But, then, *we* are under-militarized from the context of certain parts of history, even outside wartime. The old pre-industrial war-armies of tens and hundreds of thousands are huge even today outside of world wars. <br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2011/sep/01/military-service-personnel-total<br /><br />There is an interesting graph of UK force size over only the past century or so. It is generally flat, but for war spikes. But if you took that data and graphed it against the rising population, up by 2/3rds since 1900, the per capita figure has significantly declined. <br /><br />Both Trek and Wars are probably under-militarized, but TCW-era Wars moreso. Imperial era is just a guessing game.

A galactic war thought across an entire galaxy with millions of inhabited world's (probably at least thousands of which were quite industrialised) with less soldiers than thought in our own world wars here on earth? This seems totally unbelievable to me. Coruscant's police force would be larger :). - Vince Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12251252.post-15292832186155916392015-06-20T01:58:58.726-05:002015-06-20T01:58:58.726-05:00The new visual guides might mention crew counts, i...The new visual guides might mention crew counts, if your considering those. I'm not a big fan of the new canon; I'd have preferred it if the new eu was officially considered secondary to the films. In my work (if ever I find the time to get back to it..) I'm gonna gonna fly with that.

Analysis of ground pressure if it lands or terminal velocity if ever seen falling unpowered in an Earth-like atmosphere would be good clues to help guide estimates. <br /><br />But, as noted on my intro page, Star Trek and Star Wars are topics big enough that I don't see myself expanding anytime soon… though the idea of a Blake's 7 tech site still draws me. That'll be my retirement plan. :-) <br /><br />http://st-v-sw.net/STSWintro.htmlGuardianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284444370958467313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12251252.post-45170760890337100952015-06-19T15:53:09.259-05:002015-06-19T15:53:09.259-05:00About your volumetrics page, have you ever thought...About your volumetrics page, have you ever thought of adding the ISV venture star to the list?
