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:
Parhul Silver Electronics Hldgs
Movement for Tobarci Confederacy

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:
Pirates of Bean
Annarr Dynamic Corp.
Sui Xenates Indie Union
Brotherhood of Caerete
Workers of Ahaykenkan Confederacy
Paletes Interstellar
Paesui Xena Empire Group
Posse of HIP 97337
Independents of HIP 22006
LTT 537 Nationalists
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.
