Vader and the Emperor had their little empire going for a scant twenty five years, and they lost every single time they encountered a whiny, half-trained Jedi in a spaceship.

BUT WHAT A RIDE

Vir had a few good ones as well.

And he did.

My favorite quotes were from Kosh.

If the Centauri and Narn fight a great civilization could fall.
Yes
Which one? The Centauri or the Narn?
Yes

Kosh

"The avalanche has already started, it´s too late for the pebble to vote"

Or something like that

Titantic is still by a long shot the best selling movie of all time.

So? Star Wars has been consistently popular for 27 years and counting. It's a classic, which Titanic probably isn't. And Star Wars is far more a part of popular culture than Titanic.

Regardless, the Empire was repeatedly defeated in battle by foes with inferior numbers and firepower.

So has the Imperium...didn't you ever play Fire Warrior?

Recall when the Enterprise fired a volley of torps at the sphere and destroyed it right off...without Picard going "hurr....attack the sphere HERE!"

The little sphere is a Borg shuttle. I reckon it can't stand up to the Big E's quantum torpedoes.

As for warpspeed....how often do Starfleet vessels fight at faster than light speeds? (Except when they are running like the pansies that they are)

The phaser is a beam of energy fired through a warp tunnel. Eh, something like that.

Well, I think it's a given that the Astartes could curb-stomp anything the GE has on the ground. In space I think the Empire would win, but, unlike the Federation, the Imperium would let the Empire know they had been in a fight.

I doubt that. I'm fairly certain Imperium capital ships couldn't be taken out by a single fighter crashing into it.

That's the best explanation I've heard for quite a while.

I'm pretty sure phasers can't be used at warp speed. Neither can cloaking devices (that's probably due to power requirements)

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Is this still going?

It still flies in the face of "Borg invincible to bog-standard Feddie weapons"

...what?

Quiet you. All you know about WH40K comes from Dawn of War and wiki articles.

Hey man, I've played Battlefleet Gothic. I obviously know what I'm talking about.

Which is why I said the Imperium would sure as Hell let the GE know they had been in a fight(Unlike the STverse, which could be conquered on a long weekend). Imperium Vessels, especially those from the Great Crusade/Dark Age, are on par with Imperial Starfleet warships. The Problem is that the GE has the advantage in speed, method of travel(No warp issues for us!), and can turn them out of production lines much quicker than the Adeptus Mechanicus. Hell, the Best Imperium vessels are 10,000 years old. While the GE is technbologically stagnant, at least it's vessels tend to be technological refinements of previous classes, while the Imperium is on a slow backslide.
