CIS vs. Yuuzhan Vong

[NecronLord]

Going back to the original topic, how effective would THX-1138 be on Vong bioorganisms?

What's wrong, Warmaster? What's wrong?

From what I've read of the NJO (Not much, I have to admit) I don't recall the YV using any form of sealed armour for their ground infantry.

I'm sure the Vong crab armour would magically secreat some kind of mucus that renders the toxic material harmless ... ... This is afterall the uber wank YV.

No, they can't even defend themselves against a "boffen plant pollen" or something.

No, they can't even defend themselves against a "boffen plant pollen" or something.

If I remember right (not having actually read the books) their armor was violently alergic to the pollen. The Vong themselves were not effected but their living armor which protected them from small arms fire and I think even lightsabers to an extent could be killed by exposure to it.

Didn't it usually end up strangling them in its death throes, too? I remember they used pre-killed armour when the pollen was still a threat, probably to avoid any nasty side effects of an armour that dies in the field.

It's "baffor" tree pollen. The Baffor trees were native to Ithor, and semi-sentient.

Of course, the Vong conveniently eliminated the threat by burning Ithor to a crisp.

Rather than assuming that is the standard bridge tower of the ISD and Excecutor types, I will assume that it uses the standard globe, but not the standard bridge - due to this bridge being significantly smaller in relation to its globes than the Imperator's.

Real nice choice for your objective calc. "I'll choose the feature which produces the smaller estimate!" A more honest assessment would use the domes as a lower end and the bridge facet as a higher end.

As an addendum: the ISD domes are really that small compared to the vessel's length!?

[NecronLord]

Actually, I measured the smaller/more distant bulb, causing it to be a larger number for overall length. The fact that the bridge tower is not the same relative size to the globe is due to comic inaccuracy, but from a SoD point of view, it's not the same bridge tower as the one on the ISD and Excecutor.

Obviously, it is therefore also invalid to assume that the globes are the same size as those on the ISD or Excecutor class ships, but starting from the initial assumption that they are the results are distinctly below what you would call a Saxtonian dreadnought - try to remember, I don't claim that these don't exist - or battlecruiser.

Now, before realising that the bridges do not match, I did try overlaying ISDs on it. This resulted in the vessel's visual portion being under three ISD-lengths long, but I have accidentally overwrittern that image with the one I used before. I will reproduce it tomorrow if you wish.

Goodnight.

Here's where I got it from (At the bottom of that section: "Studies of the proportions of the star destroyer models reveal that the sensor globes have a diameter of approximately 41m."). I don't have any reason to dispute that number, anyway, night.
