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:
Vanayequi Independents
Durius Dominion
HR 8170 Brotherhood
Djabe Order
Jaques
Revolutionary Abazates Democrats
Partnership of Triviatii
Lampade Empire Party
HIP 27371 Empire League
Wolf 718 Comms Solutions
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:
Crimson State Group
Iptera Allied Corp.
Nahua Citizens' Forum
Social Bakaduninka Future
HIP 113100 Silver Ring1
Firdaus Transport Company
HIP 114044 Empire Group
Lao Zi Blue Fortune Corp.
Peng Dung Jet Creative Network
Karsha Empire Consulate
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.
