It all depends on the scale and basic assumptions of your campaign. 

If the frontier planets have some repair facilities or shipyards for
small craft, they might convert / upgrade vessels and build corvettes
or other small craft. Add convenient assumptions about their
capabilities (e.g.can only produce beam weaponry, can produce armour
but not shields etc).

As to the central government: if they are not really able to supply
ships to the frontier, they may actually encourage the colonies to do
something for self-defence, e.g. Australia and Britain in WWII.

Or the government may be so far away/unconcerned that the locals can
pretty much do what they want, as long as it's not a threat to the
central government.
