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:
Partnership of Nitikaba
Atung Mussa Purple Comms Ind
Yimanbin Nationalists
Osuntes Interstellar
Cakutsi Movement
Koing Dynasty
Democrats of HIP 57080
Union of Aiaba Partnership
Awa One
Alliance of Gunwini
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:
HIP 13269 Silver Drug Empire
Sui Xenates Indie Union
Movement for Pienate Labour
HIP 17984 Gold Brotherhood
Kikua Empire Party
Coalition of Djagana
Unified Tagarilocan
Kumbia Ltd
Wakam Central Commodities
Orisala Co-operative
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.
