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:
Union of Wolf 359 Labour
Opila Ltd
Kokary Liberals
Chamunda Crimson Gang
Kini Drug Empire
Brani Federal Holdings
Lave Jet Family
Alpha Centauri Gold Brotherhood
Revolutionary Party of Nuenets
39 Tauri Interstellar
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:
Apoyota Domain
Morgor Crimson Pirates
Nang Ta-khian Public Co
Indaol Independents
Democrats of Masans
Values Party of Orishpucho
Frigaha Purple Pirates
League of Tutumuye
Aristocrats of G 239-25
Ekonir Organisation
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.

Koing Dynasty
Mbayame Domain
Khruvani Universal Organisation
Bhisma State Corporation
Integrated Tzeltal
Lords of Kamil
Sun Pin Jet Federal Limited
United Vitola Unionists

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.

LHS 3384 Progressive Party
Eranin Peoples Party
Matia Empire League
Ngakwites Empire Consulate
Revolutionary Abazates Democrats
Gilyadar Front
Coalition of Djagana

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: Joint Superpower Initiative Announced
In recent weeks, a number of programmes have been launched to gather further information about the Thargoids. While the Federation has established an outpost in HIP 17692 to monitor Thargoid activity, independent organisation Abroin Universal PLC recently completed a campaign to amass material for a research centre in the Pleiades Nebula.
But not everyone believes such initiatives represent the best way to proceed, with a growing number of voices calling for an inter-superpower initiative that consolidates existing knowledge and resources.
Now these individuals are about to have their wishes granted. At a hastily convened press conference in the Sorbago system, Professor Alba Tesreau of the Achenar Research Council announced that a confederacy of scientists from the Empire, Federation and Alliance has united to establish a new organisation: Aegis. The organisation’s remit will be to gather further intelligence on the Thargoids and coordinate all future research.
Professor Tesreau said:
“While I applaud recent efforts to learn more about the Thargoids, we can achieve far more by working together. It is imperative that we coordinate our efforts, and share our knowledge and expertise. That is what Aegis has been created to achieve.”
“Naturally, the cold war between the Federation and the Empire has complicated efforts to make this initiative a reality. Fortunately, while there may be antagonism between our governments, there is a strong desire for collaboration and cooperation within the scientific community.”
Having received substantial funding from all three superpowers, Aegis will soon establish its first research outpost in the Pleiades Nebula.

AG+21 1754 Citizen Party
Liberty Party of LP 751-1
Allied FK5 2550 Autocracy
Liaedin Mafia
LHS 1387 Jet Mob
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:
Order of Ethgreze
Brotherhood of LP 98-132
Laedla and Co
Crimson State Group
Bureau of HIP 1914 Focus

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.

Community Goal: Conflict in Hehe
Authorities in the Hehe system have reported that conflict has erupted between Hehe Federal Interstellar and Hehe Camorra. System security forces have confirmed that the fighting began several hours ago and has escalated rapidly since then.
The conflict is understood to be territorial in nature, with both factions eager to take control of Hehe. Both sides have issued calls for support, and have pledged to reward combat pilots who rally to their respective causes.
A representative of system security forces commented on the development:
“Inter-faction conflict of this sort tends to be quite focused, and we believe that the probability of civilian casualties is low. Nevertheless, we’re advising anyone living or travelling in the system to exercise caution.”
The two factions have set out week-long operations to take control of the system, which will begin on the 3rd of August 3303.

Galactic News: Harma Silver Cartel Appeal Concludes
A spokesperson for the Harma Silver Cartel has announced that its appeal for rare alcohols has reached a successful conclusion. Hundreds of pilots supported the campaign by delivering rare alcohols and eliminating agitators so traders could reach Gabriel Enterprise safely.
The campaign’s success has already had a positive impact on Harma, as evidenced by the hundreds of pilots celebrating in bars throughout the system.
As the initiative drew to a close, the Cartel released a brief statement:
“To the galaxy’s independent pilots, we say this: the finest rum is waiting for you in Harma.”
Pilots who supported the campaign can now collect their rewards from Gabriel Enterprise in the Harma system.
