Then again, wasn't she the same officer who thought that 4 ISDs and a single Executor-class posed a threat to the New Republic?

Yes, but this tactic would work against the Federation.

I'd be inclined to take a dozen VSDs, put bright young officers fresh out of Academy in command, and tell them to have fun...

I can see it now, a young cadet accidently rams and destroys a federation star base, while learning how to fly a VSD. :D

Since they are conquering an entire galaxy I would think they would send someone like Tarkin. No doubt the Empire would effortlessly crush the forces of the Milky Way galaxy, but that is a hell of a lot of territory.

My guess is that, if the Empire knew they were attempting to conquer a new galaxy, a Grand Admiral or a Grand Moff would be sent to take care of business, with a cadre of lesser Admirals and other officers.

If they JUST knew about the UFP (perhaps in the earlier stages of the campaign), then an admiral would be sent (or similar). Note that the conquered areas would probably be governed with a political appointee.
