Note: This is a pretty complicated thread and a large scale battle one. If you don't like it, then perhaps you could just not post in it.
The GFFA and her allies have come close to driving back the Imperial invasion force, and now seek to recapture and liberate Coruscant. Doing so be a decisive victory tactically, strategically, politically and symbolically.
The GFFA, Imperial Remnant, Hapans, NJO and Witches of Dathomir appear out of hyperspace to find themselves meeting a prepared Galactic Empire force.
The GFFA coalition force is led by Ackbar, who is somehow alive again in this scenario.
The Galactic Empire force is led by Tarkin, who again is somehow alive again in this scenario.
Coruscant has the same defenses that it normally has.
The two sides have 48 hours to prepare.
GFFA coalition:
100 Pellaeon-class star destroyers and support ships (star destroyers are carrying ground troops)
50 Hapan dragonqueens
2 super star destroyers
The entire New Jedi Order in Stealth Xs
Rogue Squadron
100 million GAG troops
40 million stormtroopers
10 million Hapan commandos
1000 Witches of Dathomir
2 million recommissioned AT-TEs
2 million recommissioned LAATs
100 Imperial Knights
50 million insurgents
Galactic Empire:
1 space station
The Eclipse
The Death Star 1 without the superlaser
80 star destroyers and support ships
Darth Vader
100 royal guards
50 shadow guards
1 million shadow commandos
120 million stormtroopers
10 million purge troopers
1 million AT-ATs
20 ion cannons
1000 ground based turbolasers
2 million AT-AAs

Even without its superlaser, the Death Star has a ridiculously large amount of turbolasers and such. Oh, and actually, the ramming idea might not be such a bad idea.

Why? Because Luke can take on the Empire (I presume this is the Empire, or is that why Palpatine wasn't mentioned? Boy would I feel like an ass) on his own?
GTFO. I said that Luke + the Council could assassinate Sidious, not take on the entire Empire. There's a VERY big difference. The person that assassinated Lincoln took out the president but not the entire army. If I really am as wrong as you think I am and if you really are the uber debater that you think you are, then you shouldn't have to LIE to make a point.

GFFA wins due to their retardedly huge numerical advantage, including twice as many, superior ships, the entire NJO in ships which the Empire have no way of detecting or fighting, (while the Empire just has Vader and some Shadow guards) and almost twice as many groundtroops.
This is Spite.
Plus the GFFA actually has a competant tactition.

My opinion:
The GFFA will have the advantage in the space battle in most aspects. Although the Death Star even without its superlaser could inflict heavy damage on GFFA forces, the Jedi Stealth Xs combined with Rogue Squadron could bring the Death Star down just like how it was brought down in ANH. The Galactic Empire does have access to 20 ion cannons in this fight, but sabotage though spies and/or infiltration teams could take the ion cannons out, and the GFFA fleet would likely be able to engage at distances beyond that of the ion cannon range. The ground based turbolasers may do damage but the GFFA would have enough advantages to get past that. The GFFA will likely sustain moderate casualties but will manage to get through the space defenses.
At this point, the planetary shield will prevent orbital bombardment, so the GFFA would have to proceed with a ground assault. The GFFA does indeed outnumber the Imperial forces in this battle, but the Imperials have the advantage of defensive positions. If they can locate and capture/eliminate Tarkin, that could cripple the Empire's command structure, but to do so may be difficult as Tarkin would likely hide in a fortified bunker. To my knowledge Luke Skywalker does indeed know Battle Meditation, so that could be helpful for the GFFA. With the advantage in space, the GFFA could deploy their troops with greater mobility than the Imperials can, singling out and taking key cities and such before the Imperials, who will have to defend multiple positions, can react. Ackbar is also a superior tactician/strategist compared to Tarkin.
GFFA probably wins, but it's likely to be close.

But guys, this is a serious thread. It's a different type of thread, not a small scale one but a large scale one.

um.. HWKA: You gave your first faction a RIDICULOUS numerical advantage in both ships an personal. You then gave that same faction the entire Jedi Order, and superior tech. You took away the laser of the death star. The best sith for the Empire is Vader......
