A fictional anti-piracy fleet built around patrols and reserve

How should the fictional Imperial Navy organize a large anti-piracy force?

Disperse smaller cruisers and flotillas for routine patrols, keep large Star Destroyers in mutually supporting battle groups, and retain the heaviest force as a deterrent reserve.

The fictional Star Wars plan creates two Secutor-led groups, each with three Vindicators, twelve Tartans, and two Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The remaining Imperial ships would work in mutually supporting pairs, with cruisers distributed between them. Arquitens and Tartan units would perform most routine anti-piracy patrols, while the capital ships remained available against threats too large for those patrols. Keeping the heaviest force uncommitted preserves uncertainty about where it could intervene. A major opponent could concentrate against it, but would need to assemble considerable strength and accept losses before doing so.
