Space as a wild west metaphor makes more sense than space as an ocean. A colonized galaxy will be full of backwater planets with less developed technology, full of outlaws/lawmen who are only slightly different from each other.

Space navies don't make much sense when you consider that any ship capable of traveling between stars is also a weapon of mass destruction that doesn't have to listen to any planet based authority. Space pirates? yes. Privateers? probably. Organized navies? Unlikely.

Civilized planets will be defending by solar powered death lasers capable of destroying any invading force. Uncivilized planets will be at the mercy of space pirates unless they hire privateers. On the surface it will be marshals vs outlaws on any planet that isn't all droned up.
