The Sith Empire wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell. A standard Sith Interdictor-class Cruiser was 600 meters long and had 20 quad laser cannons and four turbolaser cannons. Considering the fact that in more modern times, ships as small as the Millenium Falcon fielded quad lasers, the armament is pretty light in comparison to a modern warship. Four turbolasers are hardly a match for something like an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, whose eight heavy turbolaser batteries could outgun an Interdictor before the Destroyer's standard armament of some 50 turbolasers and additional point-defense weaponry is even taken into account. It'd be a pretty stacked fight, with the Galactic Empire's arsenal on top.

What numbers? After falling through this "rift in time" they would have no worlds to recruit from! And those weapons systems would be 4,000 years out of date. Don't you think the damage yield would have improved just a little bit? Also, WHY can't the Sun Crusher be used any more? Does the Empire now have a " No Superweapon" policy? And how do they stand a better chance than the rebels? The rebels are using modern tech and are recruiting from the worlds of that time period.

empire would probably win in space with superior fire power but what about on the ground? dark jedi can be pretty powerful against troopers.
(what if the sith empire had thrived for 4000 years not changing anything)
sun crusher was thrown into a gas giant to prevent it from being used

Yes, dark jedi would be powerful, but even they would have had a hard time fighting AT-ATs and T4s. Vehicle were only common for the Mandolorians at that point, the Sith had virtually none.

Also, the Sun fire was destroyed by being sent into the Maw. And if we're using your "destroyed so can't be used" principle, then where are you getting this Sith fleet from?

in kotor there is the option of saving the starforge to build your own empire. if the sith were to survive, the star forge would probably be with them

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #25 on:** March 01, 2008, 09:57:10 PM »

1. The Empire had large and powerful tanks, quite capabe of killing any enemy tank or infantry unit sent to kill them.
2. Most Force-users weren't that powerful and could be easily taken down by a relatively small group of troops
3. Why would they survive 4,000 years and NOT change tech? Do they want to die?
4. If the Sun Crusher is gone, then the main threat against them is the NR or GA, which is, in some ways, a lot worse.

It was stated in KotOR II that the Star Forge was destroyed, regardless of whatever ending you played in the first one. Star Forge isn't gonna be a factor 4000 years later.

and empire can always kill them using orbital bombardment.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #30 on:** March 03, 2008, 06:10:03 PM »

Unless the jedi decide to sling the fleet hundreds of light years into deep space

Isamu · « **Reply #31 on:** March 03, 2008, 06:51:39 PM »

orbital bombardment isn't precise enough. thats like trying to hit 1 person in a crowd with a shotgun 40 yards away

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #32 on:** March 03, 2008, 08:00:38 PM »

Orbital bombardment is plenty percise.

Isamu · « **Reply #33 on:** March 03, 2008, 08:13:23 PM »

doesn't sound like it from what i have heard. i could be wrong though. it sounds more like mass area affect

Slornie · « **Reply #34 on:** March 03, 2008, 08:17:45 PM »

Exactly. A large mass area effect, you dont need to precisely target your enemy - Just aim it roughly where they are

Isamu · « **Reply #35 on:** March 03, 2008, 08:20:14 PM »

okay pretend you are worried about collateral damage now what?

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 03, 2008, 08:33:51 PM »

Why would you be worried about collateral damage when facing an army of evil sith?

Isamu · « **Reply #37 on:** March 03, 2008, 08:42:44 PM »

it depends. besides couldn't an army of evil sith stop a bombardment?

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #38 on:** March 03, 2008, 09:19:15 PM »

Most force-users aren't that powerful! How do you think the clones easily wiped out most of their Jedi commanders and those in the temple so easily. Besides, that army of evil sith would be fighting an army of AT-ATs
