport.
Announcing the campaign, Governor Shelby Ortega said:
“The growth of Colonia has been astounding, but its continued success depends on developing more substantive infrastructure. Having received the blessing of the Colonia Council, the Chapterhouse of Inquisition intends to realise a vision of trans-galactic commerce that will benefit all of humanity.”
The first phase of the campaign begins on the 24th of August 3303. The second phase begins on the 31st of August, and the final phase begins on the 7th of September. All three phases will run for one week unless targets are met earlier than planned.
