I think you missed the point. You can't just claim "stamina" when facing multiple opponents. My examples denote lightsaber/force superiority. If you want to add speed/stamina into that equation sure, but those two attributes come from lightsaber/force superiority.
Obviously there's superiority. I argue it for the Exile on a regular basis. I'm just saying that there's a point where this superiority plateaus and it's mostly stamina doing the work from then on.
And more reliable sources disagree.

I own the Encyclopedia, so I can correct myself or check something if you give me a quote. And the codex entries can be accessed online.
And I've finished Inquisitor, but that was long ago. Still, even checking through Ant's RT invalidates Khem's claim, since Khem himself was fighting alongside Hord to conquer the Jedi army. There's also a quote about Hord leading an army into battle, unless it refers to the other one.

More reliable because it's third-person and objective. I mean TOR's codex entries and the Encyclopedia. Yeah, more reliable than Kiss-ass Val.
You can't really argue that because you can't quantify stamina in any theoretical debate.
You can't quantify the level of skill involved either, so we're at an impasse.

Chabosh is the battle where Khem and his army fought with him. Yn was a siege that Hord broke single-handedly.
The Encyclopedia only says Khem consumed dead Jedi at Yn. The codex says Hord ate the power of Jedi at Yn and Chabosh and that he fought at them. It does say he used an army of dark side warriors in battle but nothing about specific battles.

Depends on who Jaina's talking about.
For the quotes:
One of Khem Val's proudest victories came during the Battle of Chabosh, where he fought by Tulak Hord's side to conqueror an army of Jedi 1,000 strong.-- The Old Republic Encyclopedia
Of the many who challenged his might, none were successful. Among Hord’s greatest triumphs were the battles of Yn and Chabosh. With an army of dark side warriors and his faithful Dashade assassin at his side, he annihilated the rebels who defied the expansion of the Sith Empire and went on to conquer the Dromund system–setting the stage for Dromund Kaas to eventually become capital of the Empire.-- The Old Republic Codex: Tomb of Tulak Hord
Khem fought alongside him, and the army of dark side warriors, unless they were just watching, would've also been involved.
Of course we can. We know Palpatine was superior to the B team in the force and in saber abilities. There's nothing to quantify there. Stamina requires quantification on any level.
Yeah, cuz he blitzed. Prove that Hord destroyed the Jedi in a comparable amount of time.
We're not discussing personal opinions, lol. Khem is telling us about an event he witnessed that actually happened. Unless you think he's lying or he hallucinated it you don't have cause to think he's wrong about it. It isn't an opinion.
Your second quote says Hord had an army and Khem, it doesn't mention how he used them in specific battles.

What makes you think Khem isn't trying to glorify Hord by exaggerating details? You know, this is the only person in his life who gave him purpose, who defeated him at full strength in a fair battle, and to whom he's still basically trying to re-enter the servitude of. Alternatively, what makes you think that his memory wasn't affected, as Ajunta Pall's was in KotOR?
The quote also claims that Khem fought alongside Hord, so it's obviously not Hord doing it solo, as Khem claimed. There's already a contradiction. At the end of the day, no matter how you choose to justify the discrepancy (or choose not to justify it at all), Khem's claims are flat-out contradicted by objective sources. He's not a reliable source.
My quote also states that he had them by his side, so unless you're suggesting that the army and Khem just watched on as Hord solo'd the Jedi, then yeah, they were used. Not to mention that we know Khem fought by Tulak Hord's side, so the army of dark side warriors that were also by his side would've been logically involved in an identical manner.

An army can have jedi and soldiers. His army could be fighting the soldiers while he carries out his ritual against the Jedi. There's your plausible scenario (not that I'm using it).

The very fact that Khem respects Hords strength is what suggests he wouldn't feel the need to exaggerate it. That's pathetic and would make Hord unworthy of Khem's high opinion. And I don't need to give you a reason for why he isn't doing something, that would be proving a negative. You need to prove that Khem is exaggerating. Which is impossible. Khem never died like Pall did, nor did he spend millennia in despair. He was just in stasis. There's no reason to doubt his memories other than that you want to.
No it doesn't. You're getting your battles mixed up. Khem fought with him at Chabosh, as the quote says. Yn is the siege where Hord solo'd the attackers. There is no contradiction.
No, it doesn't. Your quote is speaking about the whole conflict, not any specific battle. Hord had an army and Khem at his side for the war as a whole, which doesn't mean he couldn't have fought solo. Khem flat out says Hord did it solo. His account is the most reliable and specific.
I think the only thing unreliable here, is your objectivity in reviewing these sources. You're clearly twisting them for your agenda. Just admit you were wrong and we can discuss Hord's strength in earnest.
This whole argument proves bias and renders all of these arguments moot. The PT/OT/NJO crowd will argue to death about quotes regarding the ancients while taking those for the PT/OT/NJO at face value. The ancient sith crowd turns around and does the same thing. Then the winner declares himself the winner by either posting the longest or saying "concession accepted" and the cycle begins anew.

Originally posted by SunRazerHahah. You first respond falsely without knowing better than casually dismiss it showing ignorance and later bias at the same time. Double standards are your thing. It only counts when your guy does it.
I didn't say that.Remind me of the proof that Hord/Exile blitzed them or instakilled them. Otherwise, completely incomparable examples.
