Does Jaguar Company add in bases to every single anarchy/feudal/multi-gov? Or just some of them?
Some of them. Based on what I can see in the code, there's a 37.5% chance in an anarchy, a 25% chance in a feudal, and a 12.5% chance in a multi-gov. But I think the randomness of the choice has been set so that it will be the same systems in each galaxy, although I haven't confirmed that.
