Officals and indies are no different. One just gas,certain rights, a fancy tag, and sometimes big egos.
Three or so people of each offical faction are the "leaders not just the player Faction, but the NPC faction.
Also, I dont see Mollys on the ally list of thwe Outcasts, so...yeah. (correct me if I'm wrong).
Offical factions (those who hold a higher rank than you. A [LN] Ensign,for example, imho,shouldnt have the right to order around an indie captain) have the right to order around THOSE AND ONLY THOSE in thier faction.
Now, this offical Outcast didnt order like a superior officer, he ordered like,"Fill the bag with money or else."
The Mollys might not care if you pirate BMM, but if the sniffers and baffies have an alliance/NAP/etc, they can hassle you with bounties and such.
