System defense forces
Primary systems
A typical major system has 1-2 Secondary fleets assigned from the empire. They are usually augmented by few Cruiser taskforces and several Frigate task forces.
The system defense forces tend to have 20-200 Victory-class local defense cruisers as core, those might be supported by a 100-1000 Deimos-class corvettes and 1000-10 000 Panther-class fighters.
Secondary systems
About a third have one of the Cruiser taskforces from navy assigned, the remaining have several Frigate task forces.
The system defense forces tend to have 1-10 Victory-class local defense cruisers as core, those might be supported by a 5-50 Deimos-class corvettes and 50-500 Panther-class fighters.
Tertiary systems
All of these have at least one of the navy Frigate task forces or the corresponding patrol Heavy task forces
These might have a single Victory-class local defense cruiser as core, but most likely not. There are likely 2-10 Deimos-class corvettes and 20-100 Panther-class fighters.
Colonies
Larger colonies are likely to have one of the patrol Light task forces though the majority do not have any forces currently.
The increasing number of the patrol light task forces has increased the proportion of the colonies that do have such lately.
Most do not have any local defense forces, though some might have 2-10 Panther-class fighters.
