I was thinking a contingent headed by a single battleship and seeded with your standard fare of navy goodies; cruisers of the generic variety, a few heavies flanking the flagship, and a collection of lights as a vanguard. Round it out with enough escorts to screen the battlefleet, but not enough to thin themselves all over the sub-sector.

 The actual numbers are less important to me, and probably something we should hammer out later (if you are okay with this in the first place), but I am interested in commanding a fleet rather than a mere detachment. I am assuming that the Consortium has enough loyalists to put up a relatively solid slugging match against a decent imperial response.
