The Empire

If the Emporer and Darth Vader were still alive, and the Empire was still the supreme might in the galaxy would the Yuuzhan Vong have posed such a threat? and would they have gotten as far as they have in their Conquest of the galaxy?

 

There were a few threads in the past that covered this question. I personally think the Yuuzhan Vong wouldn't stand a chance against the Imperial Navy. Not to mention all the resources Palpatine had in his sleeve. Of course there's always that Death Star he built that would have taken care of Vong worldships in a jiffy.

I believe the Yuuzhan Vong were waiting for the right time to strike the GFFA. After the civil war had ended, the NR downsized its fleet. The attack was totally unsuspected and it was the NR's fault for not realizing its threat.

Too bad Palpatine still wasn't around

 

I think the way it is now is better then if old Palpi was still around, IMO.

 

they would never have lasted. It would have been one huge united enemy, Instead of a how wack of enemies worried about then selves.

 

I dont know I mean the might Empire was brought down by a small band of Rebels remember. And the Rebels didnt have half the fleet and resources as they do now. So its hard to say.

 

IF the Empire was still goin gwhen the VOng attacked, their invasion whould have been taken car of swiftly. There would still ahve been initial loses and great casualties, but with the Emperors control of the Tropps (much like the yammosk's) the empire would have won. Plus, the Empire has no religion and intercast fighting to bring it down. Yes, it had its problems, but nithing that could bring it diwn swiflt from within while the war is going on. The Empire would probably also come up with some new technology and use it against the Vong, maybe even incorparate their own tech (who diesn't want an organism that can suck things down in to a singularity?)

as for the small rebel group that took them down....the Vong don't know as much about htis galaxy as they did, so it would be harder for the, plus i doubt any are the sone of Vader..... It woud be interesting if the rebels teamed up with the VOng to take down the Empire (like the Peace Brigade in NJO)......

 

Im gonna agree with Fetts clone, I think the Empire would've Owned the Yuuzhan Vong, I mean I could be wrong and probably am but has there been a single Star Destroyer lost to them? (them being the Vong)

 

The Yuuzhan Vong try to bring down a moon on one of the empires planets and the Death Star or Eclipse destroys the moon with the superlaser screwing it all up, after that the DS brings down a moon or astroid on a Worldship with its tractor beam.

And the fact that Emperor Palpatine would use the refuge ships as shields in battle and would force them to fight the vong ships,the empire would have no qualms about destroying refuge fleets to destroy vong,probably put by putting 10 thermal detonators on one and letting it get captured and blowing up a worldship.
