Guard?s

[Telbasta]

most factions have a 'guard system' belonging to them which has bases that sell some of the best equipment available (top end faction guns, highest armor upgrades, occasionally capital class ships, etc). These systems are patrolled by 'guard' NPC's which are more powerful than standard NPC's.

It's harder to increase a faction guard rep than it is to increase a normal faction rep. That means that while a player may have nuetral rep with, say, the liberty navy... the liberty navy guard will still be hostile to them - so they wont be able to enter the guard system without being attacked.
