Corrected entry: Sector 001 is the Solar System, and the location of Earth, the Federation's capital world. For such an important location, it doesn't seem to be heavily guarded and no ships are seen establishing a perimeter defense around the planet, or even orbiting it. Earth is the Borg's target. With the threat of a Borg invasion, one would expect Starfleet Command to mobilize every ship they could, alert their allies and recall the ships not in-system, yet only 10-20 ships are shown attacking the Cube (not counting the ones destroyed prior to the the Enterprise's arrival).

Correction: Too much supposition. We don't know how many ships defending Earth have already been destroyed, how many were close enough to get there in time, how many might have encountered the Borg en route and fallen without ever reaching the defensive line at Earth. Earth isn't a fortress, requiring a huge defensive fleet at all times - Starfleet ships will generally be out on assignment, so all they have at Earth is what they can pull together in time. Certainly we don't have remotely enough information to consider this a valid error.
