[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The list of possible explanations is endless, of course. Coincidence is possible. The ships could have been passing through on their way to pacify the big rebellion on Risa, protecting a big meeting on Earth, gathering for a parade, or reinforcing defenses around all major planets because of the galactic-crisis-of-the-week, only to be dispersed the next week. Or then they were waiting around Mars for new assignments as the leadership hemmed and hawed in indecision. Alternately, such heavy starship presence was really the norm at the time. But the assembled fleet wasn't that much bigger than the Wolf 359 one - and for all we know, most of the Wolf 359 ships were already pre-gathered, too, waiting near Earth. The dialogue certainly allows for that, and no TNG or DS9 episode really requires Earth to be devoid of a defensive fleet. "Endgame", "BoBW", "Paradise Lost", "Conspiracy"... All these peacetime glimpses to the defenses of the Sol system could have allowed for the permanent presence of a fleet of 30-40 ships as a standard measure. In the first, we saw it working like expected. In the second, it was called to perform in a neighboring system, and failed. In the third and fourth, it was idled as there seemingly was no threat that would have required starship intervention. Or intervention by more than one starship, anyway, in the "Paradise Lost" case.
