I don't know, I think it stands to reason that the only place a ship
can jump in is the Lagrange points between the local star and a 
large (Saturn, Jupiter, or binary star companion) body. :)

There you go, should be what, about 5 per large planet, which could go
away as other planets were too close.  It would be next to impossible
to put orbital forts at all of these, however, you could patrol them.
