Why does getent default to .station if no TLD is specified?

With my current setup, I have a dnsmasq instance operating on my home server (Void Linux) and 3 GNU/Linux devices that use it as default dns (1 Manjaro, 1 Arch, 1 Linux Mint 20.1). Due to seemingly unrelated issues, I was testing the mdns name resolution with getent, and I noticed, both by looking at dnsmasq logs and running strace getent, that getent would automatically append the .station Top Level Domain if the domain wasn't already specified. getent hosts home-server results in

dnsmasq: query[AAAA] home-server.station from 192.168.0.6
dnsmasq: forwarded home-server.station to 9.9.9.9
dnsmasq: query[AAAA] home-server.station from 192.168.0.6

dnsmasq: reply home-server.station is NXDOMAIN
dnsmasq: query[AAAA] home-server from 192.168.0.6

On the dnsmasq log and

socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC|SOCK_NONBLOCK, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
setsockopt(4, SOL_IP, IP_RECVERR, , 4) = 0
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.100")}, 16) = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLOUT}], 1, 0)    = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLOUT}])
sendto(4, "\2\17\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\vhome-server\7station"..., 37, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 3

Calling getent with strace. I wasn't able to find any information regarding the .station TLD. Does anyone know why does getent have this default behavior, and where does the .station come from? My /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts line on Manjaro

hosts: files mymachines mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve dns mdns4 myhostname

On Mint

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname
