How to get rid of an abandoned station?

[Dunaedine]

A sector get outside of anybody borders, so all the station in it are neutral, particularly a mining station on the sun. I need to construct a frontier outpost on this sun. But I can't due to this neutral station. Even with the specific order to attack, my fleet only sitting on it, doing nothing (very frustrating). There is a console command to force the attack?

Furthermore, the attack order has any utility?

you can select it and type "damage 10000" into the console to destroy it

Can you build a frontier outpost nearby? You cant scrap it because you dont own it, but you cant attack it because its not owned by an enemy that you're at war with (and i doubt the game considers it to be neutral like mining drones or pirates), though thats an educated guess at best.

I think thats really unfortunate, and maybe an oversight. Maybe if you're trying to build a frontier outpost on a nearby unclaimed system, it would let you overwrite the existing mining station there?

It is clearly a very narrow situation, but frustrating and silly. In this case, I don't have any other choice of system, all other are in border of other empire. I want the station only for political matters (get rid of distance malus for some political business).
