Colonization pulled in a random faction instead of my squadron's: bug, or feature?

I couldn't find any information on this, so I thought I'd ask here. I just colonized a new system, my second one, and the game put in a seemingly random minor faction instead of what my squadron is aligned to. Is this a bug, or was the problem perhaps that the system would have ended up with three Imperial minor factions? (One from the ColCo, one from a nearby system, and the imported squadron would've been Imperial too.)

I don't mind this all that much though, because the faction is not important to me, I have a squadron of one (just to view the leaderboards). The unfortunate part is that this pulled in a seemingly-random PMF, and I've no idea if they would mind this or not. So, it would be good to know if this happens to others too, or not.

When you claim a new system, the faction that has control over the station you used the colonization contact from is the faction that spreads. At least, that's what I remember reading, and that's what happened in the 2 systems I've claimed.

The 1st one took the faction from the station I started from.

The 2nd, I issued the claim from a 2nd outpost I'd built in my new system, which had a minor faction in charge. That minor faction is the faction in control of my newest system now.

Yes, I know. However, if you're in a squadron that's aligned with a minor faction, said minor faction should be pulled in as the third in the new system when I built the primary port. That's what happened with my first system, that's what I heard from everyone else, but that's not what happened with my second system. Which is why I'm asking if that's a bug or intended behaviour.

Gotcha. I thought you'd meant a random minor faction was pulled in as the major faction. 07 CMDR.
