Thinking on it for a bit, there wasn't really any way to know whose base it was since we couldn't dock on it. While the Legion has different standards, it's more or less the same approach the Navy would take had they found a PoB that refused them access as well, regardless of the actual IFF.
Also, I was told that the IFF wasn't changed when it realistically should have been, in this case due to the GMs. With a DSE IFF, which is set to neutral no-dock to the Legion ID, the station really wasn't show its true colors either, and should have been red if it had been showing off the LPI IFF it was supposed to have. This is all assuming it wasn't on defmode 4 or something, and I'm not pointing blame. Still, I don't think it would've been entirely outside of the realm of possibility.

As far as I can tell, the sale was made ooRPly, which I can't in good grace treat as a valid reason for [HF] to know about the base's ownership inRPly. If there's a thread I'm missing, feel free to point it out, but otherwise I just feel like it really should be treated as an unknown owner case, which is well within reason to treat the base as potentially hostile.
