Is the Encoded Data Receiver an Iconian Rep "Carrot & Stick"?

I mentioned earlier that I might not grind Iconian rep further past getting the 3-piece console/weapon/torpedo set (since I like to cram as many set buffs into one ship as possible), but something about that PADD makes me wonder if there's something to that device once you reach Tier 5, like when you reached T5 in Voth rep and you were given a quick mini-mission to retrieve Nelen Exil's escape pod and claim him as a BOFF. Anyone know if this may be the case, or is it just so much window-dressing that may add some story but nothing else?
