On the UWP, I always treated these as Imperial bases.  They may be
co-located with sector, subsector, or planetary navies, but there is an
Imperial presence, even if it's only a squadron of fighters or older
ship to show the flag.

In a political union as large as the 3d Imperium, I would think that
there is always something going on that requires Imperial intervention. 
It could be an anti-piracy sweep, surgical strike against dissidents
believed to have prohibited weapons, etc.  Look at the world today...we
just spent 20 years in Afghanistan without it being a *declared* war,
yet war it was.  Just like the NATO mission in Kosovo in the late 90s,
Desert Shield/Storm in 90-91, and on and on.  Multiply that by 1000+
worlds and I think that if you wanted to pull a trigger wearing Imperial
colors you'd have plenty of opportunity to drop the hammer.
