Rebel Alliance versus Revan's Sith Empire

Would they win? How long would they last?

They last as long as they can hide their HQ from Revan.

Assuming this is a space battle, Im fairly sure Revan has it under cover, although Im not sure if he can fight well on land. If this is a battle till extinction my gut goes with Revans Empire.

OMG! Rebel Alliance hide behind death star and quickly go in to hyperspace every time the sith spot them.
And with launching a farmer they will overthrow the whole empire!

Overkill. Rebel Alliance is far weaker than the Sith Empire. Revan tactically crushes the alliance.

I realize Revan was a great leader and strategist, but how powerful was his Empire? The Rebel Alliance has better technology, but I'm sure there is someone with Battle Meditation on Revans Team. How many people were in the Sith Empire?

The Rebel Alliance has a great chance. Things like a Mon Cal crusier(MC80 or above) could easily defeat any ship in Revan's Empire. The Rebel Alliance also probably has more people because they have a greater number of planets. I think the Rebel's can take this do to more resources, better technology, and because of Ackbar(who I think is around Revan's level in tactical skill).

Glentract is right. The Mon Calamari cruisers are superior to any ship in Revan's arsenal. But Revan is one of the uber-lords of tactics. But then again, we have Admiral Ackbar for the Rebels.

Yeesh. I dunno.

Sith Empire takes it. The rebel alliance had trouble with the Empire for crying out loud

With good reason. The Empire's military pwns all others, in Star Wars.

Don't know what kind of ships do Revan's Sith Empire have, but in Revan's time shield generators were so massive that only the biggest capital ships of his time could mount them. They're more likely to have a large number of supraconductor-armored ships to fight the MC80s.

I got the feeling that the numbers used in the old wars were so much larger than the ones used in the trilogys that Revan would win through pure numbers. Did the Rebel alliance or the Republic for that matter have anywhere near the massive size of Revan's fleets?

I would actually say that technology improves over those amount of years..
but with the OT coming first, perceptions are just screwed up.

I don't know though.. I'll just leave it at that.

Rebel Alliance as in...the rebels who had not yet formed a Republic, so hence the rebels who had not even (or maybe had just) destroyed the DSII?

Then I say Revan's Sith by far--space wise anyway.

The Rebels had several thousand ships. Revan has no advantage in numbers. A single Mon Cal(MC80 or above) could take two of the Leviathan, maybe six if it was one of the heavier ones(aka. MC80A and up).

The Rebels also have a huge advantage in the amount of able bodied soliders they have. Remember that the Alliance spans thousands of worlds.

The Rebels also have far greater starfighters. Revan's don't even have proton torpedos or shields, making them easy prey for Rebel ships.

Added with Ackbar's uber tactical skill(which is on the same level as Revan's) and the Alliance defeats him.

TJ, super-conducting armor is far weaker than shields. There is a reason they switched to shields over it.

Also remember that pre-Empire ships had lesser fire rates on their turbolasers. It was Imperial designers that came up with a high speed turbolaser with the same(or on larger ships) greater firepower to former turbolasers. The Rebels copied Imperial technology in their ships, giving the Rebels an advantage 3-1 over any of Revan's ship of equal size, even greater when you count things like the Leviathan being 1/6th the size of Home One(the Rebel flagship).

In result, Revan's Empire is pwned.

Glentract made an excellent point. I'm going with the alliance over Revan

WOW you guys dont Know what your talking abouns ships had a better fire rate then any alliance ship next off reven has an unlimitd amount of soilders he has battle droids

Excuse me. I think you are the one with a lack of knowledge on this matter.
