How much UFP fighting for something make effect outcome war SW Empire

[Jason 27]

This interest one After all SW Empire or even first order UFP fighting for way life possible even fate family be on line fire. Sadly seen effect UFP effect one expect least real world any either the DS9 or even Star Trek Enterprise. Will for one think Starfleet quick use both fighters and more willing take loses then normal.

Hmmm.  Well, in light of the changes brought about by the Disney canon, it would take a long time for an Imperial ship to hurt a Federation one.  While the Federation one could do a number on the Imperial one very quickly.

 

As for fighters, well, this would go more or less the same way, as Starfleet Peregrine-class and Stalker-class fighters are vastly superior to TIEs, with the possible exception of the TIE Defender.

In the grand scheme of things, ship to ship combat is a small part of the overall picture. Yes, Federation ships are quite a bit more powerful than Imperial ships, however IMperial ships can get to systems faster and put more boots on the ground. Logistics is a major part of the conflict.

[Khas 12,158]

True.  But on the other hand, logistics isn't going to be a huge advantage when your ships get blasted to smithereens every single battle.

 

Let's say that the Empire as of 2 BBY establishes contact with the Milky Way in around... oh... late 2409, just after the Federation-Klingon War has ended, and it's done via wormhole.  The Empire would try to make in-roads into the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, and while their ships are certainly fast, ultimately, all they're going to be able to do against the combined Federation, Klingons, and Romulans is be a slight nuisance.  Those hyperdrives will let them get to and from places quickly, sure, but ultimately, all the war in the Milky Way is going to do is divert resources that could be put to better use against the Rebels.  Who no doubt would take advantage of this situation to make even more devastating strikes on the Empire.

 

Hell, the Chiss might decide that the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans make better allies than the Empire does, and "accidentally" let hyperdrive tech fall into their hands.  Or maybe a certain Grand Admiral would end up on Earth, Qo'noS, or New Romulus.

 

On another note, I just had an awesome mental image of Peregrine-class, Stalker-class, To'Duj-class, and Scorpion-class fighters backing up X-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings, B-Wings, and U-Wings.

Other problem argue question Rebel do find out UFP existed leading to them at least security supplies them with weapons and equipment that the bing end Empire if happen before after short after her father died Rogue one. transporters they beam out all survivals and left before Vader came with the perhaps all date.    Maybe used Death star plans lore Vader into trap and get rid him. See effect Empire security is likely Section 31 able get ride Emperor.

Yeah, except what you showed simply states the number of guns, no mention of how weak they are...
