Bretonian ships tend to be pretty old but sturdy, and most of those not in Cambridge have suffered lots of damage over the years.
Im kinda feeling lost in disco lore.
Gallia info page says (exact text):" Gallia's technology advances have focused extensively on military research, and even the most venerable of its centuries-old battleships can stand toe-to-toe with some of the modern warships employed by Sirian forces."
It means, that pre-Valor, assembled, let's say in 600's AS, can hold it own against most of ships being made in the end of 700's and early 800's AS? In same time, watching, how great is Gallia's suxes' in war, I can say, the got pre-Valors of 500's AS.
On the other hand, does Sirius even had chances against those, who has technological advantage in many centuries? They could have engines, which could throttle massive ship easely as fighter. Sheild, which could be barely penetrated, weapon, which could work on complete different principles. Im not even talking about "non shooting warfire devices" like scanner jamers, (alright, I'll say it ) CLOAKS, dunno what else... gravity beam, which could throw asteroids into enemy ships.
Would we now much our own forces in 2213 year? I doubt...
So, don't you even think, that Gallia could have complete other way and principles of fighting war? With high-end technology, would their strategy be more elegant and effective, than just stupid massive armada deployment?
May be, let's remove part, about Gallia's tech advantage, leaving part, only about numbers, so it could feat story better.
