Citadels can have a great impact on a system. But not everyone in the system belongs to the alliance that built it and is responsible for defending it.

Would it not make sense to allow local population, regardless of their alliances and beliefs who live in systems seeded with citadels and have possessions in them, an option to help in defense of their own stuff by helping to protect citadels through defensive militia option that pilots could subscribed to on voluntary basis?

Give attackers of citadels special agro category so they become free targets to anyone that comes to defend the citadel.

This way citadels could also easily draft people for protection hours, mercs getting paid for keeping guard when citadels become vulnerable, any passer-by able to earn a cash [isk/hour rate] if draft is open.

This way, also, many miners, traders and haulers would get involved in fights from time to time.

Let the locals have a say in deciding the faith of their systems.

I assume it would also work the other way, and anyone who wanted to attack the citadel could do so with no CONCORD involvement?

as others have said, join the war.

like ... whenever they want!

Bad idea.

Citadels essentially have zero affect on a system in high sec so this is simply not needed. And anyone crazy enough to store their stuff in a citadel they do not own when there are NPC stations deserves to lose their stuff.

In low, nul and worm holes since you can shoot whoever you want whenever you want this is simply not needed. Somone is attacking the citadel your stuff is in go shoot them and be done with it.
