No it is not. There is no rule outlining this because there is not and cannot be any rule entailing who the defenders are. You don’t register factions to “defend” a base, you just show up and shoot the factions attacking the base.
During the 300 spartan defense of falster station in omega-3 aland drama - core (who was no on the siege list) showed up to shoot RHA and IMG (self proclaimed defenders) alongside BAF (attackers). Even a certain AI player came to its defense.
