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:
Official Darkates Freedom
Sol Workers' Party
Labour of Geras
Modgud Commodities
Ambivas Power Partners
HIP 114530 Guardians
Partnership of Nitikaba
Betel Free
Sui Xenates Indie Union
Jaques
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:
Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities
Labour of Ethgreze
Independents of Mildeptu
The Pilots Federation
Zugen Incorporated
LP 811-17 Gold Energy Partners
HR 8170 Brotherhood
Yhele Guardians of Tradition
HIP 28987 Empire Pact
Codorain Network
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.
