Got it.
Considering that many of them originated at Amon-Lanc, they no longer have home ports either. Ergo, they are orphaned. From the story, many are automated with on-board AIs and are nuclear fueled and are therefore, largely autonomous. Finding them is one thing, having a port large enough to bring them to is yet a different problem. Unloading them is yet another problem. Does the Maris Islands have port capacity for them somewhere? Greenvale may help there, maybe? Another option is Delusarnan Port if it has been cleared from quarantine. There is also port Morris.
The House Mebhe Fleet also has a personnel issue. Most of those sailor were out at sea when Amon-Lanc was nuked. All of their families have been killed. From earlier in the story, they have less than 5,000 effectives, total. I am being generous. The Maris Islands airport also just became Hose Mebhe’s only land-based aeroport. Yes, Maris Islands-House Mebhe could definitely use the additional resources but dealing with them has its own set of issues.
There is also the issue of those that Dehane didn’t kill off, if any. There should be over 25,000 dead bodies and their support community, or resultant splinter groups.
… Assuming they /had/ any and it wasn’t all or mostly just avatars of himself.
