Here are the latest factions in withdrawal:<br />

Pirates of Bean<br />

Annarr Dynamic Corp.<br />

Sui Xenates Indie Union<br />

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.
