Official Faction Activity Reports - Q1 2026

Name of Faction: The Unione Corse
Name of Faction Leader: @Kherty
Number of Active Players this Quarter:4 active players (confirmed)

What have you done to advance your faction’s goals this quarter?
As this is our first quarterly check after the OF rework, we mostly built on what we were already doing, and started turning that into clearer priorities going forward. Thus, we have done:

Contacted & interacted with multiple factions (GNI, Unioners, Corsairs (DTR, TBH, etc.), etc.) to expand our access and influence across Sirius (white, grey, and black markets access and supplying).
Continued building RP and coordination around the Provence southern flank / Orkney jump hole situation.
Preparing the acquisition of a capital-class ship (via SRP or else) for the defense of Provence’s southern flank.
Increased forum activity and presence (e.g. via MDs, comms.)
We have requested the UC/- Roundel (FR17). [↗]
We have requested a dedicated /restart for the Unione Corse (FR14) to facilitate new/returning members and new ships to be deployed and used (esp. due to the indie restart being buggy)
Continued fixing our information page after Imgur removals (dead links, missing images, etc.). [↗]

What are your faction’s goals for the next quarter?
Our goals for the next quarter are:

Continue the roleplay with the Order, ARM, GNI, about Orkney in order to prepare an event around an expedition to Orkney and Tau-61.
Set up a roleplay link with the RPA in Dublin as a continuation of the in-game roleplay and MD efforts (in the form of deliveries of arms). [↗]
Resume the development of the POBs in Provence, and publish the Provence Partnership (a mutually-beneficial partnership framework for the POBs)
Prepare a new page, for Monte Cinto Station, and flesh out Saint Florent Shipping Facility's more, in order to achieve Core 4 for one or both of them. [↗]
Continuing the efforts to repair and replace the dead links in our information page. (see above)
Publish the awards and decorations of the Unione Corse for, and to reflect, its more governmental/formal aspect.
Formalize the laws of Provence to avoid further confusion.
Protect Provence's southern flank from the Orkney unstable jump hole (see below)
Acquire a cruiser or similar ship as a "secondary flagship", for the defense of the southern flank of Provence.
Prepare a joint expedition to Orkney and Tau-61 alongside the Order and GNI.
Set up RP-focused event(s), such as hosting a race in Provence with rewards.

What have you done to drive activity and promote high quality roleplay this quarter?

Many in-game roleplay and/or forum encounters with various factions, and players, such as the with the Order, ARM, GNI, others (see above).
Participation in events by other members and/or factions.
Held multiple in-game RP, combat and piracy encounters with players and factions, and maintained regular faction presence through bounty activity, flights.
Re-engaged in RP with Provence PoB administrators.
Participated in events hosted by other factions/members

How would you like your NPC faction’s story to be developed moving forward?
We believe that the Unione Corse NPC faction should:

Deeper, pragmatic relations with the Corsairs factions, and other quasi-legal and criminal factions, in Gallia and Sirius.
Assist both sides of the Planet Marne riots RP, to both Gallic Corporations and Rioters,
Intensify (RP) tourism efforts (see above, linked to a faction goal),

What roleplay, events, or activities have you done this quarter to promote this development?
We participated in multiple events this quarter, and expanded faction diplomacy and routine activity, but we did not host a dedicated event just yet. Next quarter, our priority is converting the Orkney planning arc into a hosted operation (joint reconnaissance event project), supported by continued forum comms, and in-game RP, (see above), and finally, we have done quite a lot of varied activities, such as logging and flying together.

So during this quarter, most of our activity was focused on ongoing RP, and in-game rather than a single hosted event. This includes:

Regular in-game RP and encounters with players and factions across Gallia, Provence, the Taus, Bretonia, the Omicrons, etc. (Sirius).
Continued interactions and comms. with factions such as the Order, ARM, and GNI, especially around the Orkney unstable jump hole urgent situation. (see above)
Participation in events hosted by other factions (for example, the event of yesterday [↗]).
Internal activity (bounty board, POB-related RP, and general faction presence).

We have not hosted a dedicated event this quarter. Our current focus (and for Q2) is to turn on the Orkney situation properly, and turn it into a proper event (see above, the planned joint expedition event) for the next quarter, supported by the RP and comms. that are already in place and that will be continued for the next quarter.

RE: Official Faction Activity Reports - Q1 2026 - Sirius Coalition - 03-30-2026

SCRA ACTIVITY REPORT

NAME OF FACTION:

SCRA| Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army

NAME OF FACTION LEADER:

@LaWey

NUMBER OF ACTIVE PLAYERS THIS QUARTER:

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ADVANCE YOUR FACTION’S GOALS THIS QUARTER?

Laws were reworked to represent changes in lore and economy.
The Mission Commission was reintroduced to create a tool to promote activity among coalition players.

WHAT ARE YOUR FACTION’S GOALS FOR THE NEXT QUARTER?

As becomes clear at the middle of the quarter, we need fresh blood, as old members burn out, or get too much IRL load, and we can’t hold pace. So, reworking the recruitment process, ranks and promotion system I see as a main goal, as all we need for real is some rotation between active members.
Another important goal - is to finally finish the faction information page and lore, connecting together modern story devs vision, and faction tradition, as it is very confusing right now.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO DRIVE ACTIVITY AND PROMOTE HIGH QUALITY ROLEPLAY THIS QUARTER?

We played different patrols, NPC-hunting, trading convoys, etc, to consistently present in space and create possibilities for interactions.
Forum side efforts were made to unify faction style, and deeper develop characters traits. “Katzism/McIntoshism dynamic” was underplayed in recent years, as well as the fact that characters are not just bots, and have their own visions and ideals.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR NPC FACTION’S STORY TO BE DEVELOPED MOVING FORWARD?

I decided to go along with a story devs setup, but mixing it with our vision. In this quarter the main idea revolved around securing Omega front. The Sirius Coalition suffered fleet losses in Battle for Dublin, and Deep Omegas discovery added chaos, making the Supreme Council feel themselves vulnerable. So the main focus was on fighting Corsairs in omegas, and starting to explore Deep Omegas in attempts to secure it. Secondary focus was an attempt to try to help Mollys, as the Supreme Council considered possible Bretonian expansion as a vital threat. Incapable of directly fighting Bretonian forces, the Ministry of Truth decided to seek opportunities to create chaos on Bretonian fringes, to diminish pressure on Mollys, as well as collecting information about Drive Breach. If opportunities rise - provide possible help to other revolutionary movements.

Generally speaking, Coalition once again realised its limited resources, so Katzists vision became largely undisputed inside the Supreme Council, despite their own propaganda and ordinary personnel being mostly radically McIntoshists. Ministry of Truth ready to prevent any loyalty issues.

WHAT ROLEPLAY, EVENTS, OR ACTIVITIES HAVE YOU DONE THIS QUARTER TO PROMOTE THIS DEVELOPMENT?

To distract Corsairs Empire, Sirius Coalition decided to support Omicron zoners, utilise Vadim Biryukov personel contacts.
Army Staff analysed the situation and ordered to fight corsairs and explore Deep Omegas. (This is mission comission link, main idea is use it to represent current faction focus.)
Helping to Platform with cruiser, turn blind eye on how it got in their hands.

Seeking ways to went out of deadlock. Ministry of Truth increased its intel activity:
Desperate searching data about Drive Breach technology through any available ways.
Operation to capture BDM cargo, to investigate who that bold present at Rheinland
Infiltration to Bretonia.

RE: Official Faction Activity Reports - Q1 2026 - Hopewell - 03-31-2026

Faction Name: Samura Heavy Industries
Faction Leader Name: @pals
Number of Active Players this Quarter: 6

What did you do to advance your faction's objectives this quarter?
Samura focused mostly on advancing our current projects in regards to our main base, Xuanming Trade Center. Our focus here was shipbuilding, production of shipbuilding parts and refining Platinum. We publicated our progress in press releases and continued working with our allies and the public of Kusari. We gave guidance to newer players and indy Samura players.

What are your faction's objectives for the next quarter?
We plan to continue our operations on our base. We also hope to include new activities with our members. We will also continue to work with the other lawful Kusari factions. We are looking forward to seeing how the Liberty-Kusari tensions will play out, and are ready to assist Kusari with whatever they need (hopefully this will happen in this quarter, if not the next). We also plan to secure our supply of ores and refined ores from the Border Worlds, be it Platinum, Niobium or Fuel.
What did you do to boost activity and promote high-quality roleplay this quarter?
Samura fills the role of the trading factions in Discovery. Traders are the basis of activity in a house. We as traders, aim to make profit and make it hard for pirates to catch us. If pirates are around, we do often call for KNF, KSP, KOI or other friendly factions to help against the pirates. Samura fullfills mostly its own projects right now, but remains ready for contracts from the Kusari Government aswell as KNF and other allies.
In the forums, we mostly answer the people who contact us, helping them as much as possible to keep up our good public relations. Hopefully, with new developments in Kusari and our active regions, we can initiate more roleplay ourselves in the future.

How would you like the story of your NPC faction to be developed from here on out?
Samura is one of the most powerful corporations in Sirius and Kusari. Lately, it seems Samura's story has developed into a direction which the community and Samura's playerbase does not enjoy. The allegded insurance scam at Osaka and the questionable cleanup job at Roppongi come to mind. Those are parts of story which barely got any attention and interaction from the community. We believe that more positive events and story parts will attract better outcomes and more attention. There is little fun in being the "stupid bad megacorporation". We believe there is much potential in the conglomerate style of Samura. Perhaps smaller Samura owned companies could make for interesting story, perhaps even far beyond the borders of Kusari. Samura should get away from being a single minded megacorporation comitting fully to mistakes, but rather spread out and diversify its business, with only the main body of Samura continuing the important work within the core systems of Kusari.

What roleplays, events, or activities did you do this quarter to promote this development?
In this quarter, we mostly focused on continuing our usual activities. Internal changes within the factions were an additional challenge we overcame. Kusari right now is in preparation for a conflict with Liberty. Ones this important story part comes, we will be ready to create and participate in events and roleplay.

Note: There was a leadership change this quarter, just so you know. @Hopewell is second in command, but a board of advisors, including a predecessor @Geolog, to Hopewell and the @pals, as well as the @Master L, has been supporting the new leader, resulting in this first quarterly experience. We expect to improve our performance in the coming quarters. Thank you for your understanding.

RE: Official Faction Activity Reports - Q1 2026 - Vulkhard Muller - 04-01-2026

Name of Faction: Junker Congress
Name of Faction Leader: @Vulkhard Muller
Number of Active Players this Quarter: 4-5

What have you done to advance your faction’s goals this quarter?

Deterrence
Gen'an Chrysanthemums
Die Rote Front
Die Rote Front Continued
(In Progress) Opening Talks with Some (Assumed) Bretonian Group
Junkyard Revitalization

What are your faction’s goals for the next quarter?

Continuing the process of bringing The Junkyard back up to full functionality inrp after years of disrepair.
Laying the ground work to (hopefully) add a new PoB Faction Commodity.
trying to Implement new goods for Junkers to work with.

What have you done to drive activity and promote high quality roleplay this quarter?

By working with groups such as Die Rote Front, Gen'an Chrysanthemums, Deterrence we are opening avenues for other Junkers as well. GC being one of the two groups in Kusari that even tolerate Junkers means we must foster our relationship to ensure our continues access to those markets. Us doing this as a faction also allows indes to have some level of (at least initial) good graces. Hessians being the preeminent criminal organization in all of Rheinland also makes our relations with them quite profitable as they always need someone to bring their Diamonds to market not like they will contract Imperial Shipping to do it am I right?

How would you like your NPC faction’s story to be developed moving forward?

I have always thought Junkers getting more into Generic Ship "Manufacturing" would be a cool concept. Producing things like "Refurbished Engine Components" or "Lightly Used Hull Panels" things that no self respecting group would use (Example: Militaries and Police) but those desperate or careless (Example: Corps willing to cut corners, Criminal Groups) would pay well for only because the need for anything is more then the need for quality.

What roleplay, events, or activities have you done this quarter to promote this development?

This Development isn't something we have explicitly begun the basis of much of Congress' RP often centers around aiding certain groups in getting their hands on things they otherwise might not have available. While none of this is directly related to "Engines" or "Hull Panels" it is well within reason that these are things that could be expanded into. For example, in our talks with Deterrence we have delivered numerous quantities of traditional Hull Panels this could easily give us a foot in the door for offering them a more, budget conscious choice.
