This is not an idiotic question. The Mars defense perimeter is an idiotic defense posture, meant to confuse idiots. The Pakled for an example. When they attack Earth, it'll be a slaughter.Sisu said:
Is the Mars Defense Perimeter really only 3 torpedo like things Best of Both Worlds? If so, then it is a pretty weak defense. Why is it, despite at least 3 separate attempts to invade / destroy Earth (Vejur, the Whale Probe, and the nasty critters from Conspiracy) before the Borg attack, the Federation did nothing to build up Sol defenses? Was this because there is no money in the Federation, so no real defenses could be bought?
