Satellites are smaller than an escort, and should even be more compact than an escort, yet an escort has a 40% defense modifier, while a satellite has none. I suggest a 50% defense modifier to sats, based on their small size.
OTOH, satellites can't maneuver; all they'd have would be station keeping thrusters. The escort can use its engines to "dodge" and otherwise make itself a less predictable target.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
