I do kinda love the sense of scale the UED's presence establishes; the fact that it takes all three factions concentrating all their power (well most of it, kerrigan was also spending like half of hers on backstab plots) to beat up this one expeditionary fleet and make the UED go "fine, fuck it we'll leave you backwater hicks alone" is really funny to me
Yeah entire expedition was presented as a doomsday armada, but to the UED it might be something that was cooked by clerical error or some local governor side project and after failure it was just sweeped under the rug and Earth never even heard about it.
