There's already a protocol for this sort of thing - it shows up in
Thomas Anderson's jump-lane plotting system (at
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~univ0938/sc/freakazoid.html). Just construct the
Voronoi partition from the homeworlds, and use that to define the areas
of influence...

(It's simpler than I've made it sound. Basically, for each world, it's
either owned by the player who has a homeworld nearest to it or neutral.
