Power changes in GW After spawning

Brek

so, was playing GW this morning and on node six i noticed that palps power increases a split second after spawning, no one elses does, it is evidenced by the green health and protection bars increasing, why does this happen?

If he is the leader he gets increased health, as do empire and sith toons on his team.
