There is a place for people joining in in powerplay without wanting to be connected to a power.
Talking to others, there are people who don't want to be aligned with a power but also don't want a power to be present in their homw systems and to remain independant.
This option would be useful for people to undermine Powers encroaching on "their" systems.
You could have a link to squadron-faction and even home system for a distance factor for underming efforts. You would have no ability to gain "merits" from reinforcement but could get levels still that could give similar bonuses for trade etc.
I believe this would gain traction as many commanders would enjoy this option.
