Galactic News: Cold War Thawing?

Following news that scientists from the Alliance, Empire and Federation have united to form a new research initiative, speculation is mounting that the cold war between the Empire and the Federation could be nearing an end.

As the conflict enters its second year, a number of commentators have expressed hope that peace might be in sight. The Imperial Herald's political correspondent, Daxton Sung, offered the following analysis:

"It's inevitable that the formation of Aegis would lead to assumptions that the cold war is ending, but unfortunately there's little evidence to that effect. These are the galaxy's largest superpowers we're talking about. The fact that there's accord among certain sectors doesn't mean there's harmony at every level."

"But what does either side have to gain from maintaining its position? Neither the Empire nor the Federation has demonstrated it can prevent the other from extracting meta-alloys, which is supposedly what this conflict is all about. The only person to have been significantly affected by all this is poor old Professor Palin, who's still languishing behind a Federal blockade."

"Frankly, the situation is farcical. I suspect both Arissa Lavigny-Duval and Zachary Hudson know they're better off calling time on the whole thing, but neither side wants to be seen as ceding to the other. It's about pride, essentially. Shouldn't our leaders be above such things?"

Neither Federal nor Imperial sources elected to comment.

Galactic News: Weekly Expansion Report

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 10570 Constitution Party

Chick Ek Partnership

Cerno Independents

Mbayame Domain

Toxanda Public Organisation

Picus Jet State Company

Khants Systems

LTT 970 Holdings

Conservatives of Grebatabea

Yaringu Blue Dynamic Industry

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:

Crimson State Group

Limapa Blue State Commodities

V886 Centauri Future

Peng Dung Jet Creative Network

Bureau of Tetrian Liberty Party

Almas Corporation

Defence Party of NLTT 57668

Paletes Interstellar

Arapathaka Empire Party

LP 350-75 Fortune Company

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.

Galactic News: Weekly Economic Report

This report presents the latest data on the economic health of the galaxy's minor factions.

Here are the latest factions to experience an economic boom:

Laedla and Co

Opila Ltd

Kokary Liberals

Kini Drug Empire

LHS 3479 Interstellar

Brani Federal Holdings

Allied FK5 2550 Autocracy

Ololos Drug Empire

Liaedin Mafia

Lave Jet Family

Boom is usually the result of consistent trade profit and completed trade contracts. When a faction experiences a boom, the wealth of the system it controls temporarily increases and trade missions completed in the system have double the effect on influence. The faction's influence may also increase. Booms typically last until they naturally expire.

Here are the latest factions to experience an economic bust:

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

WISE 0855-0714 Gold Gang

Apoyota Domain

Quator Ring

Nationalists of Aulin

United Nang Ta-khian Confederacy

Orishpucho Jet Hand Gang

38 Lyncis Comms Network

Sif League

Caraswang Gold Public Inc

When a faction experiences a bust, the wealth of the system it controls is temporarily reduced and the faction's influence is temporarily diminished. Trade actions do not contribute to boom while a bust is active. A bust typically has to run its course before ending.

Gold Netcoms Limited

Calennero Crew

HR 3635 Universal and Co

Dinkas Purple Posse

LP 726-6 Partners

Wolf 440 Federal PLC

Selgeth Coordinated

Galactic News: Voices of Dissent

Reports that the Federal–Imperial cold war could soon end have resulted in jubilation in many parts of the galaxy.

While the impact of the conflict has been relatively modest, many thousands of galactic citizens have nevertheless been disrupted. But as talk of a truce gains ground, anonymous sources have reported that influential Imperials have questioned the wisdom of withdrawing from the Pleiades.

Daxton Sung of the Imperial Herald said:

"Can the Federation be trusted? That's the question the Empire is asking. Assuming both sides agree to withdraw, the Empire is worried that the Federation will renege on the deal. But such heel-dragging is to be expected. The fact is that there's a real desire, on both sides of the fence, to end this ridiculous conflict."

LHS 1387 Jet Mob

Natural Toolfa Nationalists

HIP 105639 Party

Civil wars occur when minor factions compete for control of major assets such as starports. When a faction is involved in a civil war, the standard of living, development level and security level in the system it controls are temporarily reduced. Combat activities can bring a civil war to an end.

Here are the latest factions to experience war:

Brotherhood of LP 98-132

Kokary Liberals

Liberals of Delta Pavonis

Chicoana Silver Travel Corp.

Modgud Commodities

Green Party of Dulos

Gitxsan Limited

Wars occur when a minor faction invades a star system controlled by another minor faction. For the duration of the war, the standard of living, wealth level and security level in the disputed system are reduced. Combat activity between the two warring factions determines the outcome of the conflict. If neither faction succeeds in dominating the other, the war ends in a ceasefire.

Galactic News: Federal Blockade Ends

In October last year, the Federation was criticised for positioning a Farragut-class Battlecruiser above Maia A 3 a, not far from the personal research base of Professor Ishmael Palin.

The deployment, which came only days after Professor Palin announced a breakthrough in his research into meta-alloys, was widely interpreted as an attempt to restrict Palin's movement and curtail his research.

The condemnation of rival political powers and the efforts of a number of political campaigners did little to affect the blockade. But recent reports from Maia indicate that the Federal ships have now withdrawn, effectively ending the cordon of Maia A 3 a. Rici Stewart, writing for The Imperial Herald, offering the following evaluation:

"The Federation knows that blockading Professor Palin was – at best – unethical, so I'm not surprised they chose not to comment on their withdrawal. They just slipped away in the night."

"As with their efforts to control meta-alloys, the Federation's attempts to restrict access to Palin's base were far from successful. I guess the Federation has realised it can't control the galaxy. If you ask me, this is another sign that the Federal-Imperial cold war could be coming to an end."

Naturally, Professor Palin was pleased with the development:

"We may never know exactly why the Federation blockaded Maia A 3 a. Frankly the galaxy's superpowers have always been rather incomprehensible to me. All I can say is: I'm glad they're gone."
