I had never heard of the 1000 number of whitestars? Anyone care to comment on that one?

JMS isn’t big on numbers. Remember, as far as he’s concerned a Starfurys fly at the speed of plot. In season 2 the Narn lose around ten ships in their final desperate gamble, devastating their fleet. Season 4 has thousands of ships come together to fight the shadows (though the ‘thousands’ may include fighters and certainly counts corvette sized ships). But around 40 Omegas is a really big fleet.

JMS has stated different numbers of White Stars at different times. He’s said there were around 150 to start with and that loses reduced them and but on another occasion he said there were about 1000 before they took loses in the war. As far as he’s concerned it doesn’t really matter because that’s not what the story is about. Which can lead to much confusion for these kinds of discussions.

BTW, the Narn used their Omega equivalent for scouting when they went to Z’ah’dum in season 2. Also, the point of the Omega was that many thought it was the new wonder-ship that could do anything. Popular thinking said they didn’t need many other kinds.
