Alien goes a travelling

My thoughts where on the "Old Palpy knows all the bad guys falacy". I mean if it's evil and bad ass then Palpy has talked to it via a force meditation. So he's make an ally of the Queen and let it lose on the Rebels.

Ouch the rebels are toasts.

The Queen could cause a lot of damage on the DS, but take it over fully? Nope. As vicious and cunning as these things are, numbers are against them in this scenario.

I'm curious though, would the Stormie armour stop the acid considering it also has gaps for the armour plates?

If you want something to takeover a place that big though I'd recommend the Thing. Stealth beats brute force everytime.

Xenomorph Queen would be easily contained on Deathstar. It would probably over-run B5 but not before half of the colony is destroyed. DS9 would easily be over-run with everyone becoming hosts for new Xenomorphs. DS9 would try to communicate with the Queen.

There are no civilians on the DS. Every person that they come into contact with has had military training. Stormtroopers permeate the entire station (as we saw in the film), because of the threat of Rebel sabotage by an inside agent. Unlike the humans in the "Aliens" movies, these men are accustomed to the concept of non-humanoid aliens. All of the stormies have helmet comms, most of the others probably carry comm-links, and all of them will know to sound the alarm and at the very least, scream for help. The troops all carry high-powered weapons; even an officer's handgun is more than enough to put down a xenomorph warrior. The corridors are broad, well-lit, and open. Spaces are wide.

In short, I reiterate that this is the worst conceivable environment for the Alien Queen. Everything that could possibly be against her is against her. No civilians, so no easy kills. Everyone's military, so no panicky behaviour. Everyone's got comms, so it won't take long for someone to sound the alarm. Huge numbers against her. Heavy firepower being brought to bear. Enemy soldiers whose armour is acid-resistant, which will help splatter-situations. Total cluster-fuck for the alien queen.

DS9 and B5, on the other hand, are relative paradise. Lots of idiots running around, poor security, mostly civilian population, most personnel don't carry guns all the time even if they're military, etc.

What about how Han and Chewie stormed that group of Stormies?

That was hilarious if also stupid at the end.

B5 Security goes to plenty of parts of the station over their patrols, if one of them got picked off, or one of the techs went missing, then people would notice. It took one missing tech to notify security of the zarg, it would take, maybe 10 techs and 20 lurkers, though missing lurkers might be noticed.

Even worse, considering the armoured decks and bulkheads combined with the very heavy blast-doors, so the Imperials will not have a problem with compartmentalising the battlestation and sealing in the xenomorphs until they can send in troops or war droids.

War Droids. That's the death of the Xenomorphs. Endless numbers
of war droids who feel no fear, no pain, etc and don't provide hosts
for the aliens.

Actually Droidekas would be worse rapid fire energy weapons,and forcefield to keep em at arms length plus all the droid advantages
