Operator ruling B, 2026-09-30: "a station with no access to Zhestokost gear
should not have Zhestokost gear." Test: in a main-sector galaxy (not the
prelude, which offers every product), every faction's generated stations carry
a heater and a reactor, and nothing, equipped or stocked, whose manufacturer is
outside the galaxy or the faction's allegiance.
With today's catalog every faction's allegiance names every faction (weights
only bias preference) except Rossum & Douglas, which leaves out itself; the
test killed a reach that ignores allegiance through an R&D station carrying
R&D reactors.
