Four days ago, the galaxy was stunned by news that mysterious ruins had been discovered in the Synuefe XR-H d11-102 system.
The discovery was made by an independent pilot known by the callsign 'xdeath'. Once the find was made public, pilots from across the galaxy flocked to investigate the site.
Although a formal survey of the ruins has not yet been conducted, speculation is rife that they are of non-human origin. Images of the site, which show mysterious structures and a series of complex earthworks, appear to support this hypothesis.
The discovery of the ruins is only one of a number of remarkable finds made over the past few years. The Unknown Artefacts, Unknown Probes, the so-called organic structures and the crash site in the Pleiades Sector AB-W B2-4 system have piqued the curiosity of the entire galactic community. But the relationship between these discoveries – if any – has yet to be determined.

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:
Eravate Life Services
LTT 700 Silver Federal Exchange
Dragons of Tepertsi
Liberty Party of Tau Ceti
LFT 1834 Corp.
Clan of LHS 1110
Independents of IL Aquarii
LFT 133 Exchange
Movement for Tetek Future
Textovices Universal Corp.
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:
E.X.O
Progressive Party of Bolg
Independent Guan Zaihe League
Co-op of Mbokokumal
Integrated Shu Babassi
Revolutionary 5 G. Apodis Values Party
Hojin Blue Dragons
Dukes of LTT 2893
Sorbacoc Society
Namniez Free
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.
