Well, the only reason that it is so low is that our major ships are out and about dealing with crisis areas. Right now, all we have are 20 Sovereign Class Cutters, 3 Battleships, and a 3 Assault class Starships. There also 300,000 Titus class Starfighters. You will have all of these 1,200,000 total soldiers at your command.
