House Police and Borderworlds

[Guyton]

There are treaties in place which allow military patrols, although they are to respect the neutrality of the Freeports and interests of other bases in these systems.
As I said, Omega-3 is considered sovereign territory of Bretonia, while Magellan is only a protectorate. We're not going to start patrolling Tau-31 under the nose of the Carcassone though.
I believe the Gallic policy on IMG's opinion is "Leave your complaints with the captains of our massive fleet above your bases that could wipe you out if they felt like it".
Which is all fine and dandy when it's border threats, but since this is a game, people tend to decide that bringing their caps to the core worlds. The military has to be there to meet this threat.
You are likely the first to not vote Yes/Yes or No/No, way to unbalance the votes:P
The claim to Tau-31 is one of the first things they say in their laws.
They might only have the one stationary battleship there, but it represents the Carcassone Battlegroup, which is a considerable group of ships. If Bretonia were to try and reclaim it, they'd be unlikely to win. Even if they did, they'd lost most of their fleet and Gallia would have even less in its way to conquer Bretonia.
There's no dispute that they are allowed to, but whether it fits the RP. The lanes are owned by the Navy, so military patrols are to be expected (even without the war). Not that there is much trade for the LPI to monitor there anyway.

Well I'm definitely the slow one to miss that piece of material you've just listed there. Agreed, they do have claim in that area. Its still rather odd that is about 3 systems marked as BorderWorlds under the House Law including a system still occupied by a hostile faction.
