I wouldn't be too worried--if they were coming after a major star system
(New Rome, Thrace), the NRE (and most other powers, I presume) has large
sublight garissons (primarily Cerebus-class SDBs, but with other ships
converted.  My rule of thumb is to rip out the FTL and add the
equivelant in armor, making them tough little escorts indeed).	In fact,
I'd say it would be almost impossible to capture a core system of any
major power without a really massive fleet action.  Large enough so that
in the multi-polar GZG-verse, while A's entire fleet is off beating the
hell out of B, C is going to take the chance to snag a half-dozen
colonies from A.  All the while watching out for D, who might jump into
the fray on either side.
