The Empire has bigger superstar destroyers although not that many. Also apperantly (acording to other Empire vs Imperium threads on stardestroyer.net people have come to the conclusion that empires weapons and sheilds on theire ships are superior however, thay can't match the production rate of the Imperium and the power of chaos gods.
yes,but there are more Battleships then Superstar destroyers,and i'd like to see how it stacks p against nova and lance cannons aswell as 300ft torpedoes

That retribution-class thing must be awful to maintain. The little (or massive!) eagle towards the back made me think of the old Red Dwarf titles, the bit where a lone man in a spacesuit is repainting part of the outside of the ship
The Sun Crusher, huh? Doesn't help all that much. The Imperium, unlike the forces that the Sun Crusher faced, are both willing and capible of unleashing the full power of their Exterminatus-class weapons on the Sun Crusher, each of which are just as if not more powerful than the Deathstar beam. These guns are mounted on the majority of the Imperium's standard vessels, which means that it doesn't really matter where the Sun Crusher goes, it will just be destroyed. Even if it manages to destroy a couple of star systems, so what? The Imperium will survive. Then the Sun Crusher will be destroyed, having accomplished no more than a GE armada could. Meh, in the end, it all really comes down to the FTLs. Both sides have standard weapons on ships to destroy planets, but only one has the faster FTL. If it ever came down to a pitched battle with equal numbers, it could go either way. But in reality the GE could win by hit-and-scorch tactics. That is to say, they could use their superior FTL to launch surprise attacks on poorly defended planets and escape long before an alarm is even sent out to the rest of the Imperium. The problem with that is that eventually, the Imperium will run out of undefended planets. At that point, the war will boil down to the GE sending waves of ships against unconquerable planets that are simply too well defended to take. The Imperium, meanwhile, will send armadas of ships to the GE Galaxy that will take decades to reach there, if not more. By the time that they reach the enemy planets, the war could be over. Of course, the GE has only a handful of planets capible of producing quality ships so it is likely that WHEN the Imperium gets there, it will be a quick victory. Debatable. Weaponry and shields in cross-francise combat is only equivilatable provided that real measurements are provided. For example, the E-11 blaster, the standard issue for a ST, has approximately the same force behind every shot as if the Mir Space Station came down on Earth. That is an actual, quanitfible amount of energy, which can in turn be compared to other weapons' outputs. The problem is that most francises don't provide these measurement, hell, the E-11 info is completely random in its existence. The rest of the SW Universe doessn't have these measurements. We can only ever postulate the reletive power of the weapons.
The Sun Crusher was hid in the core of a star, and flew right through several Star Destroyers without even getting scratched, if I recall correctly. But yes, one of them won't make much of a difference against an entire armada.
Not really. The Imperium is made up mostly of systems each with only one used planet per system, the Segmentum Solar being the main difference. And the Star Crusher has a finite payload of something like 11 of those missles.
Did you miss the 'unprotected planets' part? Yeah, lets attack some of the MOST GUARDED PLANETS THERE ARE, instead of the lesser planets. That plan is full of fail. All it would do is run the Star Crusher into an armada and get it destroyed. And it would have minimal impact anyways. The loss of 11 Forge Worlds is tragic, yes, but in the overal scheme of things, there are THOUSANDS, if not more, forge worlds. The output of the Imperium will still outdo the GE.
No you weren't. You didn't make any reference to Orks in anything you had said. You just said that people were annoying you because they only took knowledge from the games and then said some nonsense about the Wordbearers... Well frankly the depiction of Orks in the game is more or less accurate, as it would take dozens, if not hundreds, of individual Orks to down a single Space Marine. Orks almost universally lack small arms powerful enough to damage ceramite, and when they do possess them it's incredibly unlikely that they're going to be able to bring down the much better trained and equipped opponent that a Space Marine is. As to this discussion as a whole, I have no doubts the Galactic Empire would easily be toppled by the Imperium. It seems impossible for the Empire to make a real stand against the vastly superior forces of the Imperium.
The Imperium is too many, we need all tthe human civilizations from all sci-fi lore like the UNSC, GE, and many more.
Yea, and nay. The UNSC would be a footnote in this kind of fight. The Terran Dominion... meh... don't see how they could really help... On the other hand, SG's races could probably put up a long-lasting, if not conventional fight...
Where is the Death Star,the Super Star Destroyer and the EMperor's flagship? Where is His Holy Name Cannot Be Said or Shown Because He Is Fucking Holy.
The Death Star was wiped out with a couple squadrons of X-Wings. The SSD is still less powerful and horribly outnumbered by the Retribution-class. The Emperor's Flagship is ONE SHIP and by all means, just a bigger target.
