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:

LHS 1442 Exchange

Democrats of Nyoru

The Gathering

Apadecavi Blue General Solutions

Wattunukam Monarchy

Langjela Blue Galactic Exchange

Future of LHS 3877

BD-20 2665 State Organisation

Vucasto Patrons of Law

LHS 1391 Patron's Principles

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:

HO Bootis Corporation

HIP 18527 Silver Energy PLC

Wayutabal Empire Pact

Revolutionary Party of Pepper

Gold Systems Ltd

HIP 32135 Fortune Network

Ahanyamwezi Creative Inc

Biataxo Coalition

Cao Guatun Empire Consulate

LTT 1272 Corporation

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.
