Poll: Galactic Empire at its height vs. The convenant at its height.  [closed]
Galactic empire:  51%
(25 Votes)
covenant:  49%
(24 Votes)
Total Votes: 49

Both races have shielding for their ships. Both are advanced races. Both are dominant in their galaxies at the height.

Galactic empire has a advantage in fleet size thought, they are quoted to have over 25,000 star destroyers, and millions of other smaller ships. The empire also has super weapons such as death stars and ssds.

The covenant has a clear advantage on the ground. Storm troopers are no match for elites.

So who wins, the master of the star wars galaxy or the masters of the orion wing.

Galactic Empire:
Fleet: Star Destroyers, Death Stars, and misc spacecraft.
Star Destroyers: They are armed with turbo-laser turrets and tracter beams.
Death Star: Really strong green ray of death
Tie Fighters/bombers:
Shielding: No
Weapons: Lasers/photon bombs/torpedoes


Ground: Walkers, Infantry
At-At:
Shielding:No
Weapons: Heavy and Medium Lasers
At-Sts:
Shielding:No
Weapons: Lasers and Concussion grenade launchers
StormTroopers: Weak Armor, Bad Marksman, Over all Cannon Fodder

They have the advantage in sheer numbers, but the Covenant on the other hand...

Covenant:
Fleet: Many Carriers, FlagShips, Crusiers, Frigates, Destroyers, and misc ships.
Their ships are all armed with Shielding and an assorted array of plasma turrets.
Plasma can burn through pretty much any kind of matter and is millions of degrees
hot.

Ground: Various Infantry, tanks and other vehicles
Grunts: Cowardly, weak and overall cannonfodder, basically just a small notch
below Stormtroopers
Jackals:Nimble,weak, wields shield
Elites: Tactically brillant, strong,nimble, and very "Elite"
Hunters: large, hoists large impenertrable shield, powerful
Brutes: Extremely Strong, not much known
Prophets: Smart(duh), physically weak

In Conclusion: The Galactic Empire stands somewhat of a chance in a space battle, they have those little turbolaser cannons and such. Though I don't know how strong that would be. Covenant ships are by far still superior. Ground-wise, Covenant, hands down, have the upper hand(pun not intended). So in my opinion and anlaysis, the Covenant would win a war against the Galactic Empire. If an army of rebels can scatter them, I have little doubt the Covenant wouldn't be able to either.

Take in mind that the star destroyers have shielding far superior to covenant ships. They range in the teratons. Covenant shielding, because they could be penetrated by 16,000 ton mac guns going at a quarter of lightspeed, is calculated in the gigatons. In space, the empire has the advantage of numbers and superior shielding.

Empire dark troopers could kick the ass out of elites and hunters.

Don't forget that the convenant is going to be ass kicked by the infidel and weak human race.

That's a little farfetched there. Darth Vader is only one man. He can't be a battlefield option.

of course the impire would win, any real starwars fan (or freak :D ) knows that the only weakness of the empire is they can't take on an non orginaste attack like rebel forces

I think the rebel forces are just as strong as the convenant in space.
Their cruisers might not be of the same status as the Star Destroyers (some such as the monclamari cruisers do match up) , but they can match up against the covenant cruisers.

They don't lack in numbers either.

Before their attack on Death Star II, it has been stated that the rebel fleet seen from a ship streches into space in every direction. That's a HUGE fleet.

Yes the Covenant have a lot of numbers but the Empire simply has more, because of sheer amount of space that it owns and the number of cloned troopers who can be created, although the storm troopers are the worst shots in the galaxy.

The Empire would obliterate the Covenant. They have thousands of Star Destroyers, many Super Star Destroyers, countless smaller ships(frigate, etc...), and the capability to build Death Stars. The Covenant would get annihilated in a fleet engagement(what the Empire is best at) and in the end that's all that matters...(It's also the reason humans are loosing the war so badly against the Covenant; because the humans loose in fleet engagements.) Now if the Covenant would get smart and start to use geurilla tactics (they're too dumb though) they see some success.

The covenant are in a world of hurt.

What it takes a Covenant fleet of 30+ ships to do to Jericho VII and Reach, a Star Destroyer can do alone.

There are at least 25,000 Star Destroyers in an imperial fleet which numbers around ten million ships.

Darth Revan's Star Forge from Knights Of The Old Republic could take down the Covenant Empire. All Hail Darth Revan

Although, this is tad bit off-topic from the original poll... I'd still like to know what you think. Any one who has played KOTOR, knows about the Infinite Empire. My question to you, who would win, The Infinite Empire at their height, or the Galactic Empire at theirs!!!!???

I used to be a big star wars fan (when I was 7 years old), but I mean cmon the covies would be like grr, we use hot stuff, and win. But the real question is who would win, MC with a plasma sword or Darth Vader.

Star Wars is kind of weird in that their space technology rocks and is completely overpowering, but their ground forces and fighters use weapons and have speeds comparable to what humans had in World War I. Especially the fighers. They handle well but they're incredibly slow by modern standards and their weapons are the equivalent of what you'd see on a bi-plane.

On the ground the Covies would beat the -blam!- out of the Empire. Last I checked, lightsabers only stop "blasters," whatever the hell they are. A laser's effect would be instantaneous, ballistics would cause far more damage, and plama I won't even mention. The entire Star Wars galaxy must be retarded to use their inferior and in most cases semi-auto blasters. Anyways, not counting the stuff from the games (I've seen the movies and I own KOTOR, but I hate that game - no direct control over action), the Covies may be able to pull off a victory if they use a guerilla approach. The only reason they're not doing that with humans is because, well, they can simply trample right over us and still walk away without taking too many losses. We don't know how the Covenant would react to a superior force, but since the Prophets and ruling Elites are supposed to be so wise, I guess they'd take the right course of action and -BLAM- the Star Destroyers right up their collective tailpipes. And on the ground, don't even mess with "force powers." If the Prophets have such highly developed minds and are so adept with them, I think they'd be able to vivisect the mind of a lesser force-user. I think one Elite could take around 20 storm troopers collectively, maybe one of those AT-STs (the grenades could become a problem, though). Hunters could probably take tons of infantry and vehicles simultaneously if they position themselves correctly. Nothing gets through that shield.

Anyways, you can tell I hate Star Wars (mainly because I hate fantasy posing as sci-fi) and love Halo. Buh-bye.
