Post-Occupation Feddie Resistance

[Drewcifer]

I'd learn to speak Bothan

Seriously though, I think that internal resistance (sabotage, spying), or in other words, aiding the Rebellion, would prove more fruitful in the long run than any kind of armed resistance.

Maybe try and set up some kind of shipping/transportation operation, a legitimate business that just happened to overlook 'stow-aways' and 'unknown' data transfers.

Yeah, but those commie Feddies should learn how to set up BUSINESSS first.

[Darth Fanboy]

It wouldn't be so difficult for them to set up businesses so much as adapting to the re introduction of currency. Just because money has been abolished doesn't mean that they dont operate businesses such as restaurants. How does the Picard family operate a vineyard without some sort of compensation ya?

On the original subject...

A direct confrontation would appear to be out of the question, and even terrorist activity wouldn't be wise in the short run; the Empire has a reputation for massive retaliation when they get pissed off, blowing up one of their buildings or ships could easily cost you a planet full of innocent civilians.

So, infiltration and acquisition of Imperial technology would be the order of the day. The Empire will start building factories and hiring local people sooner or later, so the first priority would be to get plenty of people in place wherever it looks like the Empire is going to set up shop.

Steal technology whenever possible. Nothing so big it would prompt major retaliation, just thinks that wouldn't be missed too much. Blasters, speeders, communications devices, small craft with hyperdrives, etc. Learning about Imperial technology is imperative.

Even though life in the Empire wasn't awful, I doubt that the population will be to happy with it. There was plenty of dissent in the Empire; even on backwater worlds like Tatooine, the local people expressed their distaste for the New Order. You'd need to spread your networks to the point you could organize a massive uprising, taking control of the Empire's entire Milky Way power base at once. That would probably take decades of preparation, but I don't see that the Federation has much of a choice. A prime objective in the early point of the campaign would be to cut communications and trade back to the Star Wars galaxy; your rebellion is toast if the Empire sends reinforcements.

[Lord Sander]

If you were in command of the Federation Resistence after a successful Imperial invasion, what would you do to fight a effective guerilla war?

Precisely what the Atrivis Resistence Group did, become an Alliance Sector Force.

[XPViking]

How exactly are the Feds going to contact the Rebel Alliance? If the Rebels have any members within the occupying Imperial force it will be difficult if not impossible at best. The Feds will have to do it on their own.

Provided the connections between the Milky Way and the GFFA are numerous enough (multiple wormholes) to not all be hyper-restricted by the Empire, the Rebels WILL come. Not only for their idealism, but because the unexplored and exploited Milky Way is perfect for secret bases. Hell, Mon Cal exiles could set up some colonies and begin major shipbuilding with enough help from Federation insurgents. Manpower and knowledge of the Milky Way is what the Rebels can take from the Federation.

It's probably the Alliance that'll contact the resistence. They'll come. A new galaxy is a pretty big and resourceful place. Great for the Alliance's purposes. And new anti-Imperial factions are always welcome, especially if it means slowing down the Empire's conquest of the forementioned resources.

Then it is a question of time. Would the Rebels arrive in time to salvage whatever is left of the Feds before the Empire crushes all resistance? The reason why I say it is highly unlikely is that secret groups (in this case who aren't even aware of eachother's existence unlike our priviledge viewpoint) want to draw attention to themselves. Putting out feelers for other resistance groups is pretty tricky but I'd agree that the Rebels would probably do it first since they are more familiar with how the Imperials operate.

ok say the feds do put up a decent resistance. The only thing the imperials have to do is destroy earth and a few more planets as a punishment and most of the resistance would probably think twice about attacking them.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

They could use rebel assistance to tow a starbase in there.

So it can be blown apart by the badlands? Great job!

[Vader] We know that they were here Captain Drewcifer, now tell us where they are *Sound of Drewcifer's neck snapping* Tear this ship apart until you have found the data, collect the passengers, I want them alive![/Vader]

[Romulan_nemesis]

Firstly, I would recruit seven of nine, (if she was available). Borg knowledge on wormholes would be highly useful.
Voyager's Astrometric Lab, seems to be alot more advanced than that of any Federation ship's Stellar Cartography.

Another Alliance with the Borg may be necessary (if possible to transmit to them or even get to a wormhole) to win the conflict. They may be interested if they know that the federation sub-cells are in the area and may have information on the Imperial's strategies from being occupied., and since the Empire shows as much of a threat (if not greater) than species 8472.

I'd make a deal with the devil to avoid annihilation.
Then, I think I'd grap a phaser rifle and go at it with some stormtroopers as a suicide attempt at going down with some kind of dignity, fighting for the dying Federation. Cause, if I lived then, I would be damned before I call myself an Imperial.

Umm the fed would not be conquered and even if they were the Empire wouldnt get past the delta quadrant before the Borg got them and then they'd b toast

I would suggest you read the main page (www.stardestroyer.net), then come back here and read

oops - I meant well argued, backed up with evidence, that the Federation would not win. Which is also on the main page. If you bothered to read it. Which you most likely did not.

thats very true. and pi is equal to exactly 3.

[FettKyle]

with what ever force I have I'd use a few ships abandon any base I got go up to the nearest stardestroyer put out a signal of surrender have about twenty men inside the ship 100 out side the ship in space suits where they are not visible let the SD tractor us and as soon as the ship is in the docking bay send my team in space suit and Phaser rifle in the stardestroyer as a last ditch effort to take it over hopeful some how get some body on the Bridge. depresurize the entire ship and turn off the artifcial gravity which then might eliminate the 37,000 on the stardestroyer. then contact the Borg.

I'm pretty sure that StarDestroyers do not have centralized systems. In other words you can't just space the crew in one blow.

[Enforcer Talen]

120 red shirts vs a division of stormtroopers?

[Stephie3349]

And even if they got past the borg(what a hypothetical situation)8472 could destroy the death star with 9 ships without having to go through those little dumb corridors.

[Master of Ossus]

BFC reveals that such an operation is impossible. The Yevethan commandoes that were storming the Black Fleet in the very beginning could have easily seized the bridge, but they ALSO needed to perform extensive sabotage throughout the ISD's in question to prevent the ships from escaping just in case. In other words, it takes more than the bridge to storm the ship.

[Howedar]

And even if they got past the borg(what a hypothetical situation)

No support, so I'll ignore your claim that the Borg would pose a credible threat to the Empire.

8472 could destroy the death star with 9 ships without having to go through those little dumb corridors.

First, the S8472 planet destruction would be of questionable use against shields: it did not appear to be a DET weapon, but rather a system to instigate a chain reaction of some sort. Second, I haven't a fucking clue what you're babbling about corridors.

Trench run I think.

Oh and that also assumes that the Death Star would just let the nine ships get into position without trying to fight back. Because that always happens.
