You won't have EMP in deep space. Earth orbit is still "space".
High-altitude nuclear explosions (which produce the most intense EMP) work better above the Kalman line: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:High_altitude_EMP.gif http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:High_altitude_EMP.gif
There are also special EMP weapons that don't require nuclear explosions.
