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:
Ambivas Power Partners
G 99-49 Life Industry
Durius Dominion
Alliance of Yemakinni
Workers of Ahaykenkan Confederacy
Mentesuri Network
Coalition of Reieni
Khruvani Universal Organisation
Kwatyriel and Co
Aguane Shared
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:
Order of Ethgreze
Firdaus Transport Company
Tau-2 Gruis A United Systems
Coalition of Djagana
Kotigen Natural Organisation
LTT 537 Future
Independents of HIP 22006
HIP 20916 Left Party
Lumbla Universal PLC
HIP 47058 Central Corp.
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.
