Can we take over non-neutral sectors?

[Scoob]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's at all possible to take over non-neutral sectors? For example, perhaps somewhere like Hatikvah's Faith, which is initially owned by the Pirates?

By "Take over" I mean properly take over, suppressing any ship spawns. I suspect not, as I've already destroyed all Pirate stations in this sector - including the shipyard - but as soon as I leave, more Pirate ships still pop in to existence.

I'm open to using mods, if they do a good job of this. I just, initially at least, wanted to suppress the Pirates in this sector that were causing havoc.
