The Irken Empire Vs. The Following Alliance

[Invader Taz]

Inspired by a thread at SB.

The Irken Empire has began Operation Impending Doom III… [Echoingspacevoice] “It is only a matter of time before all the races of the multi-verse serve… the IRKEN EMPIRE“[/Echoingspacevoice].

Q has given the following universes a chance to stop the Irken Machine cold by giving them five years prep time and providing quick, safe, and easy inter-universal travel between each of them:

Isaac Asimov's Galactic Empire
Stargate (all none-Ascend races)
Star craft (megameter calcs)
Dune
Warhammer 40,000 (All factions at their most powerful)
Star Wars (all factions from 100,000 BBY to 140 ABY)
Star Trek (31st century Feds)
Halo (all)
Starship Troopers
Babylon 5

Do the Irkens stomp them like a bug before ruling the multi-verse, or can the Alliance stop the Irken Empire from conquering the multi-verse?

I'm not familiar enough with that particular aspect of Asimov's work, so I can't comment on that one.

However, the Irken will likely find a way to hijack the stargates and start pumping candy through them until everyone either gives up or drowns in chocolate-coated nugat goodness.

Starcraft... well, those Zerg things are annoying but we can toss them on the Planet of Sewage, they'll blend in perfectly there. Or we can make Zerglings tacos! But sometimes tacos make me explode. Protoss? Try our Warp Candies, they're tasty and they give us control of your brains (and weird voices)! Terrans? Paralyze their economy by stealing their vespene gas and switching it with laughing gas!

Dune? Hmm. I'm sure there's a planet somewhere out there that we can send to Foodcourtia, have them make warrior fanatics and go forth and conquer the universe in the name of the Tallest. Otherwise, honestly, they've got strange tech levels and I'm sure doing it the hard way wouldn't be difficult.

40k? Replace all warp gods and c'tan with piggies, instant victory. Sure it doesn't make sense. Neither does anything else in that setting half the time. Also the Irken FTL is clearly faster than the IoM's FTL, because they can move through real space safely, at the speed of Plot.

Star Wars? All factions? Seriously? I'm going to replace all lightsabers with piggies then. Also all turbolasers.

Halo? I'll replace the Flood with piggies. Then the entire galaxy will cringe at the piggies' very existence! Or just land on the Halos and take them over, and reconfigure them so that when they're triggered they do something as improbable as necessary.

Starship Troopers... depends whether we're going with the book or films. For the book I replace every character's brain with a piggie; if it's the movies, it's too late, because the piggie-brain-replacement plan clearly did not work.

The Irkens can fly ships straight through planets and stars without any significant damage. They can, with only the resources of one failed Invader, pump out a planets core and mantle and replace them with candy and snacks in a matter of minutes. The Irkens are pretty much a walking no-limits fallacy. Irkens take this.

[Srelex]

What about the Celestials from Star Wars? Or the Necrons at full strength? Surely the Irkens aren't invincible. They are from a (admittedly dark) kid's cartoon, after all.

[Kuroji]

From the same guy who thought up Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, yeah. The Irken can basically pull anything out of their ass, so long as it is ridiculous enough. There is no victory for anyone here, but anyone short of outright deity-level abilities isn't going to be able to do enough to stop them.

On the other hand, they'd probably lose interest quickly enough too.

[Stark]

The Irkens are pretty much a walking no-limits fallacy.

Do you know what a no limits fallacy is? The Irken materials and weapons are hardly 'no limits', they are just really, really good. Being able to deflate the Earth like a balloon doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

[Ghost Rider]

Uh...yeah.

This isn't a scenario this is see who can wank harder to what given no one is trying, with only Stark making an attempt last time at trying to make a debate out of this mess.

[Stark]

I'm not sure what the average Invader is like, but the two we see most of are very SIR-unit reliant. They know about Irken tech, but aren't skilled in all of it themselves, and it seems designed to interact with SIR droids in a widespread fashion. ZIM's base looks retarded entirely because GIR is insane and fed the base camoflage system poor information. If this is true of the majority of Invaders, anything that can disrupt the SIR units will cause them serious problems.

That said, there are no SIR units used anywhere except by Invaders, so Irken on warships don't get them.

[The Vortex Empire]

Have any of the other factions in this shown comparable armor to the Irkens? The Massive, with apparently no shields, flew through a star after smashing through several small planets and only scorched the paint.

I think in an all out war against empires, Invaders would play little to no real part in the conflict. Invaders seem to be intended to take worlds that aren't actively fighting against the Irken Empire, not win wars. The battles would likely revolve primarily around the navies.

[Stark]

So they'd involve a big 'naval' (lol) fight when they have focused on training and preparing an operation specifically designed to avoid that? Remember, a single Invader conquered Vort, the planet that designed the Massive.

[The Vortex Empire]

True. I was thinking that the Invaders would be somewhat ineffective if the other factions found out about them, but most Irkens can disguise themselves far better than Zim. I originally thought the post stated that the other factions were given some intelligence about the Irkens, but the OP states that it's just time to prepare, so they wouldn't know about the threat. In planets of trillions like Coruscant, the odds of the invaders being discovered before it was too late are low.
