As every guard system now.
Whether or not there is still an active faction for it means jack crap as to whether or not it is a Guard System.
You see, Guard systems aren't considered part of the mod's lore.
Why? Beacuse when they were first introduced and handed out, there was no lore-based restrictions on what could go into a Guard system.
You rolled up the mod files for it, sent em in, and that was that; a far different system than was used for general system development or for non-guard system requests.
Therefore, every faction and their mother thought it would be excellent to put lore and roleplay breaking things into their Guard systems.
This is how we ended up with the Hellfire Legion planet, the Farmers alliance planets, the Golden Crsyanthemum planets (also, hey, which JUST HAPPENS to be the ONLY OTHER PLANET IN ALL OF SIRIUS that can grow cardamine!), the Colonials and their guard system..... honestly the list goes on and on.
Guard systems do not count as lore, regardless of whether or not the faction that got it put in the mod still exists.
There's an admin ruling on it somewhere, but i'm far too lazy to put in the hours work to track it down.
