[@jojogh10]

I think the Old Republic, Sith Empire and Eternal Empire together could easily defeat the Vong, yeah, easily is relative here but, these three factions were strong on their own, and together, I think it would be extremely hard to defeat that.

[@z3r0_35]

Even a few years before the events of Episode 1 there were some powerful militarized factions out there. The Trade Federation’s “Security Forces” come to mind; true, their droids weren’t as advanced or as numerous as what they’d have a decade later, but they could still churn out a LOT of droids, and as long as they protect their control ships, they can coordinate their operations on a level impossible for non-force sensitives to match (and the Vong as a whole are cut off from the Force). You can bet your ass that the moment an extragalactic invasion happened, all restrictions on militarization would be lifted. The only real drawbacks here are that the Republic would need time to build up their forces and, more crucially, no clones.

[@lenkagamine4145]

@@z3r0_35 Vong are coordinated by a Yammosk so they can coordinate at least as well. The trade federations droids would be curbstomped by Vong warriors honestly, even in absolutely massive numbers.

[@z3r0_35]

@@lenkagamine4145 Still, remember, the Trade Federation can build more battle droids. The Vong can’t replace slain warriors in a timely manner, they’re on the clock - they have to conquer the galaxy before their losses reach critical mass or they lose pretty much by default once the galaxy fully mobilizes in response. Of course, they know this, which was why they had Nom Anor and their other agents sabotaging their adversaries before the opening of hostilities.

[@lenkagamine4145]

@@z3r0_35 I'm not really super sure about this. IRL in wartime there is usually a continuous flow of new people joining the armed forces because new people come of age over time, its not like they just started making more vong after they invaded; there are already vong growing up when they invade. So, I mean, obviously the trade federation can produce droids faster, but the vong are going to be replenishing their losses as each year they have more vong come of age and be ready for battle. Though I will give it this, the caste-based system does restrict how many new soldiers they can realistically produce since they cant really give over their whole society to military production. Regardless, the Vong move with alot of momentum, I think it would be very difficult for the CIS to bog them down in a war of attrition (a war the vong would certainly lose), the Vong are highly capable of a galaxy-wide 'blitzkrieg' style invasion, and would presumably target the CIS to the exclusion of all others due to their droids. I imagine they would immediately make a bee-line for the droid manufactorums, not only for strategic reasons but religious ones as well.

[@nickmalachai2227]

2:40 I'd argue that having a decentralized defense focused on wealthier planets would be easier for the Vong to take. What does Kuat care if some Outer Rim worlds are subsumed by a Vong army seeking to replinish their ranks? By the time the threat is taken seriously enough and a military is bought/raised, the Vong would already have a decent foothold.

[@CedarHunt]

I gotta say that I think you're vastly overestimating the power of the planetary defense forces from the pre-clone wars era. Some might have been able to stand for a short time like the forces of Umbara or the Wookies but we know from the clone wars that most of the PDF units that existed were largely ceremonial and lacked ships or even meaningful numbers to resist a Vong invasion. A decentralized command structure really just means that you can't coordinate troops and resources effectively and the vong would be more than capable of crushing any system they came across. It would take time to build up a military force capable of resisting the vong and while that is being built the vong would be free to rampage across the outer and mid rim and maybe even the core.

[@aidenharrison9613]

Yep, the Jedi would have been fighting the war pretty much alone. The Republic would fall.

[@Kolonol1]

I completely agree with this

[@ocadioan]

Agree. Even if the PDF's could be useful combined, which PDF would leave its own planet completely defenceless to go help out on the other side of the galaxy? It would be a slaughter of a million small battles. Also, his comments about "they have jedi" seems to miss the point that jedi can't do anything in space combat. They are as much sitting ducks in the starship as the cook.

[@CedarHunt]

There is also the issue of conflicting doctrines and objectives: each individual government/military would have their own equipment and tactics and, like ocadioan said, many would be unwilling to weaken their own defenses to come to the aid of their neighbors or ship troops to defend a far off planet. The Vong on the other hand were fully militarized, unified and had no interest in specific planets, they just needed territory and had the ability to terraform planets to suit their needs. So when they came across a heavily defended world they could just drop a moon on it or pull the planet apart with dovin basals. The biggest weakness for the Vong is their lack of immediate infrastructure and the age of their ships. They'd need to settle hard and fast and begin to build up a support system as quickly as possible in the territory they grabbed. Given a few years to run roughshod over the outer and mid rim, by the time the republic built up forces and equipment to respond, the Vong would be capable of digging in fairly deep. It would be an arms race assuming that the Republic didn't immediately collapse from the panic as member planets started dropping like flies and the Republic struggled to find a way to counter the invasion of an entire quadrant of the galaxy.

[@jasonibbs]

@@CedarHunt that was pretty much the problem The New Republic almost faced in the early days of the invasion. The Yuzahn Vong had already been scouting and planning the invasion for decades. In fact the first planet they came to, they were suprised to find it inhabited as previous visit before showed no life. The plan was to take over multiple planets in the outer rim for colonization and building up their forces before moving on to the rest of the galaxy. Under the New Republic there was much more exploration and expansion than under the empire or even Old Republic. Not to mention the first attacks were unauthorized by a semi renegade faction of the Vong. These two things taken together; being discovered earlier than planned, and engaging combat and showing their capabilities before they were fully ready for invasion were the biggest factors in giving the galaxy a chance to fight back. Had they arrived at any point earlier, and had time to fully prepare their forces, the galaxy would have been hard pressed at any period to hold them off.

The best time would have been the pre-clone wars. Hear me out, yes there was a better distribution of military forces, but each one had their own agenda, or rather the protection of themselves over the rest of the galaxy, which would have made many of them stand down unless directly threatened. The clone wars, or rather mid clone wars would have been the worst time of all to invade. Sure the republic had lost officers and Jedi, but the ones left had become hardier and more accustomed to front war tactics. meanwhile the CIS had gone through it’s own evolution, upgrading B1 program slightly, ramping up B2 production, creating some dangerous toys, and also gained experience themselves, most particularly in ambush or sneak attacks as they often liked to do, instead of frontline warfare. This would have created an unusual yet effective hybrid force, with the centralized republic Forces capable of taking the Vong head on, or rather in a slow bulldozing tactic, while the decentralized CIS could focus more on ambush, quick invasion tactics that only their factories could sustain. The best part is that even if you flip the script and put the CIS in bulldozing and the Republic in guerilla style, it still works, because then the Republic can focus on training and deploying commandos while the CIS could focus on massive and I mean MASSIVE offensive production, due to now being allied with the republic, means they once again have unrestricted access to most areas they could effectively deploy their droids. Same thing could be said, or rather works best, with their space forces. The Republic Venator can focus on being a support ship for lukrehulks, providing clone ingenuity to direct droid star fighter numbers and become a true force to be reckoned with.

[@MrMarinus18]

Right in the middle of the clone wars also meant all the military infrastructure is already there. The reason the Vong were so successful was because there wasn't that much of a military to oppose them and by the time that military was up and running they had already conquered half the galaxy. In the clone wars with Kamino pumping out clones by the hundreds a day and droid factories making thousands a day and all the shipyards in full operation the CIS and Republic would have just turned their guns around and united against the common enemy.

[@AaronSarg]

Outside of Nom Anor, sending signals who knows how long it would take to get to the fleet in the void, the Vong was on it's way and came when they did. Being in intergalactic space for generations, I am sure they were itching to get there as fast as they could. Part of Outbound Flight was to investigate the "Outsiders" and another reason Thrawn was so important to the Emperor.

[@bizmasterTheSlav]

I believe that Palpatine's Empire was created specifically to prepare for the invasion of Yuuzhan-Vong. And the Death Star would be super useful to fight the intergalactic invaders. Also giant fleet with militarized and organized economy would also help.

[@MrMarinus18]

2:30 It would allow the Vong to conquer the galaxy though if a little more slowly. Without a central force no planet can really challenge them. This divided force cost the republic dearly during the opening stages of the great galactic war. It meant the empire could just overpower local defense forces with relative impunity since they never had to fear overexention or a rear attack. It wasn't really until the forces became more united and attack with a large fleet capable of obliterating small imperial units that they started to see victory. In the opening stages the only real opposition was the republic fleet so they had to do elaborate schemes to trap them.

[@vitorkennedy1862]

vitor kennedy the Rakata would annihilate them. You must remember The Rakata never lost a war (lost the Invasion of Korriban). They honestly coulda glassed it but it woulda been a waste of Dark Side energy for later use. Plus Soa, The Infernal One would conquer it eventually and fall to his brothers hands; though it is repeated in lore it took half the Infinite Empire to defeat and imprison him on Belsavis. But if Soa had not been consumed by his ego, he could have possibly prevented the fall of the Infinite Empire. But anyways "I" so far only know that the Rakata were defeated by a possibly celestial Disease and the Sith race.

[@coreymicallef365]

Not accounting for any difference in technological advances the Eternal Empire probably would have been similarly effective as the Galactic Empire minus superweapons plus who knows how many force users. They controlled almost all of the galaxy and the galaxy was pretty militarised at that time. The Rakata wouldn't have stood a chance. Sure they had the Star Forge and maybe they can crew and maintain all of the ships it produces, maybe and who knows if that's enough, but they're dead in terms ground warfare because there just isn't enough of them to keep up the war effort even if they drafted slaves into their war effort. The entire population of the Infinite Empire was slightly over a trillion at it's peak (1 trillion slaves, 10 billion Rakatans) across 500 or so worlds, that's less than just Coruscant on its own. The Vong inflicted 300 trillion casualties during the war devastating thousands if not millions of worlds and it took the resources of a much more heavily developed and heavily populated galaxy to contain them, wear them down and drive them back. The Rakata wouldn't have survived the initial Vong assault.

[@jasonibbs]

The question shouldnt be so.much Which era would have survived, as which would survive if the pre-invasion had gone as planned. The Vong had agents and scouts in the galaxy for decades prior to the invasion. The agents were to sow dissension between planets and cause brush wars between neighboring planets to prevent a united front, which may not have been as effective during the height of the empire but very effective under other eras. Also to send intelligence back regarding possible allies, defense setups and capabilities. The scouts were sent to identify uninhabited planets on the invasion corridor suitable for terra forming to Vong specifications for troop and weapons development. The two problems they ran into was that first; a renegade faction grew impatient and wanted to become more prominent within the Vong and decided to invade early. One of the first planets they came to was previously uninhabited but a recently arrived survey team encountered them and their going quiet prompted investigation. That led to the second problem, since they were discovered they pressed their current advantage of numbers and tech superiority in the area. The New Republic and Jedi responded quicker than expected and since the Vong force wasnt part of the warrior caste they werent as preparred for the battle as they thought and were beaten back. From this, the Jedi and military were able to get a measure of what they were up against and began making preparations to stand against them even without full government support. This caused the rest of the incoming invasion to accelerate their plans and were less prepared for the opposition they would run into and their agents were less effective given the new timeline.

[@rudolphantler6309]

Interesting!

[@adams13245]

Would anti government agents be less effective against the Empire? I feel like most commentators on this simply assume the Empire would automatically terrify the populace into following them, when that's not necessarily true. Yes, the Yuuzhan Vong are theocratic technophobe sadomasochists, but it's not like they're gonna tell the new recruits; "Here's a pain glove for your meditation. Make sure ot use it every week, or else." Nom Anor was able to get a sizeable chunk of the population joining the Peace Brigades from the much less oppressive New Republic, why wouldn't he be able to do so with the Empire? It seems like there is an assumption that Palpatine's government would be utterly unfazed by Yuuzhan Vong spies and provocateurs and I don't think that's necessarily true.

The Vong pose a serious threat to all of the factions and time periods in Star Wars. The Empire would probably be able to win, but the rest of them are at a serious tech and organizational disadvantage. Planetary Fleets would not be able to stop the Vong. Pretty much all Pre- Empire fleets are woefully under powered. The Vong are not of the Star Wars home galaxy and taking them lightly is what almost cratered the galaxy. Even the Empire was prone to destabilization and the Vong were masters at that. If Palpatine and the Chiss were afraid of the Vong then everyone else should be too. Everyone seriously low-balls the Vong. They fought and defeated the New Republic ( not the Galactic Alliance) which was of a higher tech level than even the Empire and were only defeated by a galaxy wide coalition AFTER countermeasures had been developed for all the Vong's tactics and their secrets had been discovered. Oh, and everybody talks about how the CIS would wreck the Vong, but do you really want to see galaxy wide Serpidal/ Vector Prime moon smashing anti- machine rage?

[@adams13245]

I think a lot of people ignore that Palpatine's tyrannical government would act as a field day for infiltrators, such as Nom Anor. You want people pissed at the government and looking for change, who don't particularly care where it comes from? See Kashyyk where the wookiees were enslaved and handed off to their trandoshen rivals. They would've probably seen any one who offered an alternative to the empire as someone to at least hear out. That Nom Anor could work with the populace of the much less openly evil New Republic indicates he was skilled in getting people to hear him, even coming from a theocratic society that worships pain. I imagine the many aliens under the Empire's boot would think they don't have much to loose from the new boss, and the pain stuff is less of a problem then one might think- after all the empire loves inflicting pain on people!

[@samspeed6271]

Firstly, congratulations on getting married. Secondly, the video, I agree with your analysis. Just after Palpatine 2.0 has been bumped off and Byss has been blown up, straight after Shadow Hand has failed and all the Dark Empire stuff would've been the best time to invade. Both the Empire and the New Republic are on their knees, having lost a lot of personnel and ships in the war.

Congratulations for the wedding. BTW I love how in books one Imperial remnant officer says that Empire would be able to handle the Yuuzhan Vong better than New Republic to which I think it was Han who responded that Empire would have wasted resources building superweapons that would not even work as intended in field while worlds burned. That said, even Vedge said that he will hit the Yuuzhan Vong with the enemy they never had the displeasure of fighting, The Empire. And sent SSD to the fight. So overall I think military leadership would be more effective in Empire, their disregard for population would devastate the galaxy more than what New Republic managed, perhaps even crippling the galactic trade and society.

[@adams13245]

What do you think about Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators and spies? I'd imagine they'd have an easier time getting people to rebel against the already oppressive Empire. That they managed to get the Peace Brigades going against the New Republic indicates they were able to turn people against a much less openly evil government

[@Kalenz1234]

Pre clonewars would definitely be one of the best times to invade. Many planets had no defences to speak off. Even planets like Naboo which had a standing army and navy couldn't compete at all with a serious military power. Most systems had only enough ships to stave off pirate attacks. The individual powerful fleets like Kuat, the Trade Federation etc. certainly could protect their own systems but there would be no cooperation between those factions. They would become isolated pockets of resistance, while the Yuuzhan Vong take over most of the galaxy and most importantly take control of hyperspace lanes, therefore not only crippling the galactic trading but outright killing it. Kuat may have infrastructure for ship production but how much food do they produce within their own system? The Yuuzhan Vong would conquer most of the galaxy in a blitz while encircling those pockets of resistance. Then they can besiege the larger ones while they prepare invasion forces to take out the weaker fleets of any resisting systems. Unless the galactic senate manages to quickly unite under a supreme chancellor with granted emergency powers (like during the clone wars) they would be unable to defeat the Yuuzhan Vong.

[@darkbooger]

Humanity would have a cutting edge over the Covenant in any battles those ships were in since humans actually used their brains when learning about alien technology(and not start a Holy War). But the odds of people actually using them are not very good since Forerunner language is still being translated even after the Human-Covenant war, so odds are that ONI would start studying them and implementing technology into their own ships like how the Infinity uses Forerunner slipspace drives. At the very least, humanity may gain an edge in slipspace navigation over the Covenant as well as energy shielding, hard light guns are a stretch considering the technological and power requirements making ballistic weapons more viable. Had they had this kind of technology at their disposal, humanity would never have lost Reach so easily nor would the Covenant have been able to touch down on Earth when they showed up looking for the Ark. Master Chief and the other spartan II's wouldn't have to deal with all the ground troops like we saw in the games and the books.

[@_spooT]

nothing. they wouldn't use it in the first place since the technology on those things have already been breached by the flood. after the human covenant war, the return of the flood was their main problem. it would also be pointless to use the technology or at least copy the technology on board against small forerunner skirmishes since 1) they built that thing in the first place, 2) those are already outdated compared to the more advanced forerunners we see today, 3) the flood would easily manipulate it since they're already familiar with the technology compared to the UNSC's current vessels

Here another fact which more clones wars They were more versatile in the use of the Force. Especially the 3rd Jedi form of use of the Force, called Alter. Where through sheer will and levels of consciousness a Jedi could basically use the same abilities of a Sith, but without falling to the Dark Side. Learning to maintain a balance between the Light and the Dark. so pretty hundreds of thousands of force users but in jedi there more 50k+ much much more and same sith and all empires too many hundreds of thousands and each one did every sith did but without failing dark side uses things force crush and force status which another force lighting and force choke... which jedi using that to crush someone only robots the jedi in old republic did because war none stop legit warriors.. all force sentive warriors.. even younglins damn warriors...

Something you also didn't mention about the pre clone wars era was the fact that the clone arm already existed and so did some of the capital ships like Venators and the company that produced them and the CIS droid factories already existed and when pairs with the although slightly incompetent yet numerous Jedi and as the last trump card the sheer force powers Palpitine wielded would have literally meant that there was a massive military force both of technological and its benefits and the biological clone benefits and the sheer strength of a massive all-powerful force wielding Palpitine superweapon.

[@ConCorDian2210]

As I see suggested already, immediately after the clone wars would have been the best point for the Vong in my opinion. Palpatine had control yes but not absolute like he would in years to come. There is no real working superweapons yet like the deathstar, world devs etc. The empire was essentially running Venator and by this point Victory class, the would have had Mandator dreadnaughts yes but nothing like the empire would have later. CiS was dismantled and I'll confess I dont know how easy it would have been for Palpatine to reactivate their droid army to help fight. Obviously the jedi is essentially destroyed and for all they had an element of fear in Palpatine at this point in time he wasnt really at his peak yet. Neither had his new empire had the chance to really take dominance either

No way the pre-Clone Wars, post-Ruusan Reformation Republic would survive. Not enough capital ships, bad fighters, limits on weapons, size, etc. No proper army, local militaries (that would probably focus on defending themselves)... The decentralized command would generate caos, with a lack of coordination, and fights over what to do and who should lead. No developed military hardware. The Jedi were peacekeepers, not soldiers, like Windu says. They weren't used to fighting high-skill opponents and big battles, like demonstrated during the Clone Wars. Besides, their Force powers would be useless against the Vong. No space superiority, no land superiority, fractured military forces with stronger local loyalties than to the Republic, nonexistent centralized command, weak chancellorship, squabbling and bureaucratic Senate, inexperienced Jedi, light equipment, no recent galactic experience on large scale conflict, no Force advantage, no superweapons, undeveloped military-industrial complex, large and powerful criminal factions, deep divisions between the population and regions... I actually think that might be the very worst moment (for the galaxy) for the Vong to invade.

The old republic era because it had two actual determined armies (republic and old sith) as opposed to the clone wars which only bulit an clone army to fight a war thats so stupid and droid armies that have no free thought nor are they really that smart but the old republic had twoarmies that were filled with war veterans and actual self thinking fleet commanders and ground commanders which is crucial in a war. Also the republic had its cloning base on kamino and all the vong have to do is take kamino out and boom the republic is left without any future reinforcements and the CIS had droid production facilities which once again, if taken out leave the CIS without fresh troops and reinforcements plus both armies are expensive to keep building and outfitting new troops.

The Empire lost both Death Stars to basically a few fighters with torpedoes, and the Vong were at least as clever and skilled as the Rebels. When it came down to it, technology and ships were not enough. The crucial element to the NR's victory was the Jedi, a resource the Empire just can't match.
