Rogue_91, I understand your point and it may have been incorrect of me to use the term 'military' instead of 'law enforcement agencies', but even though that lore-wise the Police is supposed to be handling issues, that is not really applicable in actuality exactly because of the factors you mentioned.
Despite that, if it would be the police watching over miners, my points still apply I believe, except that even the technology of the police is lower grade than that of the pirates. EDIT: As mentioned by Nekrataal.
I'm still waiting for a response on my question by the way.
