Also, planets or moons can blockade. For example, if you have a treaty with someone and have colonized a moon over their planet, if the treaty is broken, both the moon and the planet are blockaded. When a ship enters the sector, the planetary defenses can fire on each other. 
I've found that planetary defenses fire on each other without the prompting of a ship entering the sector: I had a moon colony and someone I was at war with tried to colonize the gas giant planet. Combat started when the colonizer entered the sector. Well nothing happened since the colonizer just stayed in the corner. After combat, the colonizer colonized the planet and then another combat occured. This time his gas giant could not run! My moon launched all of its missiles and wiped out his fledgling colony. Hahahahahahha
