Not that many troops, but the forces of the Alliance are numerous.

The Alliance's shtick is an adaptive defence. Instead of each planet being assigned a defensive fleet, planets are given picket fleets while the larger fleets float about in the inner planets, ready to zip off to where they're needed most.
