Independent systems dont enjoy the same rank perks as the Federation or Empire. That is to say there is no faction-specific ship. However, independent systems have their own charms, such as being able to cash bounties from any major player with a faction in that system. If you have, say, a large bounty for the Federation, and there is a Federation minor faction in the system, you can cash it there. As there is no global allegiance, they're also good places if you have managed to get yourself a bounty or otherwise go unfriendly/hostile with a major faction.

Thanks very much! I understand it. It was also a bit mentioned in the recent Q and A with David Braben.
Asked by Matlok
Q – “The Empire have a couple of great ships that adds to the empirical identity. The mighty federation also have ships to call their own. I really love the Alliance, yet I feel they have been very neglected by the defs. Currently, there is no real reason to rank up in their systems, for there is no real reward. With Powerplay, will there be some content for the Alliance faction?
A - “The Alliance is a relative newcomer on the galactic stage, but we know the Alliance is a favourite with many players. The Federation and Empire have both had hundreds of years to evolve their traditions and identity. For the Alliance this is little different from the Independent ships already available in game. That’s not to say that an Alliance ship building project might happen in the future, along with recruitment for the Alliance Navy. The trouble is Prime Minister Mahon finds it hard to get his members to agree

Be careful not to conflate "independent" with "Alliance."
While Alliance worlds are all independent, not all independent worlds are Alliance.
If you get a bounty or go hostile with an Alliance member, it will have negative consequences for you across Alliance space.
