The Galactic Empire's greatest challenge?

The "others'" fleet? Then they still have their beloved SF to fall back upon. But I already covered that...

And i'm sure that the Jedi Council in the Kotor Era that knew Miraklu and were probably in good terms with them wouldn't have thought of that...

Obviously that doesn't work.

Wedge actually stated in one of the books that all the planets that would go one way or the other by diplomacy had done so. The Empire got so many planets by taking the Outer Rim and places like that. Also note that the Empire had the Deep Core, which was unexplored by previous governments. The Deep Core had a huge number of planets because it was so dense planet-wise. Added to that is the Unknown Regions which Thrawn conquered a lot of.

Force users really don't matter much. We've seen how badly they can be pwned by regular troopers.

pwnshnizzled you mean.

ROTS really isn't an indication they were shot in the back. During the Mandelorian wars they made a huge difference.. And glentract Revan was in the unknown regions as well... Who knows what he coqnuered there..

Yes, but they could always play keep away with the Empire and tactical geniuses like Revan and Ackbar could think of a way to keep it from being destroyed.

YEah, give Thrawn a finger painting Revan made when he was five and Thrawn'll own him

That's right? Who does know? Note the the Unknown Regions were bigger back then. Places like Hapes was unknown(it didn't exist yet), as was much of the Hutt Empire and all of the Chiss Regions. Also note that Nihilus was in the Unkown Regions too. They must have been a lot bigger back then.

Hapes was well known. By then it certainly existed. The Hutt Empire is clearly doing fine, and the Chiss have never been conquered in their history.

Nah, the Hapes weren't formed until a thousand years after KOTOR.

Untrue. After Arca and his men killed the Lorell Raider pirates, the freed women formed Hapes shortly thereafter

The New Essential Guide to Chronolgy indicates that it didn't officaly exist as a nation until circa 3600 B.B.Y.

Official nation or no, it was still around according to Ta'A chume

I looked up that quote for you, Nihilus wasn't in the unknown regions he was at the border of the unknown regions and the outer rim, Visas does not say he was really in the unknown regions.

Oh, my bad.

I'm not sure, i'll have to look through my book with Kotor quotes again, but seeing as Visas said he didn't its pretty obvious to assume that Kreia didn't say it either..

Seriously. Revan's Sith empire could take this alone.

The Galactic empire would be overwhelmed.

LOL.

Nebaris, right?

Just to humor myself, I'm going to state the obvious and inform you that there is no single entity (and likely no realistic conglomerate of entities) who can match the Galactic Empire on an even footing, militarily.

Well if the SF can use the rebals technology and create better ships, then I'd say that Revan would be smart enough to get the original Death Star plans and create his own death star.

Then he could get a few bothans to find plans to the sun crusher and create his own, granted it would take a while to build.
