It's also likely to be very different between otherwise similar
systems that have very different populations, TLs, and government
types.

A pop-4 TL-6 system might have a single third-hand ex-mercenary boat
that mostly stays on the patch of dirt they call the planet's primary
starport.  A pop-A TL-F system might have thousands of boats and
larger craft up to battleship size and firepower, in rotating
schedules that provide continuous coverage of the mainworld, other
planets, habitats, strategic points, and on patrols.

If the system is balkanized or has other internal problems then they
might be protecting from each other as much or more than any external
threats.
