So... which laws were actively being enforced outside house space, other than bringing the fight to long time enemies of the state, and making efforts of keeping them on the "outside" of the borders?
And then, how does fixing that involve demoting the Naval Factions to "Military Police" factions (because without war related affairs, they are now Police factions who trade tlags for a Battleship)? What good are borders or "walls", if the defenders can only attack those who are already inside?
Or should we see this the other way, and consider it as pressure for the houses "to annex" those border systems completely, aggravating this issue?
