Why would either the Forerunners or the Imperium have such a small group? The Forerunners spent over three centuries combating the Flood and humanity over a thousand years before that; they would never be stupid enough to use such a small force of ships.

Besides, have you read about Foreruner Weapon-ships (their fighters)? They're unmanned drones that come up to a million ships for each Forerunner warrior controlling them.
