Came up with these lines for consideration:
= Can defend bases and ships with same affiliation anywhere.
= Can defend allied bases and ships anywhere.
= Can defend allied bases and ships within their Zone of Influence.
= Can defend friendly bases and ships within their Zone of Influence.
= Can defend lawful bases and ships from HOUSE, anywhere.
= Can defend allied and friendly lawful bases and ships anywhere.
= Can defend non-hostile bases and ships within their Zone of Influence.
The issue here is how friendly/neutral factions are not properly defined anywhere, so it would be best to leave with "Allied" only, as those can be accessed and looked at through F8 (https://i.imgur.com/XBUFF5C.png)
