Since you seem to be in low level game i doubt that SS there is some real force. SS is expensive as race and so it is usually weak economically. Novice players have hard time to make it to tick. Also it is quite good a warrior but novice player can rarely estimate it correct and use these advantage in fullest. So that leaves only creepyness. Wink

JOAT does see no much beside planets early. Do not worry others see even less. Most JOAT's have bad habit to economy on scouts (have them few) and to be all times seen when scouting. It is quite possible to negate or cripple such JOAT's early scout efforts with SS in good hands. Turn planet-hopping near SS. Raise the number of scouts in field if you fear some hostility from there. SS needs one level of electronics to get penscanners, but these are not so great.

If you got it scouted then the main strategy against SS that people use is to pass it 2 times with economy and then just crush with brute force. It wont get robber barons too early so there is enough time. Joat is direct after CA in ability to afford such strategy. Just avoid being paranoid. Until there are no hostilities do not worry too lot.

As defensive measure for JOAT if there are hostilities you may place chaffs or frigate minelayers 25 ly from each other. Two rows around your border plus one at each planet and it is still possible but not too easy to pass unnotified. Minefields slow it also down and you may hope to catch the intruder.

SS makes also great friend. Even as weak in rank it can make some nice gadgets (RB and overcloakers) and use some improved abilities (spying, sweeping and skirmishing). Until it can use these abilities it is useful ally at any level.
