I would have to agree with Ashrak on that one. When Sheridan and Anderson jump into Earth space they are contacted by that guy in the front of all the ships. He asks them whats happening and they tell him to mobilize the fleet. Thus implying that the fleet is in earth space.

I doubt Earth possibly could of mobilized it's whole army of fleets to Earth within such short notice. And because they thought it was an exercise it wasn't necessary to mobilize all - just few. At maximum - Earth lost 10% of it's total fleet.

There is no way that whole EA fleet could be mobilized in short time.

All EA distant colonies fleets and everything. Its not easy to mobilize all ships and troops, it takes time.

And I doubt that EA would leave colonies (well mayby Mars, but not rest ) and outpost undefenced, all pirates and hostile corps would profit from it...

If 10% EA fleet survived, Earth would fall fast.

Its more likely that EA would have lost 10-25% of its fleet at max...

Any idea how the GOD sat's missiles will be for manuverabillity?
In Endgame they didn't look to manuverable, just enough to track a cap ship through it's evasion drill. It would be pretty easy to dodge that in a fighter.

Oh, yea, and the entire EA fleet couldn't have engaged the Drakh. It takes a ship 2 days in hyperspace to get from B5 to Earth. I would assume the the EA had ships in farther off territories than Euphrates (yes I know that's neutral space) and some on goodwill mission to various ISA worlds. Throw in deep patrol, and ship laid up for refit, and you've got at least fifty percent of the fleet that couldn't make the show. So they're out there, heavily armed and very pissed off. Boom.

I'd say 40~50% of the fleet was lost. "With over 240 destroyers lost in the battle...", ISN reporter "Warzone"(crusade). That is just the number of destroyers. I don't know about you guys but that seems like a very large number of destroyers. What about cruisers and corvettes?

But Ea has a huge fleet of ships, EA have been on building program ever since the EA/Minbari war so 240 destroyers would be a drop in the ocean......

Nemesis missiles maneuverability is like is should be.
They are anti-cap ship missiles, not fighterkillers.
This is my opinion.
