Do too many factions have capital ships?

[Stealthsultn]

The outcasts have 1 major planet with 1 major city and a few smaller cities in the mountains. They have issues breeding and are suffering from a declining population (look at the feud with synth-cardi). I would estimate that the outcast population does not exceed 200 million (this due to the inhospitable environment on malta [and crete for that matter]) That means 100 million working age outcasts working mainly on the growing and cultivation of cardimine foremost and utmost. What percentage of outcast society serves in the military? If you population is admittedly so small, how can you ever compete with the economy of houses with many planets that have populations that sometimes reach the double digit billions on just one planet?

And yet its "the richest house" with a fleet of dreadnaughts. I know why they call the 101st "Ghosts"; it must be what you crew/build and supply those battleships with :laugh:
