Lol I forgot about that
The Emperor and the Emperor of man could have been old Collage Roomies by all indications
I see these two Empires REALY hitting it off
I see Space Marines and Stormys out on the Range, The Stormys wanting that Armor, The Marines wanting those guns
I can see the Emperor of man and Papy both telekenictly playing Golf, talking about how the Kids are doing and ordering the destruction of the Commonweath
Seriously with the Imperium backing up the Empire... Who could they NOT take on?

hmm, a meeting of 40K IOM with any of the others.
Inquisitor: "Worship the God Emperor of Mankind and be saved"
Everyone else: "The who?"
Inquisitor to Space marines, titan legions, imperial guard etc.: "Imperial Inquisition! Burn the Heathan Scum!"
general background noises of screams, bolter fire and general blood splatter.
and thats if the inquisition is feeling nice, which down't happen too often

Imperium of man and SW empire
On the face of it they have much in common, and indeed I can see many people's view that they would get on. However one must bear in mind that first and foremost the inquistion would insist on having the oppertunity to examine both Vader and the Emporer, and any other Dark Force users in their employ. They would be looking for signs of possesion and loss of control, that the 'Force' had brought about a change in a persons personality making them, for example more violent.
Vader.... Lets see, goes from admittadly arrogant but still essentially Good Kid too (I.E Anakin) to Vader all because he fell victum to the influance of the dark Side of the Force. Does this hint at Demonic possesion as a part of the Dark Side of the force?
Already then we start to see fractures appear in the alliance and they continue to spread, can you see the Imperium accepting anyone being an independent head of a galaxy wide Empire calling himself Emporer?
No My friends the alliance is not so easy to imagine it has holes and gaps, Gaps that can be exploited and made to grow, and their exist within the 40K universe just the species to see this, just the species to maybe see the flaws and exploit them, when they need to, this alliance is weaker than it at first appears. I forsee a shaky alliance starting well, but slowly the stresses become more apparent and when/if the Eldar are in need... it breaks apart.
Why might the Eldar interfere, many times many reasons, if they could break the alliance apart, and aid the Rebellion the Rebellion will owe them a Debt, and the Farseer's of the Eldar like to have people owing them debts... at least one Navigator family within the Imperium owes the Eldar a Debt, and the Eldar have used this Debt 6 times to prevent catastrophe... they have one more call up. maybe it's time to gather new debts...
Vader.... Lets see, goes from admittadly arrogant but still essentially Good Kid too (I.E Anakin) to Vader all because he fell victum to the influance of the dark Side of the Force. Does this hint at Demonic possesion as a part of the Dark Side of the force?

No the Emperor is smarter than that(The Emperor not the God Emperor), This is the same guy who manvoired the entire Jedi order plus the couple of thousands of Senators into doing EXACTLY what he wanted.Already then we start to see fractures appear in the alliance and they continue to spread, can you see the Imperium accepting anyone being an independent head of a galaxy wide Empire calling himself Emporer?
Papletine would happly trade Vadar as a sacfice to optain the services of the Imperium
Think about it this way Skelron, The Empire has massive amounts of ships, a stable galalxy free of the plauges of the Warp, untold richs and a manfuacturing Capacity that is rivaled only by CW and they have SIX Galaxys and still are not that far ahead of the Empire
Furthermore the Imperium has tons of useful and intresting technologys plus a Ruler who knows how useful the Empire would be just as the Empire knows how useful the Imperium is.
The Eldar could try all they want but if Papy is behind this, if he WANTS it the Allance to Succded it can and will
He's played second class fiddle before don't forget that...

More on 40K
Now then I want to know what the other parts of this discussion would view of the Eldar, can you imagine for example Sheridan's reaction first time he see's an Eldar show up...
'Damn it I thought the First Ones had all left!'
Or The Federation Captain trying to explain to the Eldar Farseer why the Human/Federation way is better...(They always do after all) 'Mon-Keigh, I have felt and thought more in a day than you will in your life time, my mind as a Child Grasped concepts your cleverest Scientists would fail to comprehend, do not tell me of your ways supperiority, for you are as Children, grasping at a universe you cannot hope to understand...'
Come on People theres more to 40K than the Imperium of man, no matter how much fun being able to say 'Exterminus' is...

Oh I freely admit he would, no doubt about it... but that wasn't the point I was making well not directly. (I'll admit rereading my post it did come out as you interpreted it sorry)I ment to say that exposure to the Dark Side of the Force corrupted and Altered Vader. The Inquistion would have no problems with WHO Vader is... but would be worried at the change that becoming a Sith made in Vader. Or Rather what these Changes hinted at as too the Nature of the Dark Side of the Force, it isn't Vader himself but the change in a person that becoming a dark Sider causes.Mr Bean wrote:No the Emperor is smarter than that(The Emperor not the God Emperor), This is the same guy who manvoired the entire Jedi order plus the couple of thousands of Senators into doing EXACTLY what he wanted.Already then we start to see fractures appear in the alliance and they continue to spread, can you see the Imperium accepting anyone being an independent head of a galaxy wide Empire calling himself Emporer?

Nobody out manouver's the Eldar. That Debt I talked about was started before the Founding of the Imperium. The Eldar saw they would need the services of the Navigator family seven times, in the future and so acted, at the time of the setting of most of the 40K fluff... (And taking in account the events of Farseer the book where the Debt was brought up) They had traded in 6 of them, thats several thousand years of planning...Think about it this way Skelron, The Empire has massive amounts of ships, a stable galalxy free of the plauges of the Warp, untold richs and a manfuacturing Capacity that is rivaled only by CW and they have SIX Galaxys and still are not that far ahead of the Empire

The Emporer may want to keept the alliance up... but he's not playing with the Rebublic anymore, the Rebublic was corrupt, the defender's of it... had become arrogant and complacent. The Imperiam is suspicious of everyone and everything, it'll take all of Palpy's skill to keep them in check normally... especially in light of the suspicions they will have about the Dark Side, when/if a race of people who are called Subtle by the Inquistion, who even Deamon Princes respect for their cunning and subtlety in manipulating events enter's the picture... can Even Palpy keep up?
what about the roving Tyranid hordes and the Chaos forces

Ohh Roving Chaos and Nid's they are a major randomn element, they may well force cooperation between the Feds, B5 and the Commonwealth. (Well more so than they would originally have anyway) but of B5 and the feds I doubt they have the power or the will to resist. Unsure on the Commonwealth, they might have the power, but do they have the will do too what is necersary?

What? you mean the CW has anything near the industrial raw power of the empire? Where?Mr Bean wrote:Think about it this way Skelron, The Empire has massive amounts of ships, a stable galalxy free of the plauges of the Warp, untold richs and a manfuacturing Capacity that is rivaled only by CW and they have SIX Galaxys and still are not that far ahead of the Empire

*shrug* I dunno, I mean the imperial fleet at ANH equalled half the destrucive power of the DS's main gun and before TESB they had nearly doubled in strenght, thats not something to take lightly.Mr Bean wrote:Its Pred-Thud so its possible, if we add in the Magag too I guessWhat? you mean the CW has anything near the industrial raw power of the empire?

And easily building the deathstars in secret and so on too.

Warhammar 40k has many races I still have not mentioned, those crazy orks and their waaagh rampages for one, NTM the dark eldar who would torture the hell out of anyone who opposes themOhh Roving Chaos and Nid's they are a major randomn element, they may well force cooperation between the Feds, B5 and the Commonwealth.

One of the reasons this one is so intresting is because there are so many strong races out there in 40k who nomraly are to busy beating on each other to notice anything elseWarhammar 40k has many races I still have not mentioned, those crazy orks and their waaagh rampages for one, NTM the dark eldar who would torture the hell out of anyone who opposes them

like the fact the imperium and Chaos hate each other's guts but are entrenched in conflict, this addition of new battlegrounds would give them other places to wreckOne of the reasons this one is so intresting is because there are so many strong races out there in 40k who nomraly are to busy beating on each other to notice anything else

Well playing around with your ULR doesnt seem to help, there was a * on the end of it. Now that I think about it though, I dont think anglefire allows for remote linking.Sea Skimmer wrote:Youe second link doesnt work because your not going it correctly.
