Republic take this. I doubt the Vong take Coruscant. Luke often wished that he hadn't scrapped the superweapons of the Empire, and the Republic still has many many Star Dreadnoughts from KDY's home fleet.
SDs smaller than the New Republic's Mon Cals or ISDs, though. Less good fighters too.
Also, the Vong still had plenty of forces as-of when they took Coruscant. It's only the massive cost of grabbing that planet that made them begin to suffer logistically.
Stopping them before Coruscant will be really hard.

Yea I don't think the Republic wins. Wasn't that one of the reasons Palpatine created the empire? He didn't think the Republic as currently constituted, was prepared for the outside threat?
I think that's just a popular fan theory. If I'm not mistaken, when the Vong attacked Zonoma Sekot, Vergere arrived and convinced them to withdraw, provided she went with them. Thrawn did come across them later, but I don't think there is any evidence that Palpatine was planning for a potential invasion 25 years down the road.
He'd already had things in the works. If anything, he heard vague rumblings of unknown scope and used it as an excuse that convinced Thrawn.
As Han Solo pointed out, things like the Death Star are less useful against a galactic invasion than a large fleet, especially if a hotshot Coralskipper pilot blows them up.

Nope. The Imperator and the Tector were still around as of the Clone Wars. Venators main batteries were comparable to that of an ISD anyway.
Furthermore even at the height of the Empire there were only about 20,000 ISDs, the rest of the Empire's millions of warships were made up of the varying escort classes. And trust me the Empire has millions of warships considering that in ICS it states the CIS had millions of capital ships engaged in the outer rim seiges.

The CIS was a far larger threat than the Vong, had over a quadrillion battledroids, millions of warships, started with worlds loyal to them in the Core Worlds and still got their invasion of Coruscant repelled.

Why? The only reason the CIS ever struck Coruscant was because Sidious leaked secret hyperspace routes to the core worlds.

The jedi would still have Koon Fisto Mace Kenobi Yoda Anakin ect all people who either died or were force into exile because of the war. These war heros would serve the republic well in the war against the Vong

They would still have a, by that time, full potential Anakin, Luke, and quite possibly a very different Leia. If Anakin was there for his children's birth, it seems likely he would want them both trained. I could see either Obi-Wan or Anakin possibly in charge of the Order, to be honest. By the time of the Vong Invasion, Mace would've been 97 and Obi-Wan would've been 82. Dooku is an example that a jedi can function into his twilight years, but 97 might be pushing it just a bit.
