Secondary faction IDs

[Zapp]

To quote Igiss when going over the faction creation rules:

All ship and weapon choices are subject to the restrictions belonging to the faction's primary ID, NOT the specialized IDs. The specialized ID does NOT provide access to ships or weapons that are forbidden to the primary ID.

Now, we know factions can use generic IDs under special considerations. Normally this wouldn't be a pertinent question, since the official faction could just grant their weapons to their special group through tech permissions. But what of the case of an unofficial faction that has a subgroup?

The example is a Molly faction with ships that fly under their tag with a Merc ID. Would the Merc ID'd ships, under that faction's tag, follow the Molly row on the tech chart instead of the Mercenary row? Or would they have to wait until the faction is official to grant the guns or get the right to use them?
