GE could potentially just wipe out planets or solar systems with its crazy-ass superweapons and entire fleets with Sidious, but is hopelessly outnumbered in terms of navy and heroic troops.I'd say its a pyrrhic victory for the team.
True, the Death Star and Sun Crusher could pose quite a threat, although they both seem to have obvious weaknesses (or at least the Death Star).

So who is willing to make an argument for GE or the team?
Did you miss my post? The only real advantage the GE is, it's superweapons which have been defeated by the rebels/early new republic. Do they have all their superweapons from all different time periods? ex. ANH death star and DE galaxy gun?

This is GE at it's peak during the OT.
Actually, I'm not sure...

Well you added the GFFA and Krayt's sith/galactic empire which have superior technology and not to mention all of the one sith Krayt brings to the table.
Eh, yes and no. Technology has likely improved and even a couple of years after Palpatine's death, there were military overhauls that saw enormous reduction in manpower and greater efficiency on ships. However, I'm not certain that Krayt's Empire has anything that is militarily more lethal than anything Palpatine has. For example, the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer is the most powerful ship at Krayt's disposal, and it's no match for anything like a Super Star Destroyer or (God help everyone) the Eclipse.
Palpatine and Tarkin have a metric shitton of ridiculously capable superweapons that none of the factions can compete with in terms of destructive capability. IIRC, Daala whipped out one of Tarkin's old toys against Caedus after Pellaeon was killed and it was some sort of laser beam that obliterated ship after ship after ship after ship.
And she had, like, three vessels.
Not that it matters. The Confederacy fielded two Malevolence-class destroyers, "millions of warships" (Complete Cross Sections, and a quintillion (or quadrillion?) droids. Not to mention they have a psychotic general who isn't particular about using biological warfare.
The Republic is, according to the Clone Wars Campaign Guide, for all purposes militarily equal to the Confederacy, though presumably not nearly as large. But the quality of their ships and resources are much, much higher.
The Rebellion has some particularly handy resources, which includes the Bothan Spynet.
The Yuuzhan Vong's dovin basals, ground troops, and ships are pretty impressive.
And the Galactic Alliance is a less militarized version of the Empire proper.
In all seriousness, none of these factions are as militarily impressive. Palpatine's Empire was referred to as an "unprecedented" military build up and "the largest military in history." Particularly the Good Guys, which includes the Alliance, are relatively downgraded.
But this is spite.
Krayt and his empire wins. pretty easily.
But if its like Caedus vs. Krayt, I think Caedus wins. (younger, more powerful, more tolerant to pain, gets more hyped as more pain is inflicted on him, mastery of force powers, uber lightning) well not as uber as palpy, muur, or bane.
Krayt= armor, half crazy, obssesed about Cade and his healing powers, failed to notice that his apprentice would take over his rule (he is old, sick, consumed by armor, weak etc)
Although he survived Muur's attack and the fall. Can't take lightsaber wounds as well as Caedus. (Azyln Rae stabbed him and he was distracted for enough time to be electrocuted)
Caedus on the other hand isn't affected by the loss of an arm, lightsaber stabs in the kidney, and still managed to hold his own when sneaked up on (by Luke).
OK wait. GE is the Caedus era right?.. lol
ok wow i just rambled on about some random stuff. anyways..
back to the topic, I still think Krayt wins. He has his sith, hands(people hands ie Mara Jade type of thing, not physical hands), superior technology, etc.
Also: Different weapons like living YV stuff. that the empire has never seen before. While the YV are used to fighting the Jedi and Republic by now, so they have more experience.
plz disregard what i posted earlier. It was total random crap and I didn't know what I was talking about or what this thread was about. lol
