The rulebook says defensive allies place their ships next to the target planet, while offensive allies sit on the hyperspace gate. One designer holds that defensive allies belong in the gate with the offense, because cards that refer to ships in the gate depend on it, but the printed rulebook is the played-by-the-book answer.
