What is local_faction in system ini file used for?

Gold_Sear

Memory refreshment needed: local_faction in system inis is not used, right?
However the change log of JFLP 1.00 suggests local_faction entries are concerned, suggesting it has some use.

Can anyone tell me what it is?

EDIT: oops, not JFLP, but Unofficial Patch 1.4 and SDK 1.3 :oops:

local_faction = station affiliation
Seems to be transfered from sys inis to mbases

It’s read from the system ini and stored, but doesn’t seem to be used.
