Re: Hah.

In Response To: Re: Hah. (58)


: Of course, I once calculated, based on information from the battle at Reach,
: that it would take something like a hundred thousand ships to have a
: chance of successfully assaulting the Earth, guarded by its three hundred
: MAC platforms, so I could easily be wrong.

Hahah, I remember finding the same thing. After hearing there are 300 SMACs at Earth I was like...wait, could the entire Covenant armada even destroy that many?

IIRC ILB was confirmed by Frankie or someone as canon. Maybe I'm hallucinating though.

I'm going to propose that those numbers are just wrong. We have hundreds of human-controlled worlds, but I'm guesstimating that we have maybe 30 to 50 worlds with populations that number in the millions.

Were they talking about 17 outer-edge colonies like Harvest?
