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:
The Pilots Federation
39 Tauri Interstellar
Liberals of Delta Pavonis
Co-operative of Yiman
Kuwemargl Patrons of Law
Heike Co
Kapurri Emperor's Grace
Kondriates Prison Colony
LHS 199 Guardians of Tradition
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:
Labour of Ethgreze
Kokary Liberals
Eranin Peoples Party
BD+07 4267 Gold General PLC
LHS 3598 Transport Group
HIP 13269 Silver Drug Empire
Dominion of Skadjalini
HIP 113632 Empire Consulate
Aisoci Empire League
Briganu Confederacy
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.
