If a faction retreats from a system, what happens to any bases it holds?
Retreated factions
- Thread starter Hong Fenghuang
- Start date
They go to the controller afaik.
Unless it's the controller being retreated, in which case they go to the faction with the highest influence.
(If the two highest factions are tied in a conflict at that point, no idea how it picks between them)

Songloi, had a PMF retreated 16 Mar (Elite Space Wings) and they are still showing ownership of 4 stations: https://inara.cz/elite/starsystem-stations/16570/
GALMAP shows the same, EDO bug perhaps?
Not a problem - system along with 2 others flipped and offending faction being retreated to maintain PowerPlay fortification bonus on profitable Control System. Just trying to understand BGS better.
Inara can sometimes be out of date as I think it requires someone to land at those settlements with the right plug in to update the website. However, if the settlement shows up as being controlled by ESW in-game a month after being retreated, I'm going to suggest that you might want to contact FDev as that looks like a bug.
I wonder if there's some kind of farming exploit you could set up with this. In theory you could walk in, gun everyone down and you'd have no bounty within the system, so these could replace anarchy settlements for that purpose, if you didn't have any nearby
There's an ongoing bug related to this in the T Tauri system.
Back when Admiral Tanner started a war to try and force his way into Taurus Mining Ventures facilities, his AEGIS faction won control of a settlement despite not having a permanent position in the system. When AEGIS was disbanded the settlement was handed over to Frontline Solutions (just like all other AEGIS assets) and they still own it to this day, providing a safe haven port for people who like to come into the system and make themselves unfriendly with Azimuth Biotech.
Since they technically don't have a presence in the system, it's impossible to start a conflict to take the settlement out of their hands.
Next time I'm in-game I'll land and see if INARA updates; will also check the GALMAP, last time I remember it was still ESW, but then again, I'm old and memory can sometimes be Odyssey-like
Thanks @Ned Flandalorian, interesting o7That was it; thanks, landed with EDMC running and INARA system page up - landed, hit refresh page and INARA updated. Thanks for the info - all is right now - easy once you know how o7 Cmdrs
Inara only updates assets that switch ownership via conflict reward. Settlements gained via wars that aren't the asset reward or assets gained from retreating factions Inara can't track so they need to be docked at with EDMC on or if it was your doing updated manually on Inara.
