Zerg from StarCraft, or their most obvious comparison, Tyranids from Warhammer 40,000 could be interesting parallels to the Vong.

It's letting me ****ing quote atm so I'll just have to respond through a new post.

@Zenwolf I mean, Yautja are already probably one of the most deadly sentient species in the SW universe if they exist.

Anime is overrated Flash and Bang. Anime Fan Boys need to get their heads examined.

I mean sure, they'd be good at hunting and perhaps mercenary work...but they don't have any huge space fleets from what I recall soo they can't really hold any territory.

Space Fleets, but as a species themselves, what they, themselves could do.

I can see them becoming similar to the Vong, in all honesty, maybe not as threatening, but close for damn sure.

As for people saying Saiyans and Namekians... Yeah, you give those guys the force, and everyone is dead, literally everyone.

I don’t think that they can be force sensitives but for the fact that they blow up planets just because they have a fit is impressive.

Maybe the flood, from Halo of course. Though, I guess there are already "zombifing" aliens in star wars, and the Gravemind is basically a space slug, so I honestly don't know

Flood would be pretty crazy in Star Wars due to the speed that they can infect the galaxy. Star Wars is somewhat unique among sci-fantasy in regards to how quickly you can travel around the galaxy (mere days at best to hop from one side of the galaxy to the other, compared to literal years for 40k and months in Halo). Since flood can operate the technology of their hosts, you'd have entire fleets of flood consisting of billions of flood spores hopping around the galaxy. Entire star systems would be going dark within a day.

Tyranids and Zerg on the other hand would be unstoppable on the ground but could feasibly be destroyed in space.

Even a low-class Saiyan warrior (all Saiyans are warriors) is a tiny death star that can also withstand planet-popping attacks and has enough physical strength to punch a hole through a blast door and is fast enough to move at near-relativistic speeds.

There was an entire planet filled with these guys.

I'm not really sure we see an average for Saiyans other than I guess the ones we see in the flashbacks of the Saiyan/Tuffle war. Plus it seems even the low class/average vary, so can we even get an average? I mean Goku had a low power level of 5 and he was considered in that category, yet it seems to me that not all Saiyans are alike when they are born in power level.
Goku was low class in the sense that he was born with a relatively low power level and as such seemed to have relatively low actual talent. He then outgrew that potential and proved to be the mightiest Saiyan in history.

Raditz, by comparison, didn't. Though Raditz wasn't technically low class.

http://www.kanzenshuu.com/translati...yan-special-qa/

Do all Saiyans become combatants?
A baby’s battle power is measured as soon as they are born. If their numbers pass a certain standard, then they are considered upper-level warriors and immediately raised as combatant candidates. On the other hand, those whose numbers remain low even after a certain amount of time has passed are regarded as lower-level warriors, and become either engineers or are sent off to a planet somewhere as “infiltration babies”1. If they grow strong enough to conquer that planet, then they can return to their home world as a combatant. However, infiltration babies do not have a high survival rate. Raditz was an upper-level warrior and assigned to the same group as Nappa as a proper combatant. Before long Vegeta was added to that group, too.

So Raditz was strong enough to be made a warrior instead of being sent to another planet like Goku, but is demonstrably weaker by a far margin than elites like Nappa, Vegeta, King Vegeta, or Bardock.

It is safe to consider him fairly average as far as Saiyan warriors go, especially since they can literally grow fighters almost as strong as him in the Saibamen.

But if Raditz is an upper level, then how is that average? Shouldn't it be something like

Low-level > Average > Upper class > Elite?

But then I kinda stopped trying to figure out DBZ when things started getting retconned and all that, sooo..../shrug

Eh, fine I guess. But again, don't really care much on this to really discuss, just threw my 2 cents in.
