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.<br />

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

Order of Ethgreze<br />

Crimson State Group<br />

HIP 9610 Jet Legal Systems<br />

Gitxsan Limited<br />

Kuwemargl Patrons of Law<br />

Brotherhood of Caerete<br />

Begovans Industry <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.
