Comparative fleet strength... people keep forgetting that defendable territory is a factor in that. Bretonia's house navy may be smaller, but they have at this point less territory to cover, having all but pulled back from the Taus. The CR's forces may be in absolute term no match for the KNF, but given they have at most one system to defend for themselves, they can concentrate everything they have. Kusari has the lower Taus, the conflicted Bretonian systems and now the conflict in the Sigmas all pulling on their forces. Hokkaido may be secure in a military fashion, but according to every piece of lore I've read, still has heavy Blood Dragon and GC raiding forces, making mining operations difficult (the GMG has the same problem with the Hogosha, Corsairs and Outcasts). Point being, that their naval assets have to be distributed between all these systems and resources that require to be defended.
