why bother in an exchangte when you can outmaneuver and conquer your opposition?

1. superiority in weapons and numbers+ being ahead in tech and military, industry and manpower, will simply yield favors in w40k Imps favor... (aside from constant training and expertise) ^^

name factions of the Gal Empire that have such an experienced military-industrial complex as the w40k imp,,,

2. SW GE is far less unified than w40k gal imp, simply because

a) the size

b) no real outer threat to unite them in opposition to w40k Imp that has to face enormous threats at every corner.

next argument: Fleets: w40k ships in general have, for corresponding classes, ~ 10 times more crew and are far larger, which also means they house bigger weaponry as there is f.e. more space to put bigger generators or bigger projectile weapons on the ships, and you have far more potential fighters for boarding maneuvers.

sidenote: as to blaster vs lasgung: it is merely a numbers advantage thing, the blaster might offer more energy on the target, yet imp will have fewer, less trained soldiers and the blasters do not pierce the target, you cannot kill the same target thrice. thus imp guard will be more than enough (aside from imp guard having more close combat prowess and so on, aside from not fielding as many massive armored units and other stuff.

If SW Imp had Exterminatus weaponry on a simple "star destroyer", which is not the case, then they would not have made such a big deal about the death star being able to destroy a planet in the first place, duh... (and sun crusher also onoly being a single ship vs the potential of a single battle barg with cyclonic torps or lifeeater or or or... sry bro, little chance

if they wanted to extinguish any race, which has happened to some in SW, they would have obliberated the homeworlds, which has not really happened.

and they, with palpatine and so on, having little problems with running down rebels with little care for collateral damage.

as for palpatine vs empy... yeah you see palpatine using the force on a galactic lvl.. sry dude no chance, in w40k he might be a good psyker but nothing of the magnitude of empy ^^

your dark troopers have 2 simple problems, they are called mp and stasis grenades, aside from having lower reflexes and so on on the wielders... And? This is not a versus battle, this is just a scenario where the two galactic superpowers combined with each other and form an alliance, to see what change would happen.

Futhermore how could IoM ships outmanuever Imperial ships, even though Imperial ships are several orders of magnitude faster, and safer. Also palpatine AKA Wankatine, Trollatine has been shown to create forcestorms the size of Star systems from half-way across the Galaxy without even trying. Other force users has powers that could stop time, and being AOE Immortal.

The reason why they created a Death Star in the first place is due to a thing called Planetry Shields and Pshycological warfare. And yes Star Wars has Planetry Shields. Also a single ISD can Exterminatus a planet, this procedure is called Base Delta Zero, ignite the planets atmosphere and turn their crust into slag, almost every ISD ship can do this manuever.

For the Stormies, in the EU these guys could snipe targets 500 metres away with their blasters. Also Dark Troopers, yes they have lower reflexes, but why need reflexes where your version of a sub machine gun equates to a IoM plasma cannon on crack with auto-aim.

I can not see how the IoM could beat the GE, because the moment the IoM appear at their desinated sight, the GE already has full defenses as well as enough time to send in resources with lightning speed, something the IoM could not do. And I almost forgot that the GE has better logistics and communication, and could pick IoM ships up and pinpoint them where they are more likley to appear. Furthermore at its height the GE has the Sun Crusher which could launch a missle into hyperspace and detonate Holy Terra's Sun from one end of the Galaxy, and they could fire it every minute...

Back to topic, what do you guys think of every Imperial Gaurdsmen is suddenly replaced by Dark Troopers O_O
