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 10570 Constitution Party
Chick Ek Partnership
Cerno Independents
Mbayame Domain
Toxanda Public Organisation
Picus Jet State Company
Khants Systems
LTT 970 Holdings
Conservatives of Grebatabea
Yaringu Blue Dynamic Industry
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:
Crimson State Group
Limapa Blue State Commodities
V886 Centauri Future
Peng Dung Jet Creative Network
Bureau of Tetrian Liberty Party
Almas Corporation
Defence Party of NLTT 57668
Paletes Interstellar
Arapathaka Empire Party
LP 350-75 Fortune Company
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.
