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:

Parhul Silver Electronics Hldgs

Allied Kui Xenab Regulatory State

Betel Free

League of Ross 1015

Defence Force of LHS 1122

Gliese 9106 Partners

Zhu Vedani Blue Transport Dev

New Rutujil People's Party

Haeduwong Systems

NLTT 8084 Natural Services

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:

Eranin Peoples Party

Zugen Incorporated

Bodb Dearg Order

Confederation of Dahan

Peng Dung Jet Creative Network

Cegreeth Citizens' Forum

Bureau of Tetrian Liberty Party

Jaques

Eta Horologii Gold Vision PLC

HIP 117865 Empire Pact

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.
