Upaniklis IS
medium security by default the system does not HAVE an IF station function....
You have to LEAVE the medium security system and head to LOW and lower security... to find an IF station..
As the CG forum topic stated you have to leave system and visit an IF..
Nearest Interstellar Factors (with "reasonable" super cruise distances, others are available):
Clair Plant & Turzillo Horizons in Col 285 Sector JY-H c10-34 (Planetary Bases, requires Horizons, S/M/L pads, 14.14Ly, 995 & 1077 Ls)
Wallin Vision in Kwele (Coriolis Starport, S/M/L pads, 17.25 Ly, 15 Ls) (Using this one worked fine..)
System also has outposts and planetary bases if required
The outpost Desargues Survey in Chentiiq is closer but owned by Upaniklis Vision Incorporated so probably not useful during this CG..
IFs are only on the single station in systems not all of them in system...
