If someone doesn't mind a sacrifice, I could be a relatively tiny nation, and someone could send a ship there, for whatever reason. This would jumpstart the virus again, and it could begin to spread like wildfire. In a very short time, I become a very serious threat.

That depends on where ye start, cause no one in good mental health would send any ships near the before mentioned threats of the galaxy.

Wait, you mean you don't have ships.
