Vong: don't mix tech and organic. Just no tech at all. Grievous: Hello There

No wonder Palpatine scared them. These would be his opening moves.

Strategy #1: Just let Eck deal with the Vong.

1:07 - None would happen if people only listened *THRAWN!*

an easily angered enemy is a predictable enemy. a predictable enemy is an enemy that's already lost

Jedi moralizing was so frustrating during the Vong war.

The one and most important strategy: Always have the high ground.

I think anyone would be driven insane fighting endless hordes of B-1 battledroids. I know I would

The whole thing could have been avoided if anyone actually talked to Thrawn. But failing that, the galaxy failed to understand the concept of a total war. When faced with utter annihilation, ALL bets are off. Orbital bombardment, bioweapons, nukes... All need to be available.

sir the vong are attacking the empire. tarkin : hold my beer.

9:29 - there, right there, you pointed out what really crippled the New Republic - Borsk Fey'lya. No other character epitomizes that the trope of obstructive bureaucrat. Hell, I'd argue that he did more damage to the New Republic, than even the best of its Vong's emplaced agents

Remember the defoilator from the clone wars? That would be devastating against them

The CIS created a heavy artillery weapon destroying only organic matter named the Defoliator

If the Emperor was still in command the vong would be absolutely devastated in my opinion especially if the Death Star 2 was intact as well as the hole fleet of 25,000 star destroyers

The Yuuzhan Vong War and the NJO is not only one of my absolute favorite parts of Star Wars, but one of my favorite parts of sci-fi in general. I think they were an excellent foil of the Star Wars Galaxy. They were the reverse of everything the Star Wars Galaxy stood for. Ruthless, religious, fanatical, uniform, etc. They put Galaxy into the greatest crisis itself. A big part of the problem with your strategies in this video is that you make them with 20/20 hindsight. The New Republic didn't and couldn't have known about their resource issues, religious ideology, etc. Many of the things you propose, you suggest with all the knowledge that was collected throughout the course of the books. In Destiny's Way Admiral Ackbar points out how we knew almost nothing about the Vong at the start of the war and blames much of the NR's poor response on the total failure of the intelligence community - something the leaders of those organizations don't even TRY to deny. I largely agree with your points about the weak response of the New Republic at the start and the unwillingness to respond with overwhelming force - but you do have to consider that large parts of the New Republic fleet was still bogged down on policing duty fixing regional issues, like the Caamas document crisis only a couple years prior. I totally agree with your points about bringing battle droid armies online from the old CIS. But we both know that because of when these books were written, it was not really known what had happened to those droid armies. I believe we had only seen the Phantom Menace at that point. Maybe Attack of the Clones. Another serious problem with your bioweapon that you do not address that is addressed in the books is blowback. Bioweapons, especially viruses are created by breeding the virus and releasing it into the wide. Viruses MUTATE. And viruses and bacteria etc reproduces TRILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS of times. There is no way you can promise the disease would not mutate and spread to the people of the Galaxy and leave it sterile in the end. Even the non-Jedi members of the High Council largely disagreed with the use of Alpha Red. On a final note, I do totally agree that Borsk Fey'lya's leadership was a mess but it was a mess that wasn't entirely his fault. Leia Organa and many Rebellion era leaders basically LET it get that way. They all resigned, retired or quit by this point. As a result, the few solid leaders left in the New Republic government were left without allies. People like Treibark, Cal Omas, Elegos A'kla were left without a strong power base. I don't mean to sound scathing. I think you make great videos and this was an interesting watch. I just don't quite agree with some of what you're saying here. Thanks for the uploads! I can't wait for more of your Thrawn's Revenge and Awakening of the Rebellion videos on your other channel!

DESTROYING the Vong with REASON and FACTS

The use of sith technobeasts would basically implement all strategies mentioned: a world ship becoming metallic the turning on them would cause morale to plummet.

So basically just World War One them to oblivion... Cool.

How to defeat the Vong; an interactive journey. 1 - stop the Jedi from letting the vong leadership escape 2 - kill the shit out of the vong 3 - stop letting the jedi be merciful Done, no more vong

1.Exterminatus 2.Deploy Capital Weaponry 3.Liberation Fleet 4.Escalate Area Denial 5.Execute request order ADEPTUS ASTARTES ULTRA

The Entechment plan is worse than a bioweapon from the point of view of the Jedi and the moral high ground. (You underestimate my power....) That would be a true cruel and unusual torture and war crime. Palpatine would have done it in five seconds.

I semi-agree on all of these. They all come from the idea that you ALREADY knew critical informations about the Vong, that the Republic took TIME to gather, and suffered while doing it.

Please do more on the Vong War. Maybe the Mission to Mukur.

Suggesting use of the Flood as a bioweapon is like using a flamethrower to deal with a break-in. It ends one problem and creates a bigger one.

Imagine refusing to bombard your enemy. The new republic is pretty much space Canada.

Bring back Geievous to obliterate them

1. T-70 X-Wing VS E-Wing 2. Nebula Star Destroyer VS Pellaon class Star Destroyer

One of the concerns brought up (in the novels ) about using bio weapons was the fear that the Vong , being masters of bio-tech on a completely other level than the republic, could reverse engineer the weapon and use it against the republic.

Yuuzhan Vong: I fear no man... Yuuzhan Vong: But that thing... *B1 BATTLEDROID* Yuuzhan Vong: It scares me...

With the budget of the core, the old CIS droids would devastate. Imagine having a bunch of commando droids, Magna guards, and droideka. The vulture droid numbers and all around performance would be destructive. The cost efficiency of the CIS is something to admire.

Capture some Yuuzhan Vong warriors and put them through entechment. Sure, sure, just capture them alive, how hard could it be to safely confine them and keep them from killing themselves?

Hey Eck, don't forget about the Orange Panthacs used by the New Republic - a platoon of B2 SBDs that, while activated on Mantessa, were able to hold back an incursion by a force of Vong Fire Breathers. Heck, they were even awarded a special commendation by the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance, Cal Omas, something noted to be an exceptionally rare honor for droids. If nothing else, the use of the Orange Panthacs shows that ex-CIS droid forces were at least somewhat used, just obviously not to the level they should have been. But, their contribution is certainly worth noting.

Don't listen to Disney, the Yuuzhang Vong is is canon to us. It was the only thing that made the empire look powerful

The Vong are basically a combination of the Locust, and the Reapers.

You are absolutely correct. I was literally screaming at the New Republic to do exactly those things throughout the entire series. Alpha Red was too little, too late, but I loved that it existed at all. Everyone in the Republic was trying to hard to be "not the Empire" that they were ignoring viable tactics that would have turned the tide in that war a lot sooner.

The time is near! Our Lord and Savior Valiant Class Superheavy Cruiser/BattleCruiser is coming

The xwing books by Micheal stackpole might be my favorite books of all time

Vs matchup Squad battle between Spartan 4s(Halo) vs Dark Trooper Mk3 (Star Wars)

I find it absolutely hilarious that the faction that included both Rebel and Imperial people and technology, including the main cast of the OT, got so badly destroyed by a faction that would've be done in by the CW-era, Unlimited Clankas, led-by-a-robot-with-TB, three warcrimes per episode-CIS.

The combination of bio weapons and droid armies work amazingly well. Drop defoliators on them using hyena bombers. Bog them down in upgraded B1’s or B2’s and drop defoliators on top of them. No friendly fire and utter devastation to vong infantry and vehicles. In addition, the vong will never use ion weaponry against the droids, their amphistaff weapons venom is useless, and we cannot forget that the droids have absolutely no fear. I believe this is the determining factor in the victory of the B2’s over the yuuzhan vong at the battle of mantessa. The vong met an enemy who no amount of psychological warfare or biological warfare would work against. The B2’s were the only thing colder, more emotionless, more genocidal, and more suicidal than the vong. They might be cut in half and have less armor but the B2’s are extremely strong and, barring plot weaponry, extremely resilient. Lost limbs or a torso may not stop a B2 meaning the vong will never quite be sure, is it really dead. It’s like police dogs, some A-hole will take hostages, shoot at police, and resist for hours if its a person. But once a dog is loose it’s a different story. They know that the dog doesn’t care about the hostages, the gun, the law, nothing matters to that dog other than clamping it’s jaws on the fugitive and bringing him down. That’s what the vong faced at mantessa, but a horde of them, that only want to kill, with guns, and wrist rockets. Gotta watch those wrist rockets...

Keep up the good work EckhartsLadder

I got an ad for a a charity right in the middle of Ech talking about the moral problems of using a bioweapon. I'm dying XD

Out of Star Wars lore but definitely feasible: Making space faring Cazadors and releasing those upon the Yuuzhan Vong.

Vs matchup Imperial light cruiser vs CR90 corvette

The battle droid thing especially makes a lot of sense. I guess the real world answer is that Ep I was just coming out when Vector Prime was released, and they didn't get those two together. Also, they wanted to show the Star Wars galaxy on the ropes, so an easy fix wouldn't have worked

#AskEck Viking mech squadron( Starcraft) vs VF-1 Valkyrie Variable fighter squadron( SDF Macross).

Oh lord, that entechment plan is just frightening. Edit: wait frightening is the wrong word. Brutal is the word I'm looking for.

Trillions of B2 Droids and Jango Fett Clones, Mandalorians, Chemical weapons and New Jedi Order would annihilate the Vong.

I love your ruthless fear tactics Eck!

I would have a great weekend, but I have work tomorrow lol. Love the vids man, keep pumping out the great content

Or just have a YVH attack a Vong warrior and have it stick a “Kick me” sign on it - the embarrassment alone would kill them! 🤣

I'm reading The Unifying Force right now. There is a part where Onimi uses an ooglith masquer to change his anatomy in order to look like one of Shimrra's Slayers, so I think the Vong can appear as anyone, not just humanoids. Just thought that was interesting, as it's something I've been thinking about since the Covenant vs. Vong video

How would the Yuuzhan Vong stand up to the Xenomorph? #askEck

Damn eck, the droid consciousness transfer idea is super cold

Loved your entechment idea ..quite harsh, but to the point

#askeck are there any intergalactic fast food restaurants in the Star Wars galaxy? Like an intergalactic chick fil a? Day 17

#AskEck Which SCP do you think would perfectly fit in the star wars or halo Universe?

Two words: Faro plague

The New Republic could have infested the world ships with nano-bots. Programming them to create all kinds of havoc. Also having a side effect of just generally freaking the Vong out with tiny robots in their midst. Great video!

Great vid i wana hear more on vong!

You're name's Justin?!? I never thought I could like this channel even more

You should do more videos about the vong, they seem really cool

Can't help but feel the reason why New Republic didn't go all out at the beginning of the invasion, was that they might have been thinking that the galaxy needed time to recover from the civil war and the peace treaty with the empire, and by the time the invasion begun both the new republic and the empire was shocked that it even happened

This title feels like something you'd see on some sort of Star Wars popular Magazine. I like it.

why is listening to this while grinding in a game so vibe worthy

Vs matchup Sgt. Johnson(Halo) vs Captain Rex(Star Wars)

Could you make a video about the jedi who survived order 66 and were still alive after the battle of endor?

Eck is right as usual. When trillions of lives, an entire galaxy wide, are in jeopardy, you need to use every arsenal at your disposal and go scorched earth by a near infinite magnitude, Jedi be damned... At the choice of life or possible extinction of life galaxy wide, I find it difficult that Jedi such as Luke would disagree.

I like the brutality tactics, the vong depended on brutality to work, and that falls apart when your less brutal than the enemy

Step 1: Use Monster Reborn to bring General Grevious back from the Graveyard Step 2: Give him a droid army Step 3: Accept their surrender

"Absolute Overwhelming Power" UN-LIMITED POWWWWAAAAA

I like how Ruthless you are Ek.

Love your excellent work eckhart ♥️ could you do a piece on the old warraider from galactica. You did many but can't find that one.

Can you do the Gray Paladins from coruscant nights? They're a Jedi faction that used blasters and other weapons one was so good that she was able to send one of her own bolts straight up an enemy's blaster barrel. They also believed in using the force as little as possible so they focused on other skills like martial arts and military tactics like guerrilla warfare, urban tactics, espionage, and infiltration.

The vong messed up the stat wars galaxy Great vid

So does this answer my question last video if Abeloth could destroy the Yuuzhan Vong

Imagine if somehow (maybe due to surviving Imperial Sith Acolytes or something) Belia Darzu's technovirus was deployed against the Yuuzhan Vong. Through the Force it might be possible to direct the nanovirus to only infect the Yuuzhan Vong instead of other species, and the result would be akin to Eck's Entechment plan: their worst nighmare delivered upon them. The Jedi would never allow it, but if they didn't have a say, it might have been possible.

I call uploading Vongs into droid bodies : Operation Keep Summer Safe.

4:05 - *bad idea* - who shall 'use' them after the war?(!)

I like how, you actually pronounce Yuzhan properly

Cool beanies!

#AskEck *Attempt 513* Do the Forerunners vs Warhammer 40k factions and time eras of the galaxy. This is never gonna stop until it happens Eckhartsladder.

Thanks for the tips eckhartsladder. Maybe I'll use them to beat them against those unworthy creatures.

You know I really like you and your channel a lot right? Love the Empire at war game. That really blows my mind, considering I started gaming with pockets full of quarters and an Atari that had less than 8 bits of graphics capability. Okay, onion on my belt story over... for today.😈

The Captions said hey guys this is eckharts slaughter

now that's the useful thing for battle droid

I'd love to see a video on your opinion of if the Yuuzhan Vong had invaded during Valkorion's rule of the Eternal Empire. (Pre or Post EE's Invasion of the known galaxy.)

The battle droid angle is pretty spot on. Using an army of literally war machines against a society of technophobes is probably the most effective form of conventional AND psychological warfare they could have used

You kick the Vong SQUARE IN THE "NADS" 😂!

Eck is just pulling a Thrawn this video

Easiest way to defeat the Vong Send in the Astartes.

The problem with trying to mess with the Vong's heads is that it is a long time before the New Republic really know enough about the Vong to be sure of doing it properly. By the time they really know how to do it, the Vong have pretty much taken Coruscant. The rest of it could work, but there's the simple fact that almost no-one in the New Republic is ruthless enough to do things like wiping out planets, at least not until they get desperate. Depending on how quickly you could get the foundries up and running, a Separatist-style droid army would be a very useful resource against the Vong. I don't remember all the ins and outs of your "What if the Vong invaded during the Clone Wars?" video, but someone like Grievous would wipe the floor with them.

Eck you are my favorite you tuber

Here a possibility for episode 9 that'll obviously not be implemented. In TLJ, the Supremacy is hyperspace rammed by the Raddus's into two halves. Despite the immense damage caused, it was suggested that the Supremacy was still somewhat functional. And now that Palpatine is confirmed to be in the new movie it might mean that the eclipse ship is canonized. What if Palpitatine seizes control of the first order, seeing them as utterly incompetent and then merges the Supremacy and the Eclipse together into a single mighty ship with absurd capabilities. The two halves of the Supremacy would be smoothened and managed until they are of equal mass and then they sandwich the Eclipse between the two halves. It now has interdiction capabilities and a devastating superlaser combined with the 'long' range super heavy turbolasers, immense manufacturing capabilities and firepower of the Supremacy. You get to choose the name of my theoretical ship. Like I said do not expect this from the new movie at all. I'm just giving you an interesting possiblity.

Droid Death Squads armes with Gas and flamethrowers

So basically: leave ethics at the door

The republic wouldn't have done as badly if the Jedi had taken a more aggressive posture in the beginning of the war

Even ignoring the moral issues involved in using bio-weapons to commit genocide, I'd be too terrified that a bio-weapon could mutate until it turned against me.
