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:
G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions
HIP 73428 Exchange
HIP 8593 Empire League
Ross 754 Labour
Nahua Citizens' Forum
G 99-49 Life Industry

HIP 115314 Jet Crew
HIP 113454 Crew
HIP 65921 Silver Bridge 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:
Eranin Peoples Party
Independents of Mildeptu
39 Tauri Interstellar
Labour of Geras
Zugen Incorporated
Durius Dominion
Inupiates Patrons of Law
Zeus Bureau
HR 8170 Brotherhood
Xuanduna Imperial Society
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.
