Dude, in TOS and TNG the United Federation of Planets makes the Eleejeetians look like 1800s Prussia. It's an exploration vessle. I think the exact class is "Star Cruiser", but my refrence books are 600 miles away.
As for the Eleejeetians, here's a direct quote from NATHAN LAMONT: "However, on the rare occasions that they do choose to fight, their superior technology becomes readily apparent." That's from the prologue to "YO HO HO", and is talking about the Eleejeetians. That DIRECTLY INDICATES they are high in the rankings of raw ship power. The advantage rating (an indication, prehaps, of what Nathan Lamont intended) also is THE HIGHEST.
BTW, if the Ishimans really consturct tube worlds (as some claim Nathan Lamont told them), then they'd need a massive quantity of resources. I see the Ishimans as sort of the cold-war-after-Vietnam-era US of Ares, a massive superpower that sees itself as the guardian of the downtrodden, but unwilling to do much besides provide sanctuary and supplies. That would bring them into line with the Cantharans in terms of shear strategic power.
