Skynet discovers Coruscant

Post by **Coyote** » 2002-12-11 05:26pm

The Terminators would be able to dish out a lot of damage in the initial stage of the assault but once the people of Coruscant regrouped they'd hit back hard and smash the invaders.

Think about it; the Termies are going to steal civilian transports; fine. And do what? An al-Qaeda kamikaze?

The groups on Coruscant that will fight back will be:
Cops
Local Gangs
the Jedi
Bounty Hunters

Groups that may or may not be on Coruscant but can be there quickly:
Large numbers of BattleDroids.

You say the BattleDroids are useless against Terminators. Are they? First off, there will be millions more of them, secondly they'll have spare parts and power available immediately, and third even if they are less capabale they can still keep the Termies busy while the other above-mentioned groups maneuver for better positions on them.

And remember, there are airborne BattleDroids and I don't care how badass the Termies are...
"...They're no match for (shielded!) Droidekas!"

Terminators will have surprise; this will be negated by the fact that not only do they not know the terrain, they cannot even figure out the languages or download info from the computers to guide them.

Also bear in mind that Senators, as seen in the movie, travel to and from Coruscant with honor guards made from their local planetary militias (such as we saw with the Naboo fighters). If each Senator has at least four escort fighters, and there are some 10,000 or so Senators, that'll be 40,000 possible combat aircraft at least of the capability of the Naboo fighters or Droid fighters. Termies would be easy pickings for these ships. Especially Termies in stolen air taxis or similar speeders.

Jedi and Bounty Hunters, with the Senatorial militias, would be able to mop this up, once they had the chance to react.

The Terminators would lose, they are far too outnumbered.

This scenario is stupid. It's obvious they'll lose, so he's just trying to say they'll put up a good fight before they're crushed and the counter-attack reduces Earth to ash. Sorry, but that's still a loss.

Hello? Coruscant is the capital of the Republic... They'd be idiots to not have a defense force there. As stated before, civillians with blasters would be more than match than them. Lets not even consider the ships. Even the Trade Federation's droid army would be more than match for these fools.

...and add to Coruscant's forces the fire- and manpower of Black Sun...

Since SW technology is far beyond the tech level of Skynet it wouldn't be a problem to scan the Terminators comm frequencies and use a droid control ship to create desinformative transmissions or simple "force them to obey.

I think one of Coruscant's flight control computer is more advanced then Skynet.

Something of geurilla methods are required, but by doing so they can kill hundreds of millions and leave a lasting impression, before being stopped. THAT IS MY POINT.

Coruscant has one additional advantage, they are used to droids. The terminators would not get a km away before they trip over the built in droid detectors of shops, houses and similar locations. The fact that they use radio communication makes them easy to track and even easier to jam. The Coruscant traffic control system would track their HK's and the police would be there to ask them for their driving licences before they would even start moving to a new part of the city.
In the end the high firepower, the HUGE numeric advantages and the sensor capabilies of Star Wars would make it a very short fight.

"In the morning hours an unknown organization managed to smuggle a larger number of stealthed combat droids into a low level area of Coruscant. Security forces were working for hours to eleminate all of these strange machines..."

Coruscant has a defense force. The green jacketed guards were seen all over the Jango Fett and Zam Wesell mini. At the least, those fellows were armed with blasters.

Try and watch the movies, Solo's pistol blowing huge frickin craters in a rock/concrete wall, an blaster blowing a door up on the DS:

Proof that lighter blasters would destroy a terminator? (SBDs were seen to survive at least one blaster hit and carry on fighting. And to me, the SBDs appeared slightly less impressive than a T-800.)

Solo's blaster, it's a pistol, a heavy pistol but the difference is not magnitudes apart.
And SBD's have way heavier armor than T-800's which is an endo-skeleton which is not much harder than todays armor.

And do you not accept that the kill ratio would be massively in favor of the terminators? Civilians, especially civilians under pressure, are typically not very accurate. Terminators on the other hand are exceedingly accurate. Even when firing from the hip.

I doubt they'd get much killed at all, they'd evacuate the area and send in the army.

To counter T-1000 you can simply bring in aliens with different senses. It's stated in EU that Camasi or whatever you call them use smell as their primary sense, and i doubt a T-1000 can reproduce the scent of human. Given how many alien species exist on Corruscant a mixed group of human and alien forces would be able to detect a T-1000 in the midst.

This SS goon is simply flogging a dead horse. The wall of ignorance surrpunding him is amazing. Time and time again ppl here have pointed out to him that even if a T-800 could comandere a civy speeder flying how many KM off the ground, it's UNARMED.

The dead thread has returned! Argh!

Anyway, if dogs can sense Terminators (even from a distance, as when Max picked up the T-1000 from outside the house), it's goddamned bloody obvious that SW droid sensors and bio-sensors can do it.

Hell, they'd probably just put restraining bolts on the Terminators and sell them as custom human-looking droids for use as assassins or sex toys.

Hmm...

*Human approaches with restraining bolt and attempts to attach it to the terminator*

*Terminator tears the interfering human's head off with one swift stroke*

I'm content to let this admittedly dead thread die for now... however I'll probably re-make it when T3 comes out (if this board is still in existance then) including some T-X's.

One word (okay 3): Restraining Bolt Gun. It worked against the Borg...
Hmm I wouldn't mind getting a reprogrammed ex-Terminator as a sex toy....

You could program in a 1% chance that the thing would kill you during intercourse to make it more exciting.

Welcome to Stardestroyer.net. As long as you dont belive in a literal interpretiation of major religious works, bad debate, or that ST>SW, youll get along just fine here.

As for the Terminators as Sex Toys- Pefectly acceptable, were all sick, here.
