I don't think tie fighers would even pose a threat to Star Fleet vessels, they would be easy targets for phaser beam arrays. It'd be one hit kills and no way to evade as Star Fleet vessels tend to have 360 degree firing arcs. Tie fighters against the Enterprise would be like gnats attacking a horse.

[@kaicreech7336]

@@asvarien While the Federation does have 360 firing arcs, phasers are always capable of hitting small, fast-moving targets like TIE's. While the standard TIE fighter doesn't have the ability to penetrate the shields of anything, a Squadron of TIE bombers could use a successive series of strikes to break throufh, but they are much slower. The TIE Defender would have the potential to pose a threat to a federation vessel in paper, though that doesn't account for the increased speed and manuverability of Federation vessels compared to capitol ships in the Star Wars universe. And of course, all this implies anyone in the Imperial Navy that isn't Thrawn, Vader, and maybe Yularren are competant.

[@JohnG6]

I think part of the problem is the way the two forces have been shown to use their technology. You never really hear anything in SW about adjusting anything. Shields are just shields, blasters are just blasters. ST was written so that most of their tech was adjustable in multiple ways.

[@tk5800thesecond]

It could be explained tat the Galactic Empire has become complacent in their apex domination of the galaxy. any new tech is made by them, so they wouldnt make something that could destroy a star destroyer in one hit. they also would certainly not give tat tech to anyone outside the higher echolons of the empire. So shields being shields stay that way cause they never need to be more powerful, or modulate, or be able to extend to envelope an asteroid. its also that in wiritng a star wars story shields are shields and thats that, they dont have to do more cause the story is focussed elsewhere. like with engines, tey get the character from point A to B it doesnt matter too much how fast tey do it

Personally I think the Q Continuum would be eradicated by the Sith. The reason why I think this is simple: when Q flings the Enterprise into the Federation's 'first' encounter with the Borg, Q shows in his dialogue with Picard that even HIS race is wary of the Borg's power. The Sith (Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader) are FAR more powerful than the Borg because they can use the Force. I personally think that the Prophets, or 'wormhole aliens' would not only defeat the Q Continuum but also the Sith and the Empire. Remember that the 'Prophets' are NOT linear, meaning that they can see ALL possible futures. I personally think that the Q Continuum tries NOT to cross/anger the 'Prophets/wormhole aliens'. Again, this is just my own personal opinion.

[@ShneekeyTheLost]

It makes then in many ways superior to an X-wing if you do that with a Tie Advanced. Remember, Tie were mostly sublight with no hyperdrive because they didn't have the space for the navigation computers. They were parasite ships. However, warp engines don't require nearly the complex calculations to use, and so you could put something like warp drives on Tie Bombers and Tie Advanced to project a sizable force which could easily deal with smaller Federation ships. Basically, the death of a thousand cuts, striking out at dozens of systems simultaneously, forcing the Federation to maintain a very defensive pose and diverting a major percentage of their fleets to defensive actions to avoid massive civilian losses. It would have, at the very least, minimized their opponent's ability to amass fleets to harass and attack their main star destroyer fleets, and been a massive pain for the Federation. Now the scary thing is that the warp nacells and duturium crystal matricies gives you the power budget to put a Federation-style multi-phasic shield on a Tie Advanced or Tie Bomber...

[@zuzoscorner]

I guess if the Empire did retorfit fighters with phasers and sheilds they could overwhelm a large battleship in star trek. I still think that federation ships like voyager can turn on a dim. (always though those star destroyers turned slowly)

Shields yeah, phasers, no point. The weapons of the SW universe would be capable enough to do the job required. And as for maneuverability, even an Intrepid class wouldn't be able to keep up with the swarms of fighters as the dime a TIE can turn on is far smaller than the cruisers just thanks to the relative size of both ships.

[@HuntingTarg]

Wormhole opens new conquest opportunities. The Empire has, apart from the force-enhanced foresight (force-sight?) of Emperor Palpatine, not a lot of strategic acumen. HitIer fought a war on two fronts while suffering losses by the French Resistance (although in that historical example it was the other way 'round - the leader overriding his generals' advice with fanatical ambition). Imperial officers fit the description Spielberg offers in "The Last Crusade" : "goose-stepping morons." The Sith, and Thrawn, were the real strategic intelligence behing the empire, like a Gung-Fu master wielding a staff or a Krat Maga expert wielding a simple hammer.

[@tk5800thesecond]

the rebellion is anyone who has empathy or a yearning for freedom in their heart and mind. Just like Gowron asked Picard "Have you ever fought an idea, picard?" so too must the Empire fight the movement of the rebellion. The rebellion is a disgust, distrust, or even just an annoyance with how the Empire runs things. Even if you arnt knowledgable to the empires atrocities paying a toll at every spaceport to the local Empire Policing Cruiser seems pointless and cutting into your smuggling profits. that seed right there of annoyance is enough to at least have someone look the other way if a rebel spy needs to hide in your cargo container. Defeating the rebellion in this way although possible would take generations of indoctrination and a level of control unattainable by the Empire. but try do try. As stated in the video Grand Mof Tarkin wanted newer resources from the Milkyway galaxy to build the death star in order to avoid taxing the local systems too much. This would avoid angering the population and watering the seed of rebellion. If you had to build the death star would you take away what a population had left to build it? "Iv got nothing to live for, which means I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Im joining the rebellion"

[@jdjonsson]

I think, maybe reading between the lines, he meant that differences in physics led down easier paths of innovation, so the technologies were just never invented there. The Federation could undoubtedly analyze the differences and compensate.

[@HuntingTarg]

@@jdjonsson Nope, definitely busted on continuity. And 'Deus Ex' is a good insight; one of the many techonological assets at the Federation's command is Nanites (who are their own civilization by now. Also the Binars. Also the Exocoms.

"Casually tosses the Federation fleet aside." LOL. Yeah, I don't think so.

[@GamaSennin82]

love both, but I will offer two arguments in favor of the Federation: First, technology in the Federation progresses quickly: a Galaxy class starship gets surprised by Jemhadar fighters; a couple years later, the saucer/arrow section of a Prometheus class cruiser, manned by confused holograms, takes a heavily shielded D'deridex class warbird apart in seconds, using only phasers. If the Federation were really in trouble, they'd outfit an Akira class cruiser with the Pegasus phase cloak and arm it with Omega Particle torpedoes (for when you gotta wipe out an enemy navy, plus the entire solar system it's in, with one shot). The Empire would have to subdue the Federation (and probably other Alpha Quadrant powers) really fast, and that might be tough if they needed to first map out hyperspace routes that took centuries to chart in their own galaxy. Second, I understand why you wanted to avoid using real physics in a fantasy sci-fi matchup, but it's hard for me to ignore the fact that Starfleet uses antimatter, while I only ever remember ships in the SW universe using fusion reactors (maybe that's my mistake; I'm more familiar with ST). Assuming nuclear fusion works the same way in the SW and ST universes, an antimatter reaction is vastly more energetic than a fusion reaction. Presumably, this would allow shields and weapons on Federation ships to be more powerful than those of the Imperial Navy.

[@Cleptro]

I mean, Star Wars ships also use ion engines...so...

[@nuclearsimian3281]

The only technology the Empire has that is strictly superior to UFP tech is the hyperdrive, and even that needs hyperspace lanes to use most efficiently. Voyager reverse engineered Quantum Slipstream drive, which is technically standard issue in the "soft canon" Star Trek Online, so take that for what you will. The Empire over-relies on slow weapons that cannot track at relativistic velocities, while Trek _Shuttlecraft_ can fly up to seven tenths of the speed of light. You only need to reach 5% of light speed to be relativistic by the way. Oh, and warp speed can be used for combat purposes. Then there's transporters, which every single race in Trek has some form of. They developed their shielding technology in such a way that transporters cannot pierce them. There's also insanely broken things like Iconian gateways laying around, there's the Romulan Thaleron weapons, there's the fact that 20 battleships wiped out 15% of a planet's crust in one volley. Unless Extended Universe content is brought in, the Empire is just not a threat to the UFP. Or the Klingons. Or the Romulans. There's also things like protomatter which can purge a planet's surface of its life forms and reconstitute it when used properly (the Genesis device,) the Cardassian Dreadnought torpedo (1,000kg of matter and antimatter, enough to crack a planet in half,) as I mentioned the Romulan Thaleron weapons and ships that can fire while cloaked, the Klingons have succeeded in creating that last bit as well, but are more limited in the whole unique superweapon aspect. Then there's the Borg. The Federation was prepping to fight the Borg for decades by the 25th century, which the Dominion War ended less than twenty years before, the Defiant, Sovereign, Prometheus, and more ships were designed with confrontations with the Borg in mind. Even with how much the OP limited the UFP's tech, if you take that limit away, literally the only advantage that the Star Wars ships have is their hyperdrives. Hyperdrives are quite a bit faster than warp drives, sure. If the UFP ever captures any ship with a hyperdrive, they'll reverse engineer it. This isn't even bringing up the Tholians, the Breen, the Dominion, the Borg, or Species 8472. Trek tech is better, except when it comes to FTL speed. It isn't a contest. Only EU numbers tip the balance the other way. I'm baffled that people still think that it is something that can be compared.

[@christopherschmeltz3333]

Guess giving up near instant site to site transport was a fairer exchange for crippling The Force than I originally assumed. Additionally, by placing this scenario after the Dominion War, I'd also expect better planetary defenses... perhaps even good enough to prevent a Death Star from firing! I'm not sure how well Star Trek's dilithium regulated antimatter annihilation reactors would compare to Star War's hypermatter annihilation reactors, but Starfleet is so technologically superior that the Galaxy class with families aboard is considered equivalent to the larger and purpose built Romulan Warbird! Additionally, while the sciences in Star Trek vastly improve over decades, the archives on Coruscant contain centuries of accumulated conclusions and most of the significant breakthroughs are just gathering the workforce together to assemble a more intimidating warship or mass production of complicated components to improve the survivability of usually disposable fighters.

[@HuntingTarg]

The Galaxy Class is not known to be an equivalent to the 24th-century Romulan Warbird. Channel creator has done later videos indicating that, if anything, the D'deridex class Warbird outclasses the Federation's Galaxy Class, due to much more internal volume, more powerful weapons, and better power & defense systems. It's not nearly as flexible & multirole-capable as a Galaxy Class, just 'bigger-better-faster-more.'

[@HuntingTarg]

'Planetary defenses'... you're talking about the level of defenses I saw playing Master of Orion II. I wouldn't expect the Federation to try that on every major planet. Their mainstay defense is starbases, which may not be able to withstand a Death Star, but in ST continuity can withstand hours to days of continuous fire..

[@christopherschmeltz3333]

@@HuntingTarg The D'deridex class Warbird internal volume was necessary to compensate for how bulky their inferior technology is, yet still couldn't come close to Galaxy class multi-role capability. The cloak and artificial black holes are the Romulans main advantages. The channel creator's interpretations is what I'm criticizing! Although, I mostly agree with what you said about planetary defense. Just that with Star Wars invading after the Borg and Dominion should have resulted in better preparations for the next military crisis. I don't remember, was Section 31 mentioned in part 1 or were they overlooked as well?

Another thumbs up from me. If the Empire has a major weakness, that is the internal unrest. Overall, i think you made an excellent what-if scenario and maintained a level of neutrality not often encountered in the SF circles. Kudos!

[@evanallen172]

ilejovcevski79 My sentiments exactly.

[@silentdreamer821]

I think that the internal unrest in the Milky Way is a much bigger weakness. Romulan's have shown in the past that they would take advantage of an incursion and the Cardasians would definitely side with the Empire. Also, the Klingons wouldn't be so ready to share their tech... I find that the unity of the Milky Way forces to be WAY too exaggerated. Of course if you are going to say that all the mental racial abilities of the Federation side will be enhanced in the galaxy far, far away then entire planets of force sensitives going through the worm hole would probably still give the Fed side the win.

[@ilejovcevski79]

Dunno, maybe. The way i see it, after the Dominion war, and the resent events on Remus and Romulus, the Alpha quadrant is quite stable. The Romulan-Federation relations are the best they've been since... well.....since ever and the Cardasians are not an issue, still recovering from the war. On the other hand, no force would ever make the Rebel Alliance side with the Empire. The ability augmentation i find to be a nice little touch, so some level playing field can be established without bringing in Organians, Q and other "exotic" species into the mix. After all, it is a what-if scenario, not an actual conflict.

[@evanallen172]

Jean-Luc Martel Now that you mention it 😂😂😂

[@Justice107]

The Cardassians would probably be in recovery mode at this point and still recovering. Given their situation of military and public support exhaustion they would remain politically neutral. Likely they would do underhand tech trades with the Empire. Sign non-aggression pacts. I don't think they would be interested in another war given their losses in manpower and likely territory. The three major powers of the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans would likely see the Empire as another Dominion threat and would be able to easily set aside differences again. They just got done doing this in the last war which is still fresh in everyone's mind so uniting quickly against the Empire would not be a far stretch. If is after the Nemesis event then the Romulans would be inclined to work with the Federation seeing how their senate was assassinated and the old guard that schemed against the Federation would be gone. A new senate would likely be pro-peace with its former enemy. I agree completely that the Klingons would not share any tech.

[@Snowwie88]

The Federation wins, on Technology.

[@putzthewondersloth]

@The Archangel Not necessarily. The range of Federation weapons are vastly superior to Imperial weapons. The v-150 Planet Defender deployed by the Rebel forces on Hoth, an ion cannon so bulky that it's planet-bound, has an optimal range of 4,000 km and a maximum range of 180,000 km. Federation weapons have a much further range, phasers being about 300,000 km and the range of photon torpedoes being in the millions of kilometers. At those ranges, the Federation ships wouldn't even need to use shields.

[@putzthewondersloth]

@The Archangel Let me grant you that the plasma weapons would make short work of any Federation defenses. Let me also grant you that phasers would stand no chance against a Star Destroyer's shields. I'll even grant that TIE fighters are extremely fast and accurate. Here are a few points I am considering though: 1. A Federation ship still has a firing range many times further than almost any Imperial weapon. They also have the ability to stay out of that firing range thanks to their warp engines which can be called upon on a moment's notice for an extended trip or a quick jump. 2. If TIE fighters are launched, they would be sitting ducks while they tried to close the distance. They have no shields and would be facing long-range computer-controlled weapons which almost never miss. Even if they did close the distance, again, warp engines would open the gap again. 3. The Federation wouldn't come charging in either, not unless the captain were reckless or stupid. The Federation are greatly made up of explorers and scientists. They've put a lot of time and resources into their sensors (thanks much to cloaking technology) and it would take very little time to determine the make-up of a Star Destroyer. They would quickly recognize the offensive and defensive capabilities of such a ship. 4. Finally, the ace in the hole for the Federation: torpedoes. If you recall from the movies, physical objects aren't stopped by the shields of the Star Destroyers. Recall how the Millennium Falcon got close enough to latch itself to one or how others were pummeled in the asteroid field. A photon torpedo is little more than an unmanned ship with an explosive charge. They could be directed at any point on the Star Destroyer, most likely the shield generators or bridge. So both sides have weapons which the other can't defend against, but their range and maneuverability give the Federation ships the win. -Note: I did some additional research and a TIE fighter going flat-out at 100 MGLT (1MGLT = 0.3 km/s) would be going 1,200,000 km/h while a starship going at one-quarter impulse would be going just shy of 270,000,000 km/h (1/4 the speed of light). Please correct my math if I'm wrong though. -Note: I have to disagree with phasers being described as "literally just superheated lasers" as their beam can stun or fully disintegrate a target. A superheated beam would burn through a target (possibly setting them on fire), but wouldn't cause full disintegration and certainly not the ability to stun. This is true for a ship's phasers as well since they have been known to stun large areas.

[@TheBigExclusive]

Maybe in the beginning, but in this dudes scenario the Federation trades away technology to the Star Wars universe. The tech advantage is the only thing keeping the Federation alliance alive. But since he said the Federation alliance gives the Stars Wars Universe tech in trade, then the tech advantage wouldn't last long. The empire would eventually catch up.

[@nicholasyost8400]

@@TheBigExclusive The big mistake would actually be hyperspace routes. With intricate knowledge, the Empire would just "appear" well within attack range, shoot with a fully charged Ion, then pummel the VERY EXPOSED engines that are very large, of every enemy starfleet ship. also, with multiple locations to set up things like connor nets, the Empire gets a VERY UNFAIR advantage. Also, beaming and warp require shields to be down for ST, unlike SW so SW would just chase until ST ran out of fuel. Also, with intricate knowledge of every ally planet, SW would just 40k deep strike from behind. Also, the Empire wouldn't hesitate to 'cheat' with an alliance with Species 8472, like they did with the Hutts in a what if battle. More realistic: The alliance wouldn't probably fall through because Palpatine would be furious if Tarkin tried something like that as the Rebels would take full advantage of that. Also, the Federation, as well as the Vulcans, would make huge allies, with the Klingons only making average because the Empire would already have more powerful weaponry at this point (through technicality only).

The Empire finds a lost stable ancient stable hyperspace route. The Empire discover that most of the Unknown Regions is stable. The Emperor orders a small fleet of ship to explore the area. When the Empire ships jump into hyperspace, the crews become aware of why hyperspace travel is difficult in the Unknown regions. The fleet finds out that hyperspace in the stable regions is slightly different. After the fleet ships adjusts their hyperspace drives, they find themselves exiting into regular space. Then the crews of all of the Empire ships notice a rather large space station known as Babylon 5.

So in such a case that Sidious personally got involved it would steam roll. It should also be noted that three star destroyers with no other support could wipe out the surface of a planet within hours. I agree for the most part with the given scenario however the rebellion at this point was a minor event, it didn't have even enough men to crew more than maybe two star destroyers.

Again the size argument. But this is easily refuted. On many occasions a Galaxy Class is considered at least equal in power to a Warbird thus when you assume Warbirds simply due to their size are equal to Star Destroyers thus must be several ship classes of Starfleet, the Klingons and so on.Either one assumes a level playing field or one opens pandoras box on technology level and there Star Trek has major hints that they are way more advandced with haveing matter-energy efficient enough to use it on a large scale industrial level for several centuries. Also from real live examples size does not really matter on the question which ship takes out the other. Quite small ships can be very deadly to very large ones. In fact Destroyers were first invented because large Cruisers, Dreadnought, Battleships needed ships that could defend them from torpedo boats. Add the size of some of the Starbases of Starfleet we saw. What war mobilisation in a highly automated and replicator driven economy truly means. Billions enlisted or conscripted from densly populated worlds. Ship production on a speed an economy without replicator tech can't hoe to achieve. New ships designed more along the idea of the Defaint Class, if need be ships with high automisation level to get more bank per invested manpower and so forth. I'm not sure the Empire would be able to maintain a numerical advantage esspecially when one assumes that they need to keep forces at home if only to keep themself in power. Even if the force would work for Vader he wouldn't be able to shock Starfleet much. The Federation has several memberspecies with strange powers. Unleasing the stronger telepaths alone could drive whole Stormtrooper legions mad. Add what they additionally encountere Q and even with the force working Vader would really be nothing more than a footnote.

[@michaelmorris1741]

[@P-J-W-777]

Since the alpha quadrant had transporter capability they would most likely utilize them to beam bombs/torpedoes onto the empire star destroyers. It’s also been mentioned in the Star Wars that their weapons are clumsy and not very accurate since someone has to physically aim them. The alpha quadrant ships would have an advantage there, because their targeting systems are controlled by advanced computers thus being more accurate and much faster. I also believe that the Romulans would overlook the Khitomer Accords and allow the Federation to install cloaking devices on all of their ships. They would also most likely utilize self replicating, cloaked and uncloaked mines setting them up in areas they know the empire will exit hyperspace. They would most likely also try to mine the worm hole again as well to prevent further ships from coming through.

Star Trek weapons are so much more powerful than Star wars weapons, in Star Wars Rebels, loads of Star destroyers bombard a base with an old shield generator that barely stabilised and only just scratch it.

Richie Brown I am not really that sure about that

[@fbi805]

The cloak used in Star Wars is different from those used in Star Trek. Star Wars cloak is similar to current stealth fighter technology where are in Star Trek it's a complete invisibility shield designed to absorb radiation and electromagnetic frequencies

[@perezfinichames]

I think you did a great job with this. A key here was the excellent choice of scenarios. Even if one disagrees with details, your final outcome is very defendable, regardless of which side you prefer. Plus it's consistent with the values of the governments involved. It's best Star Wars vs Star Trek scenario I have seen to date.

[@Neyonius]

Wow, this is a fantastic breakdown. I disagree with some minor details, but being a fan of both I feel you made a very fair assessment. Thank you for your efforts bud, it's a very touchy project, and you've done very well.

Vader not having his powers is bull

[@dutchmapping1]

Ever heard of Q? Ever watched Star Trek?

[@cainabel6356]

Have you ever heard of a different universe? Star Trek does not have a living force, so if Vader went into the Star Trek universe, it would not exist. He would be powerless. Now if the fight was in the Star Wars universe, he would have his powers.

[@equarg]

Vader arrives first...only to find his force powers severely diminished. AKA...Vader is USELESS!

[@artembentsionov]

Until someone tells him to just travel to the edge of the galaxy for a power boost

[@xileets]

Hmm. I like how you actually tied both universes together in that they helped each other to improve and have a better outcome in their home galaxy in the end.

[@judakahn7291]

I must say that i really enjoyed your premise. It would make for an awesome animated story

[@NathansWargames]

so many unknowns, like would 8472 get involved ? they could in theory by themselves take on the entire star wars universe by themselves you also mentioned Q , if the federation lost would he have punished the GE ?

[@TheMultiGunMan]

Wow! This was very well thought out and presented. I agree that the Federation/Romulan/Klingon alliance would eventually win. However, I think the Federation would have mined the wormhole with self replicating mines far sooner than you stated.

[@KubiG1000]

I don't believe so, Feds are just too pacifist and moralist to do that. Just as they didn't destroy Borg straightaway after they first met them (by sending a borg Tim back as a "ticking bomb"). Klingons or Romulans however... :)

[@jdjonsson]

And as part 1 explained, it took no time at all to launch a huge incursion fleet and establish a Wormhole-head, and bomb the snot out of Bajor. Once The Empire controlled DS9 with enough huge Star Destroyers with their swarms of fighters - something the UFP just didn't have an instant counter for, then there was no option to mine the wormhole until the Empire retreated. It was pretty well thought out. I liked his take.

[@Sorestlor]

Yes not only was it very well thought out it was a nice narrative.

Planetary defense system would keep the empire from attacking planets or base.

[@nilious]

The Empire knows about cloaking technology and has Weapons to fight them. After the First 3 Attacks they will use their Protontorpedoes that lock on the cloaking Field to fight those capital ships. The Star Wars Universe has cloaking technology but it is still in their beginnings. But that is because there are Weapons against cloaked ships. And the Empire wouldn't bombard a Planet without trying to take it before. I don't know a Lot about Star Trek but I know a Lot about Star Wars. Sure Hyperspace calculation takes time but not that much because of Droids. The Empire would use scouting Droids before they jump somewhere into Enemy Space. So fooling them to jump into Stars would only work at max. 3 times. The Interdictor Cruiser would also be used for pooling Ships out of Hyperspace or Warpspeed. Which will disrupt Major trade routes if the Empire finds some. Sure, home advantage for the Federation but it would still be a bloody War. The Empire will lose this War because of the Rebellion so the Ending is good. But Transporter Technology in the Star Wars Galaxy shouldn't be possible, so rebels teleporting into Empire Bases shouldn't be possible. Youself said because of the different laws of Physics in the Star Wars Universe, they didn't develope Transporter Technology so it shouldn't be useable. But I still liked the Scenario.

[@sigea5397]

Firstly cloaking technology in the Star Trek Universe works totally different than anything in Star Wars that barely manages to look like cloak, which defeats your entire point in that there are Imperial ways to defeat cloaked ships, secondly you can pull a ship out of Hyperspace, but you can’t just pull a ship out of Warp and thirdly he meant that Transporters just hadn’t been invented in the Star Wars Universe, there’s nothing to prevent them from working in a Star Wars Universe.

sudden peace in star trek universe, and take away the imperial death star and the force which connects all living things... can´t say that wasn´t biased

[@cosmicmemer1611]

meetasheep there are even more biased scenarios because of the Star Wars Fanboys vote that the empire would win

[@platiuscyndar9017]

hmm, lemme think... star trek has been robbed of weaponry range, sensors capabilities and weaponmry accuracy (yes, they do actually hit from literaly lightseconds reange)- also, the "sudden peace " is the on screen cannon reaction to the last invasion through the bajoran wormhole, which is ACTRUALLY STILL IN EFFECT. THeres no sudden peace, there speace since the dopminion invaded. The death star is a too large and therefore cant possibly travel through the wormhole, would not be deployed in such an endeavor and itsd usefulness would be questionable at best, cannon fodder at worst. If you want to include the force... theres lots of stuff thats gonna f you up then. You see, Q likes humanity and the federation, I'd go so far as to argue he actually made the force useless as the federation itself cant deal with it (it was Q's test afterall.) And if Q makes sopmething useless its useless. No exceptions.

[@Moribax85]

not mentioning that, as stated in this or the other video (i don't remember exactly wich one), the empire is looking to expand to get resources to avoid overtaxing its systems for the construction of the death star, ergo the death star doesn't exist yet

[@jeremyharris2980]

@@platiuscyndar9017 well I have to disagree on q bieng able to influence the force but as far as bringing good like powers into I agree on leaving them out lol oh and before u say q can influence the force the reason I say that's a no is because the force in essence is the force of creations and essentially god in star wars q though nigh omnipotent is not god.

[@platiuscyndar9017]

@@jeremyharris2980 The difference between Q and the force is that Q is a sapient entity, whilst the force is simply a cosmic anomaly. Q can act with guided interest and agency, the force is… well forced by others to do their bidding, far less effectively then it COULD be. Q could probably figure out how to make the force essentially useless with 0 necessity to actually influence the force itself - for instance, he could severely decrease the amount of midichlorians force users carry inside themselves the moment they step through the wormhole.

[@joshuahudson2170]

Wait what how did the empire even make progress? They're trying to fight starships without superluminous weapons. Their turbolasers will essentially never hit because shots can be dodged after being fired.

[@scottbilger9294]

Very well done, sir. A good, solid, believable military campaign.
