/restart reputations?

[Valarin]

So! I've been playing here on Disco off and on for awhile now and pretty much just lived with it, but my curiosity is still a little spiked.
When I started one character of mine, I used the "/restart Bretonia" command to keep in line with his characters' history. Having flown around for awhile and encountered many of the factions I began to notice that a few entries on my rep sheet are a little odd.

Full compliation of the characters' repsheet can be seen here.

While this character started as a bretonian civilian, he holds no connection to the house now - he is an independant trader. No missions have been done, and his killcount is a whopping 36 npc pirates during nearly 19hours of playtime.

So - I figure much of the reputation I currently have was gained from the restart command. My question is whether this is intentional - referring to the hostile Rheinland Military Guard, Zoners Guard, BAF Guard, LSF etc (while their non-guard factions are not hostile). As a civilian start seeing the KNF and KSP neutral isn't surprising, but both Outcasts and Corsairs (plus other pirate groups) are neutral while their respective guard factions are also largely hostile.

Regardless of whether it's correct or not - is there any way to fix these? Pulling in after a long trade run only to see everything in sight shooting at you because of a lone Guard ID'd vessel being hostile isn't so much fun. Obviously, if there's an RP reason for all this please do correct me and/or explain.

Thanks in advance!

(Unrelated note - is there a brief overview anywhere of what exactly Guard factions are? Still relatively new in terms of knowledge here, and I've yet to find anything outlining their purpose on the forums/wiki... D: )
