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:
Nun Major Industry
Movement for Tobarci Confederacy
Imset Patron's Principles
New Rutujil People's Party
Gunwithhogg Travel Industries
HR 8250 Camorra
Param Co-operative
Maribone Silver Electronics Co
Kwatyriel and Co
Othi Silver Legal Corp.
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:
HR 8170 Brotherhood
Wolf 217 Left Party
Anduliga Empire Group
Njangamarda Empire Party
Brotherhood of Caerete
Begovans Industry
Liu Di Imperial Society
Atlantis Empire League
BD+14 2955 Republic Party
Tatapai Empire Assembly
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.
