This is still work in progress, and help is always appreciated. Dialogue so far is already giving personality and flavour to each faction's attitudes to the boons and setbacks they experience. However, I will wait until the tables are full for proper dissection.

Boom, Bust and Civil Unrest
| Faction | Boom | Bust | Civil Unrest |
| Anarchy | Things are going well for us - in fact we're experiencing a boom. It's a good time for us. | Things aren't going very well for us at the moment, economically speaking. | There's some civil unrest in the system at the moment. |
| Communism | We're currently enjoying an economic boom. Communism is the future - the evidence is clear. | As you probably know, the system economy is in a poor state. | It's true there's some civil unrest in the system. |
| Confederacy | The economy's strong right now. Halcyon days, they're calling them. | The economy's in poor shape, I'm told. Credits are thin on the ground and we're watching our spending. | There's been some civil unrest in the system recently, but it's nothing we can't handle. |
| Cooperative | The system's economy is strong, and when economy is strong we all share the benefit. | The system economy is weak at the moment. | Some people refuse to share what they have, so we're suffering from civil unrest. |

| Feudal | Our economy has never been in better health. You could say our cup runneth over! | Our economy is in poor health, and the treasurer has been encouraged to take early retirement. | You've probably heard about the civil unrest we're experiencing. |
| Patronage | The economic climate is extremely favourable at present, but that should come as no surprise. | The financial situation isn't good. We're having a challenging time. I hope you can help us. | There's been quite a bit of civil unrest recently, and we've had to put down several protests. |
| Prison Colony | We received a lot of investment recently, and so our economy is in great shape. | UNDISCOVERED | There's some civil unrest in the system - a few undesirables voicing their opinions - not for long! |
| Theocracy | The economy has never been stronger. | UNDISCOVERED | Some have rebelled against the dictates of the sanctum, and so we're experiencing widespread unrest. |
