No Incognito clarifications to the first post, try not to get too much bogged down in sweeping statements, there's a good boy.

1 Shared battleship (You do NOT get a battleship licence)
2 Official faction Message Dump which doesn't get lost in the regular roleplay hub
3 Official faction recruitment, which you do not get at all if you're unofficial.
3 The opportunity to purchase and modify a system to your exact specifications. (this is what is specifically being discussed, what an owning faction may do with regards to that system)
4 The opportunity to further push Discovery's story line. ( This one is not guaranteed)
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
