I found that if you get your relationship with an Independence Port contact high enough you are offered such things as Level 30 Endurance Recovery SOs ... which before the patch you could only acquire after reaching level 30 yourself and doing a mission for a specific origin contact. One problem though is that the IP contacts also seem to deal in specific origins, so once a particular contact starts selling you stuff it may or may not be useful to you.

That sort of thing is rampant in the computer game industry, where game designers put in cheats for npcs (letting npcs do things players cant) because writing decent tactial AI is too hard or too much work. Very common place, unfortunately.
