Ja.
TL; DR
-
Ja, motstånd har i princip inget annat. 3 X-Wings, en roddbåt och en barfota trummare pojke.
-
Nej, den nya republiken skulle inte kunna hjälpa dem (även om de ville, vilket de inte uttryckligen gjorde) - de flesta av N.R. Flotta torkades ut tillsammans med Hosnian-systemet. För det är det som händer när man oroar sig för beskattning av handelsrutter mer än om kejsarslubbarna som hyler vid dörren.
-
Ja, Starkiller Base är väldigt lätt försvarad. Säkerhet genom dunkelhet. De är i princip Microsoft.
Novellering citat kommande i en liten bit.
Detaljer:
-
Ny republik var inte intresserad av militärkonfrontation med första ordningen.
Detta beskrivs i detalj i Visual Dictionary. Jag kommer inte att fördjupa här eftersom det inte är väldigt tyst mot detta svar och förtjänar sitt eget separata svar om någon är intresserad av detaljer.
-
Även om de var, var deras flotta allt Starkillered i Hosnian system:
Expanding outward from the explosion, a tremendous burst of heat tore through the Hosnian system’s other worlds, searing their surfaces clean of life and incidentally obliterating all settlements, installations, and outposts, as well as the hundreds of ships belonging to the Republic fleet. In its wake, the detonation left behind a blazing, spherical mass. The home of the Republic had become a new binary system: one utterly devoid of life.
-
Jag kan bekräfta från novelleringen att ENDAST X-Wings skickades. Inget omnämnande av Y-vingar eller något annat.
Dessutom fanns det bara 2 eller 3 skvadroner:
“Roger, base.” Hitting the controls necessary to alter course within a lightspeed run, Poe addressed the rest of his flight. “Red squad, blue squad—follow my lead.” At his touch, their revised vector entered the flight computer of every ship in every squadron, and the X-wings promptly adjusted as a single unit.
“Copy, Black Leader,” Wexley replied, as his own craft changed directionBeroende på om Black Squad existerade (eller var helt enkelt Poe), har vi 2 eller 3 skvadroner.
-
Till överst på det - det är ganska mycket ALLT som motstånd har.
“All teams, nice job!” Poe said to his fellow pilots. “General, the target’s been destroyed!”
Leia’s warm voice filled his ears, but the message she delivered was an unexpected one. “Good—now retreat immediately! The planet could be unstable. Get out of there now.”
Even with the relay in place, it took a moment for the message to be received. Poe didn’t hesitate to reply. “If we retreat, we leave our friends behind!”
Having anticipated Poe’s response, Leia was ready with her own. “Poe, outside of those of us here, your group is all that remains of the Resistance that’s capable of putting up a fight. If you stay to find them, we lose you all.” -
Motståndet är så lätt beväpnat (Hatt / tips @ Jake Gould ) finns i Star Wars Databas för Resistance X -wing:
The Incom T-70 X-wing is the latest incarnation of a classic design, and the signature combat craft of the Resistance’s Starfighter Corps. Faster than the Alliance-era T-65s, Resistance X-wings are maneuverable enough to engage TIE fighters in dogfights, but powerful enough to take down capital ships. The credit-strapped Resistance relies on X-wings donated or lent by sympathetic New Republic senators and local security forces.
Samma artikel ger en aning om varför de inte behövde en bombare, den nya X-vingen fungerade i grunden som en jätte-bombare.

Vapnet var lätt försvarat, åtminstone så långt som motståndet kunde berätta, för Första Orden antog ingen visste om det, för att de hade en sköld och för att de hade ett sätt att upptäcka om motstånd mobiliserades:
“We’d likely get only one shot at it,” Poe put in. “What Admiral Ackbar said about keeping it secret would only work as long as its location remains unknown. Once the First Order realizes that we know where it is, they’d throw everything they’ve got into defending it with ships, mobile stations, and long-range detectors. We might never get close to it again.”
“None of this is possible,” a downcast Ackbar postulated. “While the planet in question may at present be deliberately underdefended, the instant we move forces out of hiding and in its direction, the First Order will realize that we know the location of the weapon. They will mobilize everything in the vicinity to protect it. Their fleet is too large for us to fight our way through. Additionally, despite what Poe theorizes, I would wager they must already have at least a minimal planetary shield in place. Plainly, they can access the energy to support such a defense.” He looked at Finn, whose reply was not encouraging.
“Yes, such a shield does exist.”
