The Yuuzhan Vong Vs the InterSteller Alliance (B5)

Post by EmperorSolo51 »

Instead of the Vong invading the Star Wars Galaxy, instead decide that the B5 galaxy will be thier new home. This Vong Invasion is set before the Drakh War. How would the Vong Invasion of The Babylon 5 galaxy Go? How effective would capship weapons of the B5 universe effect the Vong's dovin basils? Would the Vong ally with the Drakh? How would the Galaxy be effected by a post Vong war? What would the Vong Invasion Campaign look Like. How would the ISA counter attack? What are the Advantages and Dis-advantages of both sides? What races would fall to the Vong's advances?

B5 would be utterly smashed. The SW galaxy is more advanced and has more resources and they're still getting wipped.

Is it still in the 2200's or is this at the point 1 million years later where humans have become First Oneish?

If it's still 2200's which I imagine it is, then the ISA is wiped out, no contest. The ISA fleet is simply too small and too few of their members are advanced races. The beam weapons on the Whitestars and Victory-class destroyers only do a few dozen megatons of damage. The polycrystalline armor the Minbari and some ISA ships have would give them a bit more survivability, but less advanced races like Earth, Narn and Drazi would be wiped out very fast. I have trouble believing that the Vong's basals can suck in weapons moving at close to lightspeed so races who rely heavily on beam weapons might survive longer, the Centauri who use extremely rapid fire pulses would probably wear out Basals fast too, but their weapons do so little damage compared to SW weaponry.

Planet killing, bone heads, and precision jumping are the only way they can win and you robbed them of that tactic. Ah, if only the First Ones were still around to rip the Vong a new one.

The ISA has no chance

Maybe if Sheridan got on his knees and asked nicely the First Ones would come back.

What about Chemical, Biological and Nuclear weapons?

Post by EmperorSolo51 »

Don't Forget that the races of B5 will have chemical and biological andx nuclear weapons to use. If the Vong Invaded and Earth Alliance world they would be attacked with Chemical weapons like Phosgene Gas and Mustard Gas or some other highly advanced gas. the Earth Alliance also would use Nerve agents or Biological weapons to repel any invader and I think other races would also use Conventional WMD. The Earth Al.liance and other races would also deploy nuclear weapons to stop the Vong adavance. Also the Vree also have the perfect anti-Vong ships, They have anti-mattter shredder cannons that fire at an extremly fast rate that could give the vong alot of trouble.

The nature of fanaticism

Post by Master of Ossus »

Your suggestion that the YV would ally themselves with the Drakh is just stupid. In the first place, the YV do not need the Drakh, and in the second place the Drakh worship shadows, false gods to the YV. Religious fanatics refuse to accept the legitimacy of any other faith, and the YV are fairly intolerant even for zealots.
