'''This month’s analysis of the [[influence]] held by key figures in the [[Core Systems|core systems]] has arrived, courtesy of [[Conrad Sterling]] of [[Vox Galactica]].''' | |||
His latest survey of system populations suggests the following five powers enjoy the largest sphere of influence: | |||
Rank 1: [[Edmund Mahon]] – 1,461 systems | |||
Rank 2: [[Aisling Duval]] - 1,436 systems | |||
Rank 3: [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval]] – 1,366 systems | |||
Rank 4: [[Yuri Grom]] – 1,041 systems | |||
Rank 5: [[Li Yong-Rui]] – 860 systems | |||
The largest increase in system influence belonged to Li Yong-Rui who can claim an additional 59 systems as supporters. | |||
Vox Galactica will provide another update on the state of the powers next month. | |||

=== Migration and Economic Boom in Newly Colonised Systems === | |||
[[File:News Image on foot 2.png|600px|centre]] | |||
'''Migrants are flocking from the core systems to begin new lives in the thousands of recently established colonies.''' | |||
A wave of independent colonisation efforts over the past few months have increased human territory considerably. While many of these [[star system]]s have been classified as ‘waypoints’, with singular docking [[outpost]]s for journeys between systems with wider infrastructure, a significant number have been expanded with multiple [[starport]]s and [[settlement]]s. | |||
It is these that billions of people are now heading towards in the hope of starting fresh. Workers and their families are starting to arrive in large numbers, bringing with them a major boost to economic output. | |||
With the influx of population, the new colonies will be more capable of producing their own colonisation-related commodities, with economies now driven by linking installations and markets placed throughout the system. Analysts believe that, over time, this ability to self-sustain expansion efforts will prove vital if the colonies are to be successful in the long term. | |||
Professor [[Irene Ralston]], head of political history at [[Olympus Village University]], wrote for the [[Federal Times]]: | |||
“''It is fair to say that, in terms of scale, this is the largest migration event in human history. This migration appears to be fuelled by a hope for a new chapter — the chance to become part of a ‘new frontier’. No doubt the upheaval of the recent Thargoid invasion had some influence in the decision making, but the sheer numbers involved are fascinating''.” | |||
It is expected that, when economies and populations begin to settle, [[Brewer Corporation]]’s Trailblazer fleet of megaships which currently supply many colonies will be repurposed for other duties. | |||
Brewer Corporation also revealed that it has prepared a variety of custom layouts and decorative suites, allowing architects to visually tailor their new constructions. This latest innovation from the industrial giant is available for deployment from today. | |||
