Currently, there is a special Federation type for Galactic Union (Default) and, with Federations, Trade League (Built off Commercial Pacts), Martial Alliance (Built off Defensive Pact), Research Cooperative (Built off Research Agreement), and Hegemony (Built off Subjugation).
Right now, if the War in Heaven breaks out and the chosen Founder of the League of Non-Aligned Powers isn't in a federation, then the event-generated federation is automatically called the League. If they're already in one, no renaming takes place but the game sort of 'tags' their existing federation as the League. Similarly, if there is a Crisis, the next federation to form will be automatically called the Galactic Defense League.
I propose that these two, the Non-Aligned Powers and the Galactic Defense League, should have their own special Federation types, complete with special perks. Any existing federation 'tagged' as the special federation would automatically switch type to it (Maybe keeping the same level?) and nobody could switch in or out of it while it exists. Once the threat is gone, they swap back automatically.
(Obviously this is all with the caveat that this takes place in a universe where the AE and Crises are actually credible threats)
Let me know what you think. Just kinda threw this together after having it stewing for a bit.
