The Terrans have strong and large fighting forces as well as that their systems are at the center of the galaxy so if the pirates try to get away back to LOma or something either by jumpgate or by their ship's own power, they'll be easily trapped. The Vossks are constantly attacked by pirates, but they have more than enough ships and firepower to take down several pirate outposts with their standard ships being some of the most armored ships and their standard weapons (H'nookk Blasters) being the most powerful standard weapons. Also, both the Terrans and the Vossks have Battleships. The Midorians just don't have enough valuable loot so it's not worth it to build a base there. So the Nivilians with valuable loot and low security is the most obvious choice to buid bases at.
