  • Galactic News: Weekly Economic Report

    This report presents the latest data on the economic health of the galaxy’s minor factions.

    Here are the latest factions to experience an economic boom:

    Order of Ethgreze

    Brotherhood of LP 98-132

    Laedla and Co

    Union of Wolf 359 Labour

    Coquim Industry

    Zelano Systems

    Opila Ltd

    Kokary Liberals

    Chamunda Crimson Gang

    Kini Drug Empire

    Boom is usually the result of consistent trade profit and completed trade contracts. When a faction experiences a boom, the wealth of the system it controls temporarily increases and trade missions completed in the system have double the effect on influence. The faction’s influence may also increase. Booms typically last until they naturally expire.

    Here are the latest factions to experience an economic bust:

    Quator Ring

    Indaol Blue Major Corporation

    Libanatya Gold Netcoms Comms

    Chukchu Allied Network

    LHS 3080 Coalition

    Volcae Independents

    United Kini Coalitio

    WISE 0855-0714 United Exchange

    Workers of Lalande 29917 Green Party

    Official Eravate Flag

    When a faction experiences a bust, the wealth of the system it controls is temporarily reduced and the faction’s influence is temporarily diminished. Trade actions do not contribute to boom while a bust is active. A bust typically has to run its course before ending.

  • Galactic News: Weekly Expansion Report

    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.

  • Galactic News: New Research Centre at Thargoid Site

    As the number of newly discovered Thargoid structures continues to grow, reports from the Pleiades Sector IR-W D1-55 indicate that the Oracle, an Ocellus starport, has relocated to the system in order to study the region’s Thargoid structure.

    Governor Ahmed, the starport’s principal administrator, released the following statement:

    “The Oracle has long been a hub for scientific research, and in recent years many of our researchers have started focusing on Unknown Artefacts and Probes. The Thargoid structures are ripe for further study, and I therefore believe it is essential that we have a dedicated research centre at one of these sites.”

    “We need to know more about the Thargoids – what they want, why they’re here and ideally how to communicate with them. My hope is that the Oracle will help us answer some of these questions.”

    The Oracle is expected to arrive in the Pleiades Sector IR-W D1-55 within the next few days.

  • Galactic News: Weekly Conflict Report

    This report presents the latest data on conflict among the galaxy’s minor factions.

    Here are the latest factions to experience a civil war:

    Aymifa Resistance

    Villae Cartel

    Liaedin Electronics PLC

    Zhu Veddi State Limited

    Mob of HIP 7106

    Progressive Party of Ross 210

    Civil wars occur when minor factions compete for control of major assets such as starports. When a faction is involved in a civil war, the standard of living, development level and security level in the system it controls are temporarily reduced. Combat activities can bring a civil war to an end.

    Here are the latest factions to experience war:

    HIP 22145 Gold Mafia

    Coquim Industry

    Crimson State Group

    Co-operative of Yiman

    HIP 96289 Blue Major Inc

    Khakum Prison Colony

    Independents of Jura Lungs

    Democrats of BD-02 4304

    Condovichs Purple Partnership

    Ciguru Republic Party

    Wars occur when a minor faction invades a star system controlled by another minor faction. For the duration of the war, the standard of living, wealth level and security level in the disputed system are reduced. Combat activity between the two warring factions determines the outcome of the conflict. If neither faction succeeds in dominating the other, the war ends in a ceasefire.

  • Galactic News: Federal Outpost Campaign Concludes

    A Federal spokesperson has announced that the Federation’s appeal for construction materials has received the wholehearted support of the galactic community. Hundreds of pilots contributed to the campaign by delivering construction materials to Blackmount Orbital in HIP 17692, and by eliminating agitators in the system so traders could deliver commodities in safety.

    In a statement, the spokesperson said:

    “This new outpost will give us an excellent vantage point from which to monitor the Thargoids. Those who supported this initiative have our sincere gratitude.”

    Pilots who contributed to the initiative can now collect their rewards from Blackmount Orbital in the HIP 17692 system.

  • Community Goal: NULL Campaign Begins

    NULL, an independent organisation based in LTT 4961, has announced plans to build a new base at Greg's Legacy, a large asteroid named after one of the organisation’s founding members.

    The organisation has placed an open order for titanium, aluminium, copper and tea in support of this initiative, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver these goods to Conway City in LTT 4961. It has also placed a kill order on all ships on its wanted list, as part of an initiative to rid the system of corruption and crime.

    A spokesperson for NULL released the following statement:

    “Having secured the necessary funds, we are now in a position to offer generous rewards to pilots who support this two-pronged initiative. With the help of the galaxy’s independent pilots, we hope to both expand the economic power of LTT 4961 and bring peace to the system.”

    The operation begins on the 13th of July 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.
