The Babawi Empire currently had 200 Main Legions, totaling 60 million warships. Including the Garrison Fleets stationed across its territories, the total could easily exceed 100 million.
That might have sounded like a lot, but compared to the civilizations on the Four Major Spiral Arms of the Milky Way, it was still pitifully weak.
Just look at the two major alliances fighting along the Galactic Core Channel. Each alliance consisted of only one Level 5 Civilization leading around thirty Level 4 Civilizations, yet the war had already reached a scale of hundreds of billions against hundreds of billions.

Although they could deploy a full hundred Main Legions, Babania did not know why, but he always had a bad feeling about this. His instincts had always been extremely accurate!
