Though I wonder what brought the heavy cruisers down on Iscandar? When did it even arrive in system? Did it get caught in some disturbance? Did Kodai and his crew break out and bring the ship down? Were they hit by pirates.....
We can assume vastly quicker travel times for the Gamilus with the warp gates, but we don't know if there is a closer one to Earth rather than Beeland. Or if there is another one closer to Iscandar than the one Yamato used.
It is also possible that the Gamilus can warp farther within their own territory becaues they've mapped it, while travel between them and the Milky Way is slower due to the limits of their engines.
