  • Galactic News: Weekly Security Report

    This report presents the latest data on the security status of the galaxy’s minor factions.

    Here are the latest factions to experience a lockdown:

    Ngaliba Blue Camorra

    Brotherhood of LP 98-132

    Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

    Priva Industry

    Nationalists of Aulin

    Opala Power Commodities

    Sifjar Group

    United Ither Justice Party

    Crimson Major Incorporated

    Independents of HIP 115501

    When a faction experiences a lockdown, the security rating of the system it controls temporarily increases and the system’s wealth temporarily decreases. Bounty hunting activity can shorten the lockdown period.

    Here are the latest factions to experience civil unrest:

    Kini Drug Empire

    Crimson State Group

    Chicoana Silver Travel Corp.

    Autocracy of Phi Gruis

    i Bootis Democrats

    Bhotho Rats

    Independents of LHS 3262

    Aulin Focus

    Regulatory State of Murung

    Quince Jet Family

    Civil unrest is the result of illegal activity. When a faction is affected by civil unrest, the standard of living in the system it controls temporarily decreases, as does the system’s wealth. Combat missions and activities can bring civil unrest to an end.

  • 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:

    Uru Federal Interstellar

    Avan Labour Union

    Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

    Union of Wolf 359 Labour

    Lords of Ngaliba

    Potriti Gold Mafia

    Cemiess Commodities

    Coquim Industry

    Orrere Ring

    Eravate Life Services

    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:

    Akbakshu United

    League of Ross 1015

    Aleutes Bureau

    League of Orishpucho Movement

    League of 36 Ursae Majoris

    Leaders of Santal

    HIP 86063 Cartel

    Orishpucho Crimson Legal Int

    Papako Crimson Federal and Co

    People's LFT 551 League

    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: Generation Ship Found

    Before the development of faster-than-light travel, colonising distant star systems depended on vast interstellar arks known as generation ships. There are believed to be more than 70,000 of these ships in the galaxy, the location of many of which is not known.

    But now one of these ‘lost’ ships has been found. A transmission recovered from a listening post in the LHS 1047 system led a pair of independent pilots to the Alaunus system, where the generation ship ‘Lycaor’ was discovered. Tragically, it appears that the ship’s crew was killed by an unidentified pathogen, no doubt many centuries ago. This was confirmed by remotely accessing the ship’s medical logs.

    System authorities have urged pilots not to interfere with the vessel, which is still protected by the legislature instated at the time of its launch.

  • 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:

    Wolf 217 Left Party

    Nun Major Industry

    HIP 65921 Silver Bridge Systems

    Kelish Citizens' Forum

    Gliese 9106 Partners

    Koing Dynasty

    Union of Laguvii

    Union of Rang Guans Revolutionary Party

    Labour Union of Ahayan

    Future of Guayambaan

    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

    Khodhis Exchange

    HIP 65921 Silver Bridge Systems

    Djinaura Brotherhood

    Syntec Industries

    Purple Universal Co

    Orisala Co-operative

    Future of Guayambaan

    Kamarada Jet Legal Services

    HIP 19198 Future

    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: Federal-Imperial Conflict in Merope

    Authorities in the Merope system have reported conflict between the Pleiades Resource Enterprise, a Federal organisation, and the Merope Expeditionary Fleet, an Imperial organisation. The clash represents the latest development in the ongoing proxy war between the Empire and the Federation.

    Significantly, the two factions were until recently embroiled in conflict in the Maia system. It is understood the Pleiades Resource Enterprise withdrew from the conflict specifically so it could engage Merope Expeditionary Fleet forces in Merope. This has led to speculation that the Pleiades Resource Enterprise was ordered to enter Merope and by the Federation.

    Security forces in Merope have confirmed that the fighting is localised at present, with no significant impact on civilian settlements.

    Freelance journalist Katherine Ryder commented on the development:

    “As long as the fighting remains contained, there’s no cause for alarm. There’s a world of difference between inter-faction skirmishes and all-out war between the galaxy’s two largest superpowers. Full-scale conflict between the Empire and the Federation might never happen.”

  • 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:

    Ruchbah Industry

    Vanayequi Independents

    Eranin Peoples Party

    Liberty Party of LP 751-1

    Revolutionary Heheng Future

    Natural Toolfa Nationalists

    Leaders of BD-08 2963

    Luyten 674-15 Industries

    Luyten's Star Co

    Gandui Empire Group

    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:

    Colanja Gold Power Services

    Yakabugai Exchange

    G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

    Kokary Holdings

    Limapa Blue State Commodities

    Kokary Liberals

    United LHS 3479 Green Party

    Labour of Ethgreze

    Coalition of Ngaliba

    LTT 377 Purple General Corp.

    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: Imperial Initiative Succeeds

    The Merope Expeditionary Fleet has announced that the Imperial campaign to amass material for a new outpost in the Maia system has reached a successful conclusion. Hundreds of pilots supported the initiative by delivering construction materials to Obsidian Orbital in the Maia system.

    As the campaign drew to a close, Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval released a brief statement, thanking those who supported the initiative. It is expected that work on the new outpost will begin imminently.

    Pilots who contributed to the campaign can now collect their rewards from Obsidian Orbital in the Maia system.

  • Community Goal: The Gear of War

    The Sitakapan Expeditionary Forces have announced plans to fortify their home system of Sitakapa by converting a mining outpost into a military settlement. The move is a response to increasing political and military instability across the galaxy.

    General Ani Leonard of Sitakapan Expeditionary Forces announced:

    "Our galaxy becomes more dangerous every day. Whether it's the Federation sowing unrest in the Pleiades, fringe-terrorism from Salomè and her lackeys or hyperdictions from unknown parties, the risks are greater than they've ever been. And the frontier colonies are most at risk. We must be prepared."

    General Leonard promised that contractors who deliver military-grade weapons and chemicals to Russell Hub will earn a cut of Sitakapa's booming wealth – the result of years of economic development.

    The campaign begins on the 27th of April 3302 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

  • Community Goal: Restoring Order in Cartoq

    Authorities in the Cartoq system have reported a sharp increase in the number of criminals operating in the area. Reports indicate that the agitators are attacking pilots travelling in the system, disrupting trade and generally causing discord.

    To counter this threat, the Cartoq Purple Major Organisation has placed a kill order on all wanted ships operating in the Cartoq system, and has promised to reward pilots who deliver bounty vouchers to Avdeyev Settlement.

    The campaign begins on 27th of April 3303 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.
