Star Trek Nemesis vessels

[Weyoun12]

STAR FLEET Battle Group OMEGA
USS INTREPID NCC-74600
USS VALIANT NCC-75418
USS GALAXY NCC-70637
USS AIRES NCC-45167
USS NOVA NCC-73515
USS HOOD NCC-42236
USS ARCHER NCC-44278

With the Nemesis DVD having been out for several weeks now this was the "fleet" the Enterprise E was going to rendenvous with to destroy the Scimitar in Nemisis. Three ships listed here have identifiable ship classes. The Intrepid (same), Galaxy (same), and the Hood (Excelsior). Whether the Nova ship is a Nova class is for debate as the Starships book lists it with a different NX registry. The Valiant could be another Defiant class but not the same ship from the DS9 episode as it was destroyed with registry NCC-74210.

But then again . . . what would happen if you didn't have so many ships?

Anyone for a Borgafied Earth? I don't think so. If anything . . . there's constantly one task force floating in the general vacinity. There's a reason why Washington has several combat capable units in the realitive vacinity.

Just remember that Starships was written well before Nemesis came out...

Well you could say that the Borg threat provided what Admiral Hansen alluded to in The Best of Both Worlds Pt 1 (TNG) in that something like the Borg was what was required for the Federation and Starfleet in that it was a heafty kick in the complacency.

I think prior to the Borg attack of 2367 Starfleet had a minimal standing force of ships in the Sol System because they believed no-one would attack Earth. When the Breen attacked Earth is DS9 Martok expressed incredulity at their audacity saying that even his people never attacked Earth.

Since the Borg attack Starfleet obviously reassesed it's defence plans and quite dramatically. By the time of the Dominion War how many new more aggressive ships did the fleet field? Akira, Steamrunner, Norway, Defiant, Saber Classes to name a few. Hardly explorer vessels. Not that they did much when the Breen came a calling but they seemed pretty effective against the second Borg attack of 2373 as they fleet was inflicting heavy damage on the cube by the time the Enterprise arrived on the screne.

It should also be remembered that during Deep Space Nine it would only take them a couple of days to amass fleets of several hundred vessels (about 250, I recall, for the fleet that retook the station).

Finally,

In Best of Both Worlds (1 and 2) it took Starfleet hours to muster 40 vessels at Wolf 359 in 2367. Yet in the Endgame (Voy), set ten years later, it didn't take them very long (literally minutes) to assemble a fleet of 23 vessels with another 19 on the way when they detected in incoming Borg Sphere.

I think there is cannonical (and some would daresay heretical) evidence to suggest that Starfleet had become less complacent about it's defence, the threats that they faced and had learned the hard way from it's mistakes but they did learn.
