Does 'Omicron-Theta' mean anything to you?Captain Zod wrote:XaLEv wrote: Does Tatooine have two suns?
No. The other "sun" is blue in TPM. You can't have a yellow/blue binary system with live. It's some weird thing.
How can you guys...

Now wait a second! I might be a Trek fan, but that sounds ridiculous. *TWo* systems in the Empire? If hyperdrive is about as fast as warp drive, then the Empire should contain at leats 100, maybe 2-300 systems.Captain Zod wrote:Solo galaxy quote is hyperbole. And the Empire is only 1 system.

SW must be using a different factoring for trans-light speed to get those distances.Stormbringer wrote:Then how did they get from Coruscant (near the center of the Galaxy) to Kamino or Tatooine or Naboo or Geonosis or Endor or Yavin. People have all made those trips. All are in the Outer Rim. How if they go a measly 1.5c can they do that? And it's a canon, indisputable fact that they did do this.

You also know nothing about warfare if you are making claims like that.

I didn't know Wars had an encyclopedia. Is it anything like the Star Trek encyclopedia? I might go out and get it, since it seems to be referred to a lot. That is, if it's worth it.2000AD wrote:Dwarf galaxy? Not according to the SW encyclopidia which puts it at about 20000 - 200000 Light years larger than the Milky Way.

Better concede a whole lot more. And they have more than 500 ships and "primitive laser".Captain Zod wrote:Alright, I concede that Hyperdrive may be a few 100 c, and the Empire may have a few dozen systems. But they still only have 500 ships and primitive lasers.
They are not lasers. Period.

you haven't proved anything. you said that Darkstar had proved it, are you darkstar? I think not, not even he was this stupid. Also he hasn't proved a goddam thing. he uses a theory that relies on Ald. having no shield (which it did) and contains some rather suspect things, plus it has been ripped apart numerous times and is being ripped apart again by wong in a debate right now!Captain Zod wrote:Anyways, since I already proved that 20 ships can do something the Death Star can't, it doesn't matter if the Empire has 2 billion ships.
And snce this is my last post for the night I leave you with this:
At the height of it's power the Empire controlled 3/4 of a galaxy larger than our own.
At the height of it's power the Federation controlled a fraction of a quarter of a galaxy. (or didn't you know what the quadrant in Alpha quadrant meant?)

From what I have seen of his posting style, I don't think it is.

In answer to the question of encyclopedias on SW, yes there are many. The latest was the visual one for AOTC. Go to your local bookstore and pick one up -- you'll find it's a wise investment before entering debates such as these. It addresses such issues as the power and nature of turbolasers, the speed and range of hyperdrive systems, and a plethera of other valuable details about the SW galaxy.

Okay Captain, how about this: Since you support the idea that the Federation can defeat the Empire (which I share) why don't you stop arguing old ideas (old here, at any rate) and help us Trekkies by coming up with ways the Federation could adapt and advance to give it the ability to stand up to the Empire?
Also, as to Prommie's argument about fleet numbers: Apparently, the Feds used over 500 ships against the Borg in 2373 (ST:FC) and lost about 300 of them. In addition, they apparently lost about a thousand vessels in the Dominion War during the first THREE MONTHS alone befire the tide turned.
Where'd you pull these numbers out of?!
And PROVE THE FEDS HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST THE EMPIRE!
