this is split from the favorite playable faction topic. this is a discussion on if the sith empire from the kotor games about 4000 years ago could stand a chance against the stuff around today.

Shouldn't this be in Star Wars Discussion?

it could but it doesn't really matter unless arbiter wants me to move it.

How the hell could ships with 4000 year old technology possibly beat the "modern" ships? Thats like telling a fucking archer to run at an Abrams tank.

Or the Ewoks trying to defeat the Empire........ wait.

Corey · « **Reply #5 on:** March 01, 2008, 04:15:14 PM »

The Ewoks had two things helping them:
-Rebel Commandos
-The Stormtrooper effect

Either way, large rocks and flying logs will always pose a danger to regular people dressed in something as strong as saran wrap, whereas the Sith ships wouldn't even be able to penetrate a "modern" ship's shields without a massive amount concentrating on one target.

star forge?
the star forge built whatever the commander wanted. sith interdictors were built from it, but were originally republic ships. with this in mind, they could effectively steal ships from the empire in the same way the harbinger was stolen and steal the specs for it and amake the star forge produce them. there would be no other way.

Then simply destroy the Star Forge, problem solved, if a 4000 year-old fleet could do it, it wouldn't be too hard

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #8 on:** March 01, 2008, 07:00:39 PM »

Death Star. Or better yet, Sun Crusher!

Isamu · « **Reply #9 on:** March 01, 2008, 08:36:51 PM »

the task is finding it becuase i can imagine it would be hidden like it was, getting to it undetected with such a large attack force would be incredibly hard and then there is the problem of getting past probably half of the total fleet powers being used to defend it.

Corey · « **Reply #10 on:** March 01, 2008, 08:57:46 PM »

Umm? Why would they need to go undetected? They could easily destroy ANYTHING the Sith threw at them.

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #11 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:17:04 PM »

A Sith Interdictor can't be more than half an SD's length! And as I said, a SUN CRUSHER could easily kill it. Or a Death Star. Which they couldn't build with the star forge, since it's too large.

Isamu · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:26:52 PM »

but they could build sun crushers and hold the galaxy at ransom

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:30:01 PM »

They would have to STEAL one first. And how will they do that? They won't. They would need to either steal one or storm the Maw installation. They wouldn't be able to steal one, since you can't stop one. And they wouldn't be able to steal plans from the Maw, because it is protected by four ISDs, mark IIs I believe, and they don't have a single ship that can come close to matching one in combat. They lose.

they could steal designs. and besides the planet that orbits the starforge's star gives off an emp that no ship can get by.

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:36:13 PM »

Steal designs from where, they were only at the Maw!!! And the emp field won't stop the missile the Sun Crusher sends at the at the star, from well outside the field (that thing has a very long range).

Corey · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:37:14 PM »

If they're stealing designs then it completely defeats the purpose of this debate. The whole idea is that the technology at the time was very inferior to the "modern" ships.

Isamu · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:38:11 PM »

when the sun crusher was used in the nebula and the corulag (i think) system, they were pretty much right in front of the star. and emp shuts down everything and besides the suncrusher cannot be accessed. neither can a deathstar

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:40:42 PM »

At Caridia, Kype fired it from outside Caridia's orbit! And, since it's habitable, fairly far away from the star. And the Arbiter is right. If the Sith were using Imperial Technology, they would just be an offshoot of the Empire!

Isamu · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:42:44 PM »

once again the suncrusher cannot be used anymore. and also the sith won't need imperial tech. they have everything they need. it may be basic but there are missiles, turbolasers, and laser cannons available. they stand a hell of a better chance against the empire than the rebellion did. they also have better production capabilities and numbers
