  • 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:

    League of Villae

    Ruchbah Industry

    Wolf 359 Blue Travel Commodities

    Union of Wolf 359 Labour

    LHS 3479 Interstellar

    Natural Toolfa Nationalists

    Luyten 674-15 Industries

    United Chimba League

    Allied Ualapalor League

    Liaedin Electronics PLC

    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

    G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

    Kokary Holdings

    Limapa Blue State Commodities

    Zelano Systems

    Kokary Liberals

    Coquim Industry

    Chamunda Crimson Gang

    GCRV 4654 State Interstellar

    Ololos Drug Empire

    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.

  • January 23, 3303
  • 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:

    Colanja Gold Power Services

    Social Zaragas Independents

    New 31 Aquilae Green Party

    LTT 377 Purple General Corp.

    Order of Ethgreze

    G 41-14 Purple Travel Solutions

    Ruchbah Industry

    Cemiess Commodities

    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:

    LHS 535 Silver United Ltd

    49 Arietis Left Party

    San Guan Silver Family

    14 Herculis Commodities

    League of 36 Ursae Majoris

    Surya PLC

    Workers of MCC 445 Green Party

    HIP 1419 Empire Consulate

    Taurina Silver Transport PLC

    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.

  • December 1, 3303
  • Galactic News: Weekly Expansion Report

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

    Kondriates Prison Colony

    LHS 199 Guardians of Tradition

    Jaques

    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:

    Labour of Ethgreze

    Kokary Liberals

    Eranin Peoples Party

    BD+07 4267 Gold General PLC

  • Galactic News: Clandestine Federal-Imperial Negotiations?

    Animosity between the Empire and the Federation has been growing for months, but leaked communications suggest that clandestine negotiations may be taking place between the two superpowers.

    Jason Nygaard, a reporter for The Federal Times, said:

    "We believe the Federation is meeting with Imperial dignities behind closed doors. The nature of these meetings isn't clear, but we have noted unusual ship movements around the historic Cambridge space port."

    Cambridge, once of the few ancient Earth cities preserved in its historic form, is notably free from surveillance. It has been associated with many remarkable events in its long history.

  • Galactic News: Superpowers Respond to Strange Sightings

    Following reports of mysterious spacecraft in human-inhabited space, the leaders of the galaxy's three superpowers have released official statements.

    Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval, currently undertaking a tour of Imperial systems, exhibited reservation:

    "To surmise that these encounters constitute proof of the existence of non-human intelligence would be rash in the extreme. We cannot rule out the possibility that these ships could be experimental human spacecraft, or even the product of an intricate hoax. I urge all Imperial citizens to remain calm, and not to leap to conclusions."

    Federal President Zachary Hudson, meanwhile, struck a characteristically strident tone:

    "I have reviewed the footage submitted by the galactic community. Granted, the evidence is not conclusive. But tell me this: Would you rather prepare for an attack that may not come, or be met by an attack you did not prepare for? We know nothing about the true nature or purpose of these vessels. It would be in our best interest to prepare for any eventuality."

    By contrast, Alliance Prime Minister Edmund Mahon was diplomatic:

    "Like the Emperor, I believe it would be premature to conclude that these are non-human spacecraft. But it is clear to me that these encounters warrant further investigation. We must gather further evidence, and keep an open mind. Knowledge, not ignorance. Proof, not speculation. That is the way forward."

  • January 12, 3303
  • Community Goal: Conflict in Parun

    It has been several weeks since conflict was reported between the Empire and the Federation, following months of hostility between the two superpowers. The last incident connected to the Empire-Federation rift was a clash between the Pleiades Resource Enterprise and the Ant Hill Mob in November. Since then, there have been no reports of conflict.

    But intelligence recovered from the Parun system indicates that Laksmii Jet Power Industries, an Empire-aligned organisation, has devised a plot to smuggle quantities of personal weapons, explosives and reactive armour into Underwood Port. It is understood that Imperial agents based in the system will use these items to conduct guerrilla attacks against the Independents of Parun, the system's controlling faction.

    Having received word of this plot, the Independents of Parun has placed bounties on all Laksmii Jet Power Industries ships operating in Parun in the hope of thwarting the operation. Both factions have appealed to the galactic community for support, promising to reward pilots who support their campaigns.

    The rival operations begin on the 12th of January 3303 and will run for one week. If either organisation achieves its aims earlier than planned, the operations will end immediately.
