Is the range of colonization being increased?

I was unaware that this was a thing. My squadron is already aligned with the minor faction I'm working on so that's ticked off.

I'll do a little digging into this and try it with the next outpost.

As I understand it 4 factions get dragged into a colony system.

1. The one you buy the license from*
2. A random from the system you bought the license or an adjacent system
3. The one your squadron is aligned with**
4. An anarchy from the system you bought the license or an adjacent system

*If that was the one your squadron was aligned with then good for you, you are at the top.
**The same as 2 if you aren’t in an aligned squadron or you meet *

Allegedly there is no range limit for the squadron faction.

None of the factions are native to the colony.
