<blockquote>
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:

Li K'anja Energy Industries

Partnership of Li Cha

Pleiades Resource Enterprise

Independents of Lie Yupik

Black Omega

Kacomam Empire Group

LHS 411 Advanced Incorporated

Paeling Blue Life and Co

Vadimo Patrons of Law

Browncoat Uprising

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 64 Arietis

Law Party of Umaitis

Partnership of HIP 19147

Nuevo Orden de Comandantes Imperiales

CD-87 103 Imperial Society

Yen Di Travel Inc

Tsanyala Patrons of Law

New Tjindjin Revolutionary Party

Workers of K Camelopardalis Resistance

Kuruages Republic Party

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.
