I'm not sure why it took me this long to fincally consider the logistics of the local Imperial Navy and its civilian counterparts, but...
A sector fleet is supposed to be 50-75 ships. On the "average" I'd say that's probably 10 battleships, grand cruisers, and/or battle cruisers, 20 cruisers and/or light cruisers, and 40 escort vessels for most sector fleets, with a lot of caveats and exceptions.
Watch Est-27, or "Battlefleet" Koronus is supposed to have several battle cruisers, a dozen cruisers (with Lunars dominating), several light cruisers, and several squadrons of escorts.
That would mean that "Battlefleet" Koronus would contain most of the ships of Battlefleet Calixis. Of course, Calixis, being close to the Eye of Terror, and given the additional duty of watching The Maw, might be considerably reinforced. Then again, it has been stated that the Battlefleet was severely depleted by the Margin Crusade. All in all, it would seem that Battlefleet Calixis is quite a bit larger than it should be.
Also, the Imperial Navy is only about 11% the size of the Merchant Navy. I don't recall the relative size of Rogue Trader fleets as a percentage of the Merchant Navy.
So the Sector Fleet "should" have 50-75 vessels, and the Merchant Navy should ahve about 500-750. Of course, Calixis is rather distant from Terra, on the opposite side of the Eye of Terror from Terra, and has only beeen settled for a couple thousand year. This would probably mean that Chartist Captains are a smaller number than the "average."
So what does all this mean? Well, FFG sources put the number of Rogue Traders in the Koronus Expanse in the hundreds, and at least 3 of those Rogue Traders have considerable fleets.
These numbers just don't jive. Anyone care to take a shot at the problem? In another recent thread, many of us were comfortable with the RT fleets of Koronus numbering around 500. Given the size of an "average" sector fleet, these numbers also don't jive.
It definitely gives me food for thought for the next game I might run.
