 I'll go for the small powerful advanced fleet that takes care of mother
earth
 and also does deepspace aptrols on the Rim. >>

If you organize the UN forces as the real UN does you would have a
smattering
of ships form most of the nations that are a part of the UN (69 out of
~150),
but as has been disused in the Leagle commity at BMUN confrance was the
UN's
devloment of its own "peacekeeping" force, if this pased it would have
resuleted (at least in theroy) in a small, but very high tech force
(upgraded
M1A2s (A3?) and M2A4 (A5?)) in about a Cav Reg sized force.  It was
regected
to the high cost of design and procuring the AFV, ether approch would
work, it
just depends on two things, (1) how much support does the UN have from
its
member nations and (2) how much money do they have to spend?
