Due to the combination of high security, interstellar traffic, and low strategic value, it makes any direct threat of violence unlikely. Your primary enemies will be incompetence and bored crewmen: try to organize team-building events to keep staffers interested and productive. However, even deep in our territory there may be subversive elements, especially for such a high-value target as your station. Keep an eye out, but don't expect much trouble."
