Galactic Empire vs. United Federation of Planets

It's rather nonsensical to claim that phasers would destroy TIE Fighters based on the fact that TIEs are unshielded.

They may be unshielded, but they are armored. Of course, this armor has little to no protection against the ungodly powerful turbolasers and starfighter lasers of the Star Wars universe but...

Phasers? Haven't we already proven that phasers are by far inferior to Star Wars weaponry? I'll rely on the more-scientifically-minded of the forum to state their proof again, if they wish.

That and the TIE's reputation as being maneuverable and hard-to-hit makes the phaser point rather moot.

Really, it's been demonstrated in Star Trek episodes that Federation troops (Which are picked straight ouy of the Starfleet (Read: navy and only armed branch of the Federation forces) has lost a battle where an enemy charged them and was bottlenecked, yet the Feds lost. Their phasers (Handheld and otherwise) can't sustain fire to hold a position versus regular troops... what the hell makes you think they could last against armoed vehicles? Does the Federation have even ONE armoed vehicle or artillery device?

Phasers-3 set to the maximum setting can vaporize 3,000 tons of solid iron. The Federation can field millions of those ensigns. Since the AT-AT's cannons can only fragment the anti-infantry and the anti-vehicle turrets, one can wonder if Federation infantry can actually destroy these.

TIE fighters are unshielded, phasers-1 can destroy these quite easily. [/B]

Woah. And again. There is evidence that metals in the SW universe can thousands of times the physical stress that steel can take. That means they have a higher density. Which would again mean that the are more dificult to melt or vaporize. At least SW's own weapons can't destroy the armour of an AT-AT and they have a greater firepower than every Phaser known.

So it's simply stupid to assume that Phasers would be able to destroy AT-AT's or to destroy TIE-Fighters. Period.

And even if they can it won't matter. The Empire would simply annihilated Federation troops by blasting their planets away.

The Empire is more likely to have the Federation worlds untouched.

In a flat out annihilation war? Considerinng the GE was willing to use it on THEIR OWN PLANETS, what makes you think that the GE won't use it on UFP planets?

Fanboyism, obviously. Fanboys are so annoying. I never realized how many people denied reason until I came here.

If you think this is bad, check out the comic book versus forums.

I used to. Now I just go to the Games Versus Forum to see reason spit upon by Goku/Ryu/Wolverine/Master Chief fanboys.

Damn. Forgot him. Add him in.

The Federation folks respect more the Jedi principles than Jedi do in the movies, comics and books. At least, apparently.

But the Empire doesn't have the coordinates of any Federation world. How'd they get them?

As to why the Empire wants the Federation worlds intact, it's because some Federation planets might have interesting natural resources to put to use.

Oh sure. Because the Empire is always lacking natural resources, right? I'm sure they made those Death Stars and Imperial fleets out of pine tar and balsa wood, since they didn't have the resources to do otherwise.

Please, it'd be total war. The Empire wouldn't even show the restraint and leniency it granted to the Rebellion.

That and what makes you think the Federation would know jack about where the Empire's worlds are?

They can track back travel routes of Federation ships. No big deal. And considering the fact that they have some force users they could simply get coordinates out of some captured Federation captains mind.

And how would the Federation get coordinates of the Empires worlds - not that they would be able to do something with them since they would be outclassed in every kind of space battle.

Considering the fact that the Empire had better materials than the Federation and (considering the size of the Empires fleet) even more of them - why should they leave Federation worlds intact ? Even if the want to they can still glass the surface and thereby annihilate whatever is down there (including Federation Troops).

I'd let YOU argue over that. Janick out.

What? Are you some sort of retard?

About as smart as my discolored, flaky toenail,

Careful there, you might have an infection.

I hate that ad. It's almost as bas as the one that goes "OUCH!" at one in the morning while listening to music.

I hate every add. How do they know I have irritation around my genitals? zOMG!
