Pirate lives in captured base

Not sure if this is a "bug or a feature", but it seems strange: I captured and repaired a pirate base, but the pirate chief still shows up as living there! I sent two spies to assassinate him, but as soon as I leave the assignment screen, they disregard their mission and show up as "no mission".
The base operates normally, but still shows in the diplomacy screen as the pirate headquarters.
I cannot figure out if this guy is a ghost, or hiding in a closet somewhere, or a glitch in the system. At any rate, he's one tough SOB!

I have the same thing going on....captured the base years ago and the boss pirate is still in hiding.....don't really want to blow up the base as I like where it is...been sending Spies out after him, but so far no joy
I've had a shaded Frigate that is probably him trying to raid some fuel but my bases have too much moxie for him

Same issue here for the last several updates including the new 1.0.4.1 beta. I capture the base and the pirate leader stays in residence and his faction continues to exist and raid me with the occasional offer of protection.

Sounds like a bug. Report it in the tech sub forum....GP

Hilarious development: :
I finally got a spy to try to assassinate the spy chief, but alas, the spy chief captured my spy! They are presumably living somewhere in my spaceport. I think this "captured" thing is just a cover for some sort of super-kinky relationship they are having.
I know this is a bug, but it certainly is an interesting one, and I'm too far into this particular game (my first extended one) to start over because of this...
