They don't have to scan hyperbands. Dahakverse hyperspace travel produces a Hyperwave, which can be picked up many, many light years away, regardless what Hyperband you use.consequences wrote:I believe I have already stated that I wouldn't fight unless I had a big fleet.
Its already been established that you can manuever in hyperspace, just have the kamikazes zipping all over the area.
My arguments against them being able to scan Star Wars ships as they come in are mainly due to the speed the Star Wars ship would be moving, at least 1000 times that of anything the 'toids would ever have seen before, and lasting ridiculously low fractions of a second. Its debatable if the 'toids would even be scanning at such a high hyperspace band without prior knowledge of Star Wars, why would they waste time and effort on an area they "know" isn't a threat.
Just as a note, a Star Wars force that doesn't know what they're dealing with is fucked, almost regardless of their numerical superiority. If I didn't know exactly what was coming at me, I would be fucked too, because I might not recognise what I was dealing with before it was too late, and the manueverability disparity is truly ridiculous.

However, as long as the Planetiod keeps it Enchanch drive powered, and the Starwars ships take about a millisecond to drop out of hyperspace, that is plenty of time for activating the Enchanch drive and move well beyond the range of the Starwars ships.consequences wrote:Except for the fact that Star Wars is never described as using hyperspace bands, and this hyperwake is never detected in the Star Wars universe.
StarWars ships have fast hyperspace, but the transition from hyperspace to realspace isnt instantaneous. Thus the planetiod tracts them when they entire realspace, and still has enough time to get out of the way.
The 5ThI dont need to track the SW hyperspace, just SW ships dropping out of hyperspace.
