A very easy way for the Empire to wipe out thier enemies....
Moderator: Vympel
whoa hey wait a second, Normans are Vikings that settled in Normandy. You'd be pillaging your own kin!
:p
Heres a novel idea: Empire + AI drones + 200GT TLs = Instant Victory.
The Empire could simply deploy about 1000 200GTTL-equipped AI drones throughout the Milky Way to wipe out all space ports and space station facilities (drydocks, etc). This would prevent any crews on-world from moving to their ships, prevent new ships from being built, prevent supply transfer, etc. Take out a few subspace comms relays as well. The empire would expend almost no effort and would effectively destroy all possible military opposition. Then, being the beautiful bastards they are, they can come in as the saviors, aiming to rebuild and improve the civilisations destroyed by the evil Rebellion's TLDrones.
This gains not just a galaxy, but a galaxy of SUPPORTERS.

Lord knows, if *I* had a gazillion ships that could actually DO that, I would NEVER think of it...Ben Ingram wrote:The Empire could simply send a huge fleet to Earth, Q'u'o'nos, Bajor, and Romulus, berform a BDZ, and escape just as the Feds arrive thanx to the speed differences between warp and hyperdrive......

That's a rare jest, ahaha! For a Northman never tires of plunder, piracy, and yea, hijacking!But enough thread hijacking
And where's the problem in that? They're no kin of mine - once they settled in Utgård they grew weak of spine and mind!kojikun wrote:whoa hey wait a second, Normans are Vikings that settled in Normandy. You'd be pillaging your own kin!

1. Bajor? Since when is it worth the fuel it takes to destroy?
2. Stupid stratagy. While in the short term it elimates the oposition, in the long term it can cost you dearly.

What an original plan.Ben Ingram wrote:The Empire could simply send a huge fleet to Earth, Q'u'o'nos, Bajor, and Romulus, berform a BDZ, and escape just as the Feds arrive thanx to the speed differences between warp and hyperdrive......
I've got a better plan. Lets send a fleet of 500 Eclipses to each planet.(wank to the Eclips, wank)
