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:

PSPF-LF 2 Liberals

United Ba Po Constitution Party

Knox and Co

Dominion of Sowiio

LFT 37 Blue Natural Corp.

Djuhti Independents

Agarda Republic Party

Lu Xians Noblement

Revolutionary Party of Ancanec

Rudjer Boskovic Inc.

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:

Xi Ursae Majoris Energy Network

Democrats of LHS 278

Mob of Eranin

Revolutionary Ausantuatel Values Party

Sowiio Services

Natural LP 390-16 Constitution Party

Umbrigua Movement

Wolf 424 Ltd

Eburnakura Purple Advanced Sysy

Mongatha Domain

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.

Sources close to the Imperial Senate have released a statement indicating that Lady Kahina Tijani Loren, erstwhile senator of the Prism system, has been charged in connection with the attempted assassination of Admiral Denton Patreus.

Prior to this development, Lady Kahina had not been heard from since mid 3301. Details of her recent activities are shrouded in mystery, although under the alias Commander Salomé she has been linked to various revolutionary organisations, including the Children of Raxxla, the Phoenix Group, the Dark Wheel and now Emperor's Dawn.

After Lady Kahina went missing in the Cemiess system last month, the Children of Raxxla attempted to destabilise the system's economy to force system authorities to reveal her whereabouts.

"Her intentions are clear," said a reporter for The Imperial Citizen. "She hates Patreus for his takeover of the Prism system – which I might point out was entirely legal – and harbours ridiculous delusions of becoming Emperor. She's been sowing seeds of discontent everywhere she goes. As we reported last month, she is dangerously unstable and an irresponsible warmonger. Now that she's been caught, she should be dealt with harshly. The same applies to the factions loyal to her."

Princess Aisling Duval also addressed the arrest, saying: "I was always suspicious about her. Now her true colours have been revealed. I hope she receives a just punishment for her atrocious crimes. I wouldn't be surprised to discover she was behind the instability of the past year. My thanks go to our loyal Imperial security services for their diligence."

Lady Kahina has reportedly been moved to the Achenar system to await trial.

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

Zeessze Clan

Yimanbin Industries

Kitche Citizens' Forum

LHS 1110 Patron's Principles

Stafkarl Stakeholders

New Belenja Defence Party

HIP 296 Purple Bridge Systems

Velnians Revolutionary Party

Lalande 10797 Comms Holdings

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:

Kraurno Blue Brothers

Kamadhenu Netcoms Corporation

Salibi Mafia

Namniez Free

Ross 209 Fortune Organisation

Revolutionary 5 G. Apodis Values Party

Yuror Crimson Drug Empire

Movement for Pipi Free

Independent HR 8526 for Equality

Co-operative of HIP 113113

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:

Sons Blue Fortune Network

Lords of LHS 1963

Partnership of Semakana

Jaques

Bodhinga Empire Assembly

Deili Confederation

Wuthawchu Blue Bridge Inc

HIP 118040 Exchange

Official Tepi Regulatory State

HIP 104206 Emperor's Grace

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:

Decan Silver Ring

Progressive Party of Paemalites

Cet Republic Party

Tirawati Prison Colony

HR 1064 Netcoms Holdings

Natural Namamasairu Flag

Workers of Krinda Future

Ys Silver Major Group

Huiche Incorporated

Xi-2 Lupi Resistance

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.

This report presents the latest data on conflict among the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to experience a civil war:

Bhumbi Limited

LHS 1507 Democrats

Ngun Natural Co

Guangul Defence Party

LP 908-11 Independents

LP 908-11 Network

DP Camelopardalis Legal Company

DP Camelopardalis Party

LP 51-17 Advanced Industry

LHS 3749 Rats

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:

Workers of Sak Chelmir Partnership

Tsohoda Citizens' Forum

Sublime Order of van Maanen's Star

Sons Blue Fortune Network

Lords of LHS 1963

Liberals of Julana

HIP 2902 Independents

Har Crimson Legal Corp.

San Tzu Silver Mafia

Mainani Empire 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.

Latugara PLC, an independent organisation based in the Latugara system, has announced plans to construct a series of outposts between the core of human-inhabited space and the rapidly expanding Colonia Nebula community.

In a statement, the organisation's spokesperson said:

"Given the relatively remote nature of the Colonia community, there's a clear need for a series of resupply outposts to support ships travelling to and from the colony. These new bases will bridge the gap between the burgeoning Colonia community and the core systems."

In support of this ambitious initiative, Latugara PLC has placed an open order for titanium, computer components and power generators, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver these commodities to its base of operations at Love Orbital in the Latugara system.

The campaign has been provisionally scheduled to run for four weeks from the 15th of September 3302, but the Latugara PLC has said it will run the campaign until its targets are met.

Federal intelligence operatives have uncovered an Imperial plot to destabilise the Thoreau Orbital outpost in Obotrima. The starport is a major manufacturing centre for autonomous defence drones, more commonly known as skimmers.

According to a leaked report, the Imperial organisation Chimechilo Empire League plans to disrupt skimmer production at Thoreau Orbital by flooding it with explosives. The Chimechilo Empire League has asked Imperial pilots to support the operation by delivering explosives to Thoreau Orbital.

To counter this threat, the Obotrima Organisation has asked Federation-aligned pilots to deliver skimmer components and robotics to the outpost in order to manufacture new skimmers.

Both operations are scheduled to run for one week from the 15th of September 3302.

The Xuangu Crimson Major Network has announced that the Imperial operation to recover valuable intelligence from Federal convoys in the Mu Koji system has been a success.

Scores of independent pilots supported the operation, bolstering the Imperial forces and thwarting Federal efforts to steal Imperial intelligence.

But although the Empire achieved its primary goal, victory came at a cost. Independent correspondents, reporting from Mu Koji, have confirmed that the Empire lost considerably more ships than the Federation.

In the wake of the victory, a spokesperson for Xuangu Crimson Major Network thanked those who supported the campaign. Pilots who contributed to the initiative are now free to collect their rewards from Aksyonov Hub in Mu Koji.

This report presents the latest data on democratic activity among the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to hold elections:

Conservatives of Hisaaka

Konburo State Inc

Vesuvit Patron's Principles

Bugas Future

Crimson General Industry

Rasmussen Future

Chapterhouse of Inquisition

Baedi Di Industries

HIP 24157 Solutions

Goller Industries

Elections occur when two minor factions with a similar political structure resolve a conflict over ownership and influence within a system.

At 7.00 am tomorrow morning (GMT), the monitoring of powers' activities will go offline for a short period while the latest data is assembled. Pilots who operate for one of the powers should deliver any cargo or vouchers before this time to ensure their activities are registered.
