Meeting of the Intergalactic Fascists

[FaxModem1]

On an Earth like planet, three armies of a thousand and their corresponding equipment appear. No one has vehicles.

On one side, there is the Galactic Empire.(Star Wars)

On the second are the Peacekeepers.(Farscape)

On the third is the Enclave.(Fallout)

Do they battle it out? If so, who wins?

If they don't, what happens? Let's say that for the purposes of this scenario, both the Peacekeepers and the Empire have distress beacons that can bring in ships in a week.

So, what happens?

I don't know about the peacekeapers but the Enclave would love to claim the planet for them self. The Empire on the other hand really has no need to do so with the whole millions of worlds thing they have going. So most likely the Empire would simply dig in somwhere and make deals with the other two to remain neutral untill their ships come to pick them up. After that, they would move to a safe distance and think about watching to see what happens next.

Well, the Enclave doesn't have any spaceships so even if they do manage to beat the other guys then its just a matter of time before another ship full of guys shows up and decides to take potshots at them from orbit.

I'd say that if the Enclave knows how to play it smart then they will start negotiations with the other two armies and try to join forces. I don't know anything about Farscape or the Peacekeepers but I suspect that the Empire could find some use for the Enclave. At the very least, the Enclave could police the planet and work under the Empires supervision. If the Empire provides them with their super Star Wars pew pew blasters that can blow up walls and stuff then the Enclave would basically be like stormtroopers with power armor... except the Empire doesn't have to pay them as much.

So the way I see it, the Enclave makes contact with the Empire, decides that it would be highly advantageous to get on their good side, and basically sides with them to fight against whoever the peacekeepers are. From what I know of the Empire, they would treat the Enclave as some kind of minor mercenary force or the like and let them handle dirty work that the Empire doesn't feel like doing themselves. They would probably just control that one planet at first but the Enclave would certainly want to spread to the stars as soon as possible.

Also, if all three armies suddenly popped into existance on some planet somewhere with no explaination and no vehicles then its likely that all three armies would set up encampments, defend their positions, and try to initiate contact with the others and try to figure out what's going on. The two spacefaring armies would try to contact their ships and then its just a matter of who gets a ship to appear in orbit first. I don't think a good general would respond with sudden teleportation to a random planet by blindly attacking whatever other two armies they come across.

If it was just two armies then there might be a case of them fighting, but with three then it would be easy for any one of them to just sit back and wait for the other two to weaken themselves fighting before cleaning up. Without a ship in orbit then neither spacefaring army would really need to waste resources fighting, they just hole up and wait for a ship to arrive. Once a ship arrives then the guy with the ship can call the shots until something else happens.

At the end of Farscape the Peacekeepers were reminded that they were essentially formed for just that--keeping the peace. Depending on who's leading them, if the Empire and Enclave were behaving as above, i think the Peacekeepers might just behave too. In a stand up fight I think they've shown more skill than stormtroopers (I'm not familiar with the Enclave), I just think their chakkan oil will run out long before the week is up.
