Tried to sell some things at a market, the trade ban description called out a 'Trade Ban between Clan Javat and Clan Javat'.
I'm often scratching my head on the cause of trade bans, figure future UI will improve my understanding, but in the above example, not sure why I'd lose rep with Clan Javat (trading on a Javat planet.. maybe it's goods of Rychart origin? Or that I'm playing a Cadar?), but not something I concerned myself with at this point (just a mental note that it isn't clear... yet). Also, would have expected some text after executing a trade that Rep was impacted by -XX in the description, don't recall seeing that either (again, just a mental note that the improved UI will probably take care of it.). The reason I bring this up is that later I did a run of selling goods (total of 80-100 units of stuff in less than a dozen transactions) during a Steel Song trade ban, and my Rep went from approx -25 to -1001. I was unaware that the Rep was taking such a beating with each transaction (or whether the $ amount factored in)
Other times, I've had screens say that there is a trade ban going on, but my Rep will go up with the home planet faction if I trade with them (Maybe this was a trade war and I mis-read?). So... just lots of mental notes that the current UI/descriptions aren't very clear right now.
Just to be complete, the below image is just to confirm that the Trade Ban exists in the Faction Politics screen.

Thank you all for clarifying
