A small convoy consisting of an Imperial Dictator class cruiser

,
two Firestorm class frigates

,
four Cobra class destroyers

,
and 12 transports which carry 5,000 Imperial guardsmen, 700 tanks, and supplies for 2 years pop up in the Alpha Quadrant due to some freaky accident.
What happens?

Which part of the AQ?

Hmm say:
in Federation territory, 1/2 ly from DS 9.

It pisses on them from a very great hight, assuming no super-being intervention.

You know, I could order you dragged off to Armaggedon for not letting the Inquisition in on the fun.

Where are the Titan Legions and the Apocalypse class battleships?

I'd like to see where you get an Armageddon class bb from, there are almost none left IIRC.
Might as well take a good old Retribution class.
Oh and btw let's just say that there are some inquisitor's onboard the Dictator class.

How expansionistic/xenophobic are these Imperials? Do they favor shooting first and asking questions later, or are they open to diplomacy? I think I know the answers, but I just want to be sure.

Does each transport have 5,000 Imperial Guardsmen, 700 thanks and supplies for 2 years? Or is that the combined total?

The Imperium of Mankind's military has to struggle constantly to defend humanity from it's many foes, so normally they would shoot first and ask questions later however there is a chace they might be surprised by the fact the Federation is human dominated, so I don't know how they would react. Probably it would come to a fight sooner or later especially with members of the inquisition onboard ("what Emperor of Humanity?")

army numbers are in total and supplies are for the whole force.

They have a strict religious system centered on the Emperor?

The Imperial forces do not have enough ships to conquer the AQ. They do have enough ships (their ships are very powerful) to take territory and defend it though.

The first logical course of action would be to try to go back home. Once realizing that they can't, they will attempt to establish a base of operations close to where they entered the AQ. I can see them moving into the Bajor system. They will probably view the Bajorans (even though they are not human, but they are close enough) as heretics and they will swiftly conquer Bajor. DS9 will be taken and the Wormhole will be studied for potentional strategic purposes. Even though DS9 doesn't compare to their level of firepower, it does compare well to the technology of the natives, for that reason it would be worth preserving.

Once Bajor is secured, the Imperium will initiated construction programs and attempt to build more ships using Bajoran techonology. They will also launch raids with their destroyers and frigates against the Cardassians, Ferengi, and Breen. Perhaps the UPF, but I will deal with them later. The raids will be designed to capture goods and equipment. The Dictator will probably stay in the Bajoran system to defend against any reprisals. They don't have the advantage of a superior FTL like the Galactic Empire would.

If there are more than one inquisitor aboard they will probably attempt to eliminate the competition and assume direct control of the task force. I'm not sure how the hierarchy works, but that would seem to make sense. As long as the inquisitor is in control, I don't believe the forces of the Imperium would have any meaningful dialogue with the UFP. They would interrogate any surving members of DS9 and learn all they could about the UFP including the locatin of Earth.

Once Earth is discovered, the Inquisitor would probably feel it was his duty to bring the humans into the fold of the Empire (at least his small outpost of the Empire). They would leave some defensive forces in Bajor, perhaps the two frigates and then they would head for Earth with a couple of thousand soldiers. They would probably be able to hire a lot of AQ mercenaries to assist them with occupying Earth. The UFP would establish a large defensive perimeter around Earth and battle the Imperial Forces. There would be an impressive fireworks display as the UFP forces are demolished. Starfleet HQ will be destroyed and the Empire will issue an ultimatum to Earth: Surrender or be destroyed.

The UFP will be thrown into chaos. Earth will become the capital of the Empire of Man under the leadership of the Inquisitor. It will be difficult to get all of the AQ humans to worship the Inquisitor as a god, so he will probably settle for being named Emperor and representative of the God Emperor in this galaxy. Bajor will be important because it will be used later on as a launching point in a conquest of the non human civilizations in the AQ near the Cardassians/Breen/Ferengi, and every other alien of th e week in that part of the AQ.

The Empire of Man AQ will build up a new fleet and put all of the former UFP under its control, then it will go after the Romulans and Klingons. In several decades all of the AQ + BQ could be under the control of the Empire.

actually they do. As there is no Chaos deamons to slow them down, they will be able to cross the galaxy in minimum a week and possibly instantly, the Old Ones did it when the warp was more stable. in the ST universe there is nothing to slow them down

If there are more than one inquisitor aboard they will probably attempt to eliminate the competition and assume direct control of the task force. I'm not sure how the hierarchy works, but that would seem to make sense.

Interragator->Inquisitor->Lord Inquisitor->Segmentum-Lord-Inquisitor->Senatorum Imperialis Representative.
It is unlikely that that would happen, they consider it bad form to actually kill each other without a very good reason, more likely they would co-operate

They know where earth is.. oh hang on, it was moved [along with the solar system] in the DAoT

more likely something along the lines of Govenor-of the-galaxy or simply Lord Protector

Why? they'd probably collapse the wormhole, but that would be it

I don't know how well they could build a proper fleet? if you landed in a country of savages, suppressed them, could you get them to build a jet-plane?

Necronlord,

I don't believe they would build a fleet capable of destroying Imperial ships, but they could build a fleet capable of destroying other AQ ships. With the resources of the UFP under their control they could do that. The Imperial Ships could just provide the heavy firepower and breakup the opposing fleets and then the newly constructed ships could easily mop up the rest.

I don't know enough of the inquisitor, interrogator hierarchy to comment on what you said, Necronlord.

please note the Segmentum lord is stil called lord they are just lord inquistor for segmentum X as opposed to Sector X an Interragator is basically an apprentice.

Well, of course not, but I would like to have a few. Their turrets are quite... sweet.

Oh, and pop in a few chapters of Space Marines! Preferrably Flesh Tearers. That'll show the Klingons a thing or two about close combat.

They come in, kick ass, take names, and conquer the UFP in the name of the God Emperor. Determined to bring swift justice to the enemies of humanity, they trash the Prime Directive, bring ruthless order to the AQ by seizing control of Ferengi assets, using them to fianance a violent and bloody campaign against the Romulans, easily seize the Klingon Empire and step on the Cardassians.

Then, they procede with a massive military build-up of hundreds of thousands of warships. It's purpose: Invade the Dominion, confiscate it's territory for the Imperium, and then bring the Hirogen, Malons, etc. under the Imperial thumb.

And then begins the Imperium-Borg war. As the Borg are pushed back, the former UFP becomes a favored province and is granted semi-automony until the Imperium can summon reinforcements from the galaxy proper.

Guess what the semi-automonous province is called?

That's right. The Terran Empire.
