One aspect of the problems facing the poor Aslan _ihatei_ that
I forgot in my recent analysis is that they have to spend money
on transport ships. A typical _ihatei_ squadron consists of 2
scouts, 2 10,000T cruisers, and 2 50,000T transports. The cost
of the scouts is negligible compared to the other ships, but a
transport costs somewhat more than a cruiser, which means that
whatever ressources you compute that the _ihatei_ have you have
to subtract roughly 55% to get the amount spent on fighting
strength.

"A subsector official pompously states that the
subsector armed forces have four Kinunir class
ships in service, each with enough troop strength
to put down any military operations that threathen
the peace of the Imperium."
