<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:

Natural LP 811-17 Conservatives

Idomatyritu Travel Industries

Betel Free

Co-operative of Brangkalar

Caelinus Blue Life Co

Almas Corporation

Zhou Wang Citizens' Forum

Xhosag Imperial Society

Camundjiga Front

Camundjiga

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:

Revolutionary Heheng Future

Labour of Geras

Zugen Incorporated

Gitxsan Limited

Union of Delta Phoenicis Revolutionary Party

Fawaol Patrons of Law

Durius Dominion

Heike Co

LTT 15278 Commodities

Lao Zi Blue Fortune Corp.

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.
