Talk:High Guard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Any idea on the High Guard numbers? If you remember in Episode 1x01, Under the Night, Captain Hunt states that the High Guard outnumbered the Nietzeschians by 10 to 1 in ships and one hundred to 1 in men. Therefore assuming that the Nietzeschians had 30,000 ships (10,000 in Hephaistos and 20,000 poised in other locations plus captured High Guard ships) meaning about 36,000 ships. So, the High Guard has about 360,000 ships (not including fighters) and the Home Guard would have approximately 5-6 times more ships in order to be able to guard all the Commonwealth's assets (1.2 million member worlds and drift stations etc.).

Therefore we have :

360,000 High Guard ships 1.8 - 2.16 million Home Guard ships

[edit] Accuracy?

Where did these ship classes come from? What source are they from and what is its canonicity?

I've just rewatched 'Star Crossed' (Series 1 Ep 20) where Dylan explicitly refers to the Balance of Judgement as a Siege Perilous Class ship. If the definition of canon for Andromeda is the same as other Sci-Fi (namely B5 and Star Trek) then this would take precedence over this list, because the Balance of Judgement is certainly not an Atmospheric Attack Carrier which is the designation this list gives to a Siege Perilous.
