That's a fair point, I see where you're coming from but its still a tricky situation patrolling a sector of space that isn't in your direct charge. I intend for the LN to be involved with the security of those systems, but only to a certain point. Beyond that I think we would be deviating from where Liberty would be naturally drawn in times like this.
We're at the brink of wart with Rheinland, subsequently its my feeling we should be putting more focus on guarding our borders and maintaining a stronger more unified, and sometimes isolationist Liberty. Regardless we will be on hand to assist if the need is there, just not as heavily as in other systems.
