<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:

HIP 112052 Central Corporation

Branglal PLC

Leschanatya Future

Future of LTT 911

Ngun Patron's Principles

Coalition of Djagana

Yhele Empire Party

HIP 29964 Patrons of Law

Sokaram Citizens of Tradition

Gliese 9106 Partners

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

Limapa Blue State Commodities

39 Tauri Interstellar

Gitxsan Limited

Momotaro Silver State PLC

BD+07 4267 Gold General PLC

Nasaraudi Jet Mob

Bodb Dearg Order

Social LHS 449 Partnership

LHS 199 Guardians of Tradition

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.
