What can be a good strategic point in outer space

On earth where we puny humans fight each other on land air and sea we have of a concept of strategic points which are

• oil fields
• trade choke points
• islands in the sea
• mountains on land
• places where countries bully each other

All of these features are present on earth and we know are good strategic points but given the vastness of space what can be a good strategic stronghold for an interstellar species.

For the civilisation (A) their technological prowess is much like:

• FTL travel is not allowed FTL communication is

• they spawn a massive civilisation across the galactic arms and control like 2/3 of the galaxy .

The civilisation A is blissfully unaware of another smaller but advanced civilisation B. A war breaks out when a scout of A is destroyed by B in what B perceives as a threat to their sovereignty. Now what places in such a war would be a good strategic point offering decent tactical advantage
