    United Wat Yu Confederacy

  • 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:

    Laedla and Co

    Opila Ltd

    Kokary Liberals

    Kini Drug Empire

    LHS 3479 Interstellar

    Brani Federal Holdings

    Allied FK5 2550 Autocracy

    Ololos Drug Empire

    Liaedin Mafia

    Lave Jet Family

    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:

    Brotherhood of LP 98-132

    WISE 0855-0714 Gold Gang

    Apoyota Domain

    Quator Ring

    Nationalists of Aulin

    United Nang Ta-khian Confederacy

    Orishpucho Jet Hand Gang

    38 Lyncis Comms Network

    Sif League

    Caraswang Gold Public Inc

    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.

  • September 3, 3303
  • Galactic News: Weekly Expansion Report

    This report presents the latest data on expansion and withdrawal among the galaxy's minor factions.

    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.

  • Galactic News: Cold War Thawing?

    Following news that scientists from the Alliance, Empire and Federation have united to form a new research initiative, speculation is mounting that the cold war between the Empire and the Federation could be nearing an end.

    As the conflict enters its second year, a number of commentators have expressed hope that peace might be in sight. The Imperial Herald’s political correspondent, Daxton Sung, offered the following analysis:

    “It’s inevitable that the formation of Aegis would lead to assumptions that the cold war is ending, but unfortunately there’s little evidence to that effect. These are the galaxy’s largest superpowers we’re talking about. The fact that there’s accord among certain sectors doesn’t mean there’s harmony at every level.”

    “But what does either side have to gain from maintaining its position? Neither the Empire nor the Federation has demonstrated it can prevent the other from extracting meta-alloys, which is supposedly what this conflict is all about. The only person to have been significantly affected by all this is poor old Professor Palin, who’s still languishing behind a Federal blockade.”

    “Frankly, the situation is farcical. I suspect both Arissa Lavigny-Duval and Zachary Hudson know they’re better off calling time on the whole thing, but neither side wants to be seen as ceding to the other. It’s about pride, essentially. Shouldn’t our leaders be above such things?”

    Neither Federal nor Imperial sources elected to comment.

  • 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:

    Dulos Defence Party

    Machatkwa Inc

    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:

    Order of Ethgreze

    Bureau of HIP 1914 Focus

    Liberals of Delta Pavonis

    i Bootis Democrats

    Njikan Jet Dynamic Industry

    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.

    Tphene Collective

    Revolutionary Eluskapu Partnership

    Kwarandji Comms Industries

    Lunguni First

    Chimasates Blue United Org

    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.
