Why the YUUZHAN VONG feared the EMPIRE | Star Wars Legends Lore 

*death star gets destroyed by 5 x-wings*

Star destroyers are entirely fucked against starfighters because they don't have PD.

Ποιο ήταν το 3ο υπερόπλο της αυτοκρατορίας ? Τα 2 death stars, και ποιο άλλο ? Ρωτάω επειδή δεν γνωρίζω (ή δεν μου έρχεται ποιο είναι).

none of those have anything over the force.

against thousands of systems, civilisations and cultures. The civil war in star wars is much larger than we can see in the movies, it's a galaxy wide conflict. Also not all superweapons, dreadnaughts and fleets were available everywhere all the time which is exactly the weakness the rebels used.

And the reason he couldn't crew em was because he needed to ensure internal security over the wider empire.

That’s why I’m the final years of the Empire they created the Tie D droid variant of Tie Fighter.

Does that make him a hero in a f'ed up way?

@@untitled795 It depends. Do you view sacrificing liberties in exchange for protection as just?

@@theInsaneCashew honestly no, but hence the “fucked up” part. He doesn’t do it consensually is what I was trying to get at I guess Edit: typo

Only because he was backed into a corner, a corner he wouldn't have been in to begin with if he hadn't been so incompetent.

The way I’ve always read Borsk, this was still a political move and only to save face.

I'm pretty sure Thrawn, was fighting against the Vong during the original trilogy

@@stephenmatousek6009 I meant during The New Jedi Order series.

I wouldn't be so sure. Early on I think the Vong would have the edge until Thrawn can learn more about them and exploit their weaknesses (namely their pride).

23r0 Gaming- A Chiss admiral had already beaten them, and with imperial resources, Thrawn could have quickly learned ways to defeat them. If he new near nothing about them, he could have set up several small skirmishes where he could learn their tactics, and then retreated. After that, he would probably have a plan of attack set up, and would implement it

@@wilsonriley1856 I'm aware of that, but the point is that I imagine the Vong having at least a small string of early victories until Thrawn could determine how to counter them.

Asking the real questions

Like a true man

watta bout thrawn with a mullet and handle bar mustache

i'd rather imagine him with a beard

clean shaved fits thrawn better.

They were vulnerable because of plot

Kind of like Caesar's Legion from Fallout New Vegas.

On the other hand, Vong dovin basals work by creating black holes. This means that they can tank any individual shot, up to and including a direct hit from the Death Star super laser (because nothing can escape a black hole). How the forces the galaxy overcame dovin basals was by taking advantage of the fact that dovin basals can't create enough voids to literally cover the whole ship and it's also hard to move those voids around. So I still think that at least some Imperial superweapons could easily be countered by the Vong. Although the Death Star could still be useful in this regard as a mobile sniper unit to pick out ships that have already deployed their voids, or by forcing the Vong to turtle up to prevent getting zapped by the Death Star.

Agree. When I first watched original trilogy, and then shortly after read of Wong invasion, my first thought was; Empire know, and they were preparing for them, by build massive fleets of ships specialized in capital ship combat, not to mention super-weapons that could kill world-ships.

@@rohenthar8449 This gives sense to another theory. Why wasn't Palpatine doing anything to improve the conditions of his people? Simple. He was too busy spending all money in the military so that he could fend off the Yuuzhan Vong. Spending money on other things than the military would have just decreased the chances of the empire winning against the Vong. He basically sacrificed billions of people by making them live in poverty, while saving trillions from the invasion.

@@Jestiii Yeah palpatine was a hero

@@NotNormal654in a messed up way and to a partial extent. yes.

yes

Absolutely.

The rebels are just that, rebels. They created a power vacuum and tried to fill it with a corrupt/unstable government

I mean it is. Just like real life if u read history.

Further proof the empire did nothing wrong

Wookie roaring to the sky in defiance after he saved civilian lives instead of his own while a damn moon is about to fall on him......

You realize it wasn't called the "Empire Era" it was the "Galatic Civil War Era"

@@redmafiapanda509 I know it is generally called that within the lore, I just kinda like calling it The "Imperial Era" once in a while! :)

@@lukeskywalkerthe2nd773 that is actually the official name like the Clone Wars Era it won't be called the Republic Era although some do that's not the official name

@@redmafiapanda509 Very true! :)

Nah, definitely not

Even better. I READ the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise

What a generic comment

Palpatine did nothing wrong. Humanity First.

Yes i was right

@@isaiahmoreno3067 All hail your royal majesty!

Emperor, who would win? You or Onimi?

For the rebellion!!!!!!

Ground battle were definitely the weakness of the late stage empire. And given that by A New Hope all the Inquisitors were dead, they didn't have any true warriors besides Vader anymore, just soldiers. But, the Empires overwhelming power for space battles would have ended the Vong quickly, especially with Thrawn commanding the fleets and Vader leading the geound forces. However, I still think the Clone Wars era Old Republic would have defeated the Vong the easiest. The clone were far better soldiers than either the Empire's stormtroopers, or the New Republic's conscripted military, and there were waaaaaaaaaaay more Jedi who could have dealt massive casualties. Vong warriors would stand no chance against Mace Windu, Kenobi, Yoda, Ahsoka, or Anakin, and their batallions of Jango clones. Plus with Maul and Dooku being around, sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

@@mikegottschau4224 Vader isn’t s good commander for ground forces he’s s super soldier capable of destroying whole fleets st his prime which lets says it got to point. Of crises the empire would of course let him reach taking his limits out of his next suit snd improving it Even if he can affect or sense the force he could sense there sounds they make he could kill entire armies bring down entire fleets of ships Vader is s god in terms of ditch he hold the most potential of sll

@@mikegottschau4224 the Empire could have defeated the vong by pure logistics alone What good is a ground assault if you can't reinforce your troops?

Vader relied on the Force. The Force was basically useless against the Vong. Oh dear.

​​​@@tompearce5418Vader was a Aith Lord .The dark-side of the force in particular was extremely effective in combating the vong as showcased by jaina solo and others

I mean the Emperor knew and worked with the Chiss who would have known of the Vong. He probably didn't expect them to arrive anytime soon, but wanted some insurance in case they sought to disrupt his trade routes and such.

Outbound flight. He knew the Vong were a threat but that's not why he wanted an empire. He wanted to rule forever through tyranny making sure any being Jedi or being couldn't stop him is all that mattersn

Classic x wing

If they invaded right after the Black Fleet Crisis the New Republic wouldn't stand a chance. Though I still think the different Imperial Factions would have probably cooperated with the New Republic in that case.

@@natedouglass5119 i know this is an old comment but i just wanted to put my comment here, Dave Filoni was actually planning on bringing the Vong during The Clone Wars but due to the show being canceled and only making it to 7 seasons instead of 8, we never saw them

That would be awesome to watch.

ur pfp sucks

ewok40k Ahh, yes. If only the Empire had won at Endor...

@@jawafreak230 if only the Reich had won at Normandy tbh.

@@user-vd6ec7kx8x the empire had much more reason and backbone to exist

Don't forget stargate!

But nothing beats Warhammer 40k

@@SabeSilver Yes, we know. That sense of superiority is not going to make people want to join your niche fandom, though.

Up rising in legends no I don’t think so but u had one robot the most dangerous type and it’s the one that fought with the Mandalorian to get baby yoda put itself into the Death Star to make a robot rebellion but it was destroyed in new hope and the galaxy that the Vong came from had a war with 2 AI and the galaxy was destroyed because of it and they became the vong because of that war and hated all AI sense then and why they went to the main Galaxy so eh kinda. Also yea I think it’s something with there programming but also not cause c3po is a thing. Also I think a little droid uprising happened but not during or after the clone wars it was before but fact check that

There have been moments where Droids have done such things. There are instances of droids having free will (Droid Bounty Hunters being the most obvious) but there was an attempted genocide of all organics. Search up Directive 7

No ,most of the times droids are never subject to great innovations in regards to personal sentience and even greater intelligence .They retain the same level of intelligence for some reason for thousands upon thousands of years .I don't think there is something that is like the scientific method in the star wars galaxy due to the mind-bending lack of progress in technology despite great lengths of time being passed in the galaxy .Though there are instances of hyper-intelligent droids created by advanced civilizations that had went extinct a long time ago .I can't exactly recall the precise name but they did develop the eternal fleet which vitiate had gotten his hands on and Gemini Droids but they were all destroyed by the Jedi and the republic

IG-88 tried to hijack the second Death Star as part of a plan to start a droid revolution, but it didn't work out well because, well, the second Death Star was destroyed.

Nah. In halo no ship looks that good except that small one, the banshee. But it still doesn't look better than any ship in sw.

None of the halo ships are good looking. Too many sharp angles with cumbersome builds.

I would to see clone troopers vs citadel forces

Shepard vs Master Chief

Spartans would 1 sided win

@@adamorick2872 IDK Shepard can't seem to stay dead

@@Alexthe360Great Chief

CIS. A flexible, fast and easily replaceable fleet with heavy firepower and swarms of advanced AI starfighters (mainly Tri-Droids).

If we are talking about large factions, then Chiss Ascendacy. Minor factions well... my favourite SW species' fleet I guess

If I could choose in which factions I would like to be an fleet admiral then I would choose the republic and the empire 'cause those were the 2 most powerful and strongest factions.

New Republic or the CW Republic, excelent ships and starfighters

Hi

That battle depends solely on who gets the first shot off.

@@robertnelson9599 Well its fairly certain the infinity wont be able to tank the super laser. But Im not so certain if the Eclipse wont be able to take a Mac salvo. Well there is no way to know.

@@TheDude50447 If we take legends numbers then the Eclipse wouldn't even notice the Super Mac

@@karlfranzemperorofmandefil5547 Which Legends numbers? Because there were plenty of pretty damn low numbers in Legends. Like an Executor failing to kill a handful of people with a sustained orbital bombardment of Yavin 4. Meanwhile the Infinity's shields withstood the ionization effect of a point blank supernova and its MACs fire rounds that mass as much as a UNSC frigate at 50% lightspeed.

@@MrMcp1995 50%??? More like 5%.

That depends: do the Covenant get any of the halo rings? Those things alone would wipe out not only the Vong, but their weaponry.

@@z3r0_35 I would say no, the covenant couldn't even get their hands on one that didn't get imedeatly anahalated.

The covenant are more powerful in every aspect, they would definitely win. But not that easily, the vong won't go down without a fight.

covenant

the covenant don't even have mastery over the galaxy, not nearly in the same way as the new republic even in their shambles did. Humanity with only 2500 AD technology(and a handful of colony world's worth of population) almost came close to beating them(the covenant). What makes you think an amalgamation of fleets of star ships that could make high charity's defense force look like a single regiment who can barely stand a chance against the Vong? IDK where you're thinking. The covenant don't even have control over their weapon systems. The new republic won the war through innovation and arms' races. The covenant can't even figure out how to fire their ships correctly(from the books, cortana fires their plasma cannons like a sentinel beam, as originally intended), let alone innovate to that extent

Something I always wish got covered in much greater detail... Clawcraft FTW!

I'm reading it now

Great the articles are so shocking it would make great content for a couple of videos. Also here is a link to a jedi council forum where a bunch of people have been analysing the articles:boards.theforce.net/threads/cult-encounters-and-supernatural-encounters-even-more-new-legends-material.50047631/page-30

That's not how democracy/senate works though

@@nerramedivh3563 Ah yes democracies can't fight while dictatorships can... that's why the axis won the second world war...

I believe Thrawn is not the only one who have the brilliant mind like him..... imagine there is actually a lot of them in the Empire and Thrawn team up with them to fight against the enemy..... they enemy is definitely screwed

Because humanity never met another sapient species/their remnants until The Covenant showed up in Harvest/Humanity found out about the Forerunners. If you see the progress of humanity pre to post Human- Covenant war you can see a lot of progress made. Plasma weaponry, shielding, more powerful capital ships, etc. All of that is reverse engineered from alien technology.

TheFi0r3 ok lol. Thanks man. That honestly makes a lot of sense

Stagnation?

UNSC is supposed to be a realistic depiction of Modern-day humanity as a tier 3 species 500 years from now.

Humanity had an almost 200 year period of peace after colonizing began. They had no need to out do another human faction in the military department which is why they still use ballistics weapons and just started really getting into energy based towards the middle of the war

UNSC Marines all the say. Sure, ONI is an evil shadow council at this point, but what little civilian life we see in Halo doesn't seem so bad (assuming we're referencing post war UEG), so I'll probably head off to a nice retirement some years later.

For the Emperor.
