-The best thing you can do as a newer player (or even a veteran who is not PvP oriented) is to leave behind the idea that some portions of space should be (100%) safe. The various security definitions of Empire Space are not meant to refer to safety, but rather the risk and challenge a potential aggressor may face. Declaring war is a valid mechanic to mitigate those risks and challenges.

+The best thing you can do as a newer player (or even a veteran who is not PvP oriented) is to leave behind the idea that some areas of space should be 100% safe. The security status of a system does not refer to your safety within the system, but rather the consequences a potential aggressor may face. If the potential reward to your aggressor (whether isk value or simply the satisfaction of taking you down) outweighs the consequences they face then chances are they will take that risk. Declaring war is a valid game mechanic which affects the consequences to a potential aggressor.
