Here's why the Confederation should never have built the Behemoth:
When the Kilrathi attacked the Confederation much of the Confederation's fleet was destroyed at McAuliffe. There would have unquestionably been a military draft of the Confederation citizenry. Rather than wasting resources on one big ship (the Behemoth) that could have been easily destroyed by a Kilrathi fleet & fighter force, it would have been better to have used the resources to build more carriers and fighters to defend the Confederation worlds and then go on the offensive when ready. Furthermore, the armistice should never have been signed.
