Systems also have different law and threat levels. Law indicates how heavy the presence of Dodge Sector Police is, while threat corresponds to how dangerous ships in that system are relative to the capabilities of Juno Markev's ship. As Juno obtains better ships and equipment, threat levels will decrease, but only to an extent: a system like Texas that is initially rated "Normal" can eventually fall to "Low", but a system like Littlehope that is initially rated "Extreme" can only fall to "Normal" at best.
