The value names one of the object categories, in either its short or long spelling and in any case. A value that matches neither spelling leaves the type with no category, discarding any category set earlier.
The category has one effect. An InfantryType with Category=Civilian is left off the list of types a player can buy on the dropship loadout screen. That screen opens at the start of a scenario whose [Basic] StartingDropships is above zero. The civilian is left off only when the scenario lists no AllowableUnits; a scenario that lists types can offer a listed civilian like any other listed type.
