Which is pretty much everywhere.

Depends on what area you're thinking an interdictor can
cover, but you realize that Saturn at its closest to Jupiter
is still as far away as Jupiter is from the Sun?  Assigning
ships to cover the whole volume of space (rather than Jump
Points) is rather like assigning a few guys in Humvees to
cover the continent.
