I must emphasize, the fleet is dedicated to chase you, not conquering systems while you run away. It was exactly because of you, the rebel has to be hasty and rush the base with communication system still immature, relying on flagship. What if rebels used their fleet in normal war instead of chasing you? If you are an ordinary cruiser, an extra fleet can make sure the war end way faster. To reach further, you need to think for a bit. You left your production base in a haste (remember first sector is always civilian?), and rebels are stopping you the super weapon from getting away to aid the main fleet. Yes, your importance is on the Flagship level, and Flagship is just some shitty knock-off that make up quality with size. OK, in the game rebel Flagship is actually an reverse engineering of the Federation Cruiser. As you can see even with the message the Federation almost lost if not for you. If you think just the message you are bringing is worth dedication of an entire fleet chase across 7 sectors you are out of your mind. Why would they send an entire fleet to chase a single cruiser and fail to do so? Because you are that important. The rebel is dedicating an ENTIRE FLEET just to hunt you down. As first proven on above, you are a super weapon. Now comes the crazy part, you are chasing the enemy, and the rebel fleet is trying to intercept you. If it could just fight on it would not retreat in the first place. While you can argue the flagship can fight you 3 times, that is still only 1.5 times your hit point on a gigantic battleship rather than a cruiser, and it was implied the Flagship had some kind of refitting(new drone weapons) and repair between fights. The technology is then used on Federation Cruiser. Now you may wonder, The Kaestral is "an old cruiser used by Federation", how can it be the super weapon? Well, perhaps there was a breakthrough in ship design that made it able to withstand huge amount of damage, and The Kaestral was the only used for testing, much like the prototype Rebel Flagship. This is coupled by the description of Federation Cruiser, you are indeed a secret super weapon developed by the Federation. If the Federation have many ships of your kind, they would win easily. Think about it, you have more hit points than rebel flagship. You are driving a prototype super cruiser with intent to combat the rebel.
