Can I give my ship two escort/defense ships that only can un-dock from my main ship when it's going slowly (mostly when it's orbiting a planet or moving at a standard interplanetary speed)? These obviously wouldn't have interstellar capabilities but could manage some interplanetary travel (though at most could hold maybe 30 people at once).

That sounds fine. Ships these size need landing craft anyway, so what's something a little bigger?
