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:
HIP 13269 Silver Drug Empire
Wolf 217 Left Party
Jaques
Alliance of Yemakinni
Partnership of Bean
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:
Xuanduna Imperial Society
Serrot Blue General Group
BD+14 2955 Republic Party
Coalition of Djagana
GR 316 Silver Universal Group
Posse of HIP 97337
Bhumato Crimson Brothers
Kumbia Ltd
League of Benapem Focus
Any Kutjara Legal Incorporated
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.
