[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QB] We don't know exactly how many out of these 1,000 people are civilians so the actual crew of a Galaxy could be 500. We also don't know if those 40 ships had a total crew of 20,000 and fifty percent of them were able to escape. I'm just doing a basic interpretation of the figures given on TNG to get a number they probably had in mind when they wrote the show. That number may not be accurate, but at the moment we have nothing; this could at least give us a hint. :cool: Let's assume that a Galaxy class gets the same percentage of new ensigns a year (in relation to the total number of crewmembers) than any other starfleet vessel. It does not matter if they get 10 or 900 ensigns, the information we get is that consequently 10% of all starfleet crewmen who serve on a starship are stationed on a Galaxy-class vessel. Basically, if 6,000 people on a Galaxy are 10% of the fleet, and we take the 10,000=40 ships figure, Starfleet would consist of no more than 240 ships at the time the statement was made. Of course the fleet is growing and we don't know how fast. But if Starfleet was supposed to have 250 ships at that time, Shelby's statement that the fleet needs a year to return to its former strength after loosing 40 ships sounds reasonable. [/QB][/QUOTE]
