So: You
assume you gain Air Supremacy everywhere you go, sooner rather then later; Under these conditions, you don't even body-guard stuff, you call up a general reserve when you see something you dislike, as your sensors are that good.
Part of this gag is how a
compromise on a fighters' internal fuel lets it win more often, at the cost of relying upon support units to achieve said critical mass.
The trick becomes "is this easier to do as a planetary deference, or as ship-born attackers?"

Both of these bozos pick which side of Teh 'Face to hide in depending on current threat conditions; Both assume they will get to go home and have a nice long nap every 12 standard-hours.
They are
not "zero self-defense," but it is open to interpretation what they
do have; The lack of
Beagles, to help allies clock near-by aggressors, might be an oversight; The-both
seem to have lowest-common-denominator thrust, and
nether could
really run for theirs lives' …
