All out

Battle takes place in Aruk's Cantina

Hm, a Cantina will cut the range down.

Do the Sith *know* about the Vong's lack of force presence? If they don't, they're likely to lose one or two just by surprise at that, which gives the Vong a nice advantage. If they do know, I think they should win-with-casualties.

Vong easily.

The Sith do have the advantage of lightning, which can affect Vong iirc.

On the flip side, the Vong have their thud bugs for range (razor, etc.), and being set in a Catina, it's likely to be a mostly melee fight anyway.

Plus the lightning of random warriors is weak, and reduced more due to vong force resistance. Do some damage, sure, but it's not as telling as usual.

Sure, but even weak lightning is something that ****s you up something fierce.

I don't recall because it's been a while but how did regular force lightning affect the Vong? The sith don't have Luke's Emerald Lightning.

Didn't Jacen go nuts and kill a bunch of them with it at one point?

Well, Krayt killed a ship full of them without weapons, so yea, lightning can work, but Krayt or Jacen's lightning >>> random sith warrior's.

Remember, this lot doesn't care much about pain. If you're just giving them some burns (between the reduction and the armor, fairly likely), it'll slow 'em down a little but not stop them.

Pretty sure any form of Lightning is both hard to conjure and extremely painful to feel. Even with insulating armor.

That brings the point that warriors may not have it at all. There have been the occasional weak force user with weak lightning (Dark Empire Dark Adepts, for example), but it is true a lot of average sith don't have it.


And, well, Vong don't mind pain much. Pain alone won't stop them.

Actually they were immune to Jacen's lightning, he collapsed ceiling instead.
It was later contradicted by Jaina killing a Vong with lightning.
It was again contradicted when Jacen deliberately used disabling version of lightning on Vong because he did not want to kill them with it.
More sources show that lightning does work, so yeah, that's their best shot.

Sith of what caliber are being considered in this thread?

If these Sith are graduates, they can take Vong.

Yeah... but it would probably just give the Vong an orgasm more than anything else.

Which would be the perfect time to stab them with ole laser sword.

This really isn't a debate, though. The Vong's armor is lightsaber-proof, their weapons are exotic and unorthodox, and they're resistant to the Force. And these five in particular are elite warriors, not just the run of the mill soldiers. Worst case scenario they have one or two casualties.

@SWlegene the TOR sith are whatever rank/specialization that the warriors were that attacked Coruscant with Malgus and Adraas

That definitely evens things. Those sith were among the best in the Order.

I'm not saying the Sith will win. I'm just going to ask when the enemy doesn't have most of these things? Aside from Force Resistance, that is.

Armor of that level and weapons that unusual are pretty rare in SW. I guess the odd Mandalorian has something similar, but even then only a few elites have lightsaber-resistant armor.
