Default Re: New Galactica Series

Actually it would be 80 fighters as they have stated they have a compliment of 4 fighter squadrons:
Red
Blue
Yellow
Green
Of 20 fighters each which means 80 fighters.

Okay the estimated total military strength of the Colonial Fleet is as follows:
120 Battlestars (confirmed)
9,600 Fighters (80 fighters per battlestar assuming the new battlestars have the same compliment as the Galactica Class)
480 Raptors (assuming 1 raptor per squadron)
Each fully manned battlestar let's say 5,000 people times 120= 600,000 persons.

All in all a small military navy for 12 worlds each with populations numbering in the billions.
