[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] A minimum of 1000, based on dialog from Deep Space Nine, split into numbered Fleets, the highest known being the Tenth Fleet. At one point, the Seventh Fleet numbered 112 ships ("A Time To Stand"[DS9-6]). But, mere elements of the Second and Fifth combined into a 600 ship fleet to retake DS9, suggesting that some fleets had many more than 112 ships. "Tacking Into The Wind"[DS9-7] claims that the Dominion War enemy forces (Dominion in the AQ, Cardassia, and the Breen) had 30,000 ships (the 1,500 Klingon warships that could be modified to resist the Breen weapon would be outnumbered 20 to 1). One would hope the Federation/Klingon/Romulan Alliance had at least half that many warships. The 30,000 figure correlates well with reaction to the Dominion loss of 2,800+ ships in "Sacrifice of Angels"[DS9-6], which might've constituted a loss of as much as half the Dominion fleet in the Alpha Quadrant at that point. Assuming rough parity between the DCB and FKR alliances, I would posit 8-10,000 Federation starships, with the Klingon Empire having a somewhat higher total pre-war and the Romulans having a somewhat smaller total. (The Klingons build a lot of smaller ships, the Romulans seem focused on huge ones.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
