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:

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:
Independents of Mildeptu
Gitxsan Limited
Autocracy of Phi Gruis
Ambivas Power Partners
LHS 3598 Transport Group
Regulatory State of Kausan
Smethells 119 Front
LTT 700 Jet Major Holdings
Baraswar Crimson Vision Ltd
Wolf 294 Industry
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.
