  1. I would like yalls thoughts on this question that our resident channelknight posed to me in DMs earlier 

    A single star destroyer from the galactic empire at its peak suddenly appears in orbit around earth, with the intent to occupy the planet for the empire. Can the united forces of earth defeat it?

    If you think we can defeat one, what about 2? how many of the empire’s forces can we withstand?

    the empire’s goal here is occupation, not annihilation, so no need to worry about a death star or anything.

      LOL, easy dubs for Earth.

      The USA on its own could win the entire thing.

       

      In ep 5 we see an Ion Cannon is able to disable a Star Destroyer, a nuclear weapon can easily produce more ions while also breaching the hull and destroying the entire thing.

      The US has (publicly confirmed anyway) 450 Minuteman 3 missiles which are capable of reaching high atmosphere, and could probably enter orbit if we tried to get them there, so that's 450 Star Destroyers minimum right there.

      Then we get to ground troops. The fact of the matter is that Galactic Empires ground vehicles are comically flawed, and easily destroyed. And hopelessly outmatched by US armored vehicles, and anti-tank weapons.

      During the height of the Iraq war an IED was going off once every 45 minutes, with the US Heartland under attack I could easily see that number dipping into the low seconds.

      So there goes who knows how many forces.

       

      And that's just the military:

      US civilians own around 390,000,000 guns and over a Trillion rounds of ammo, and they aren't giving up without a fight.

      Bombs are hilariously easy to make, as are Napalm, chemical gases, powerful acids, etc.

       

      Basically I think Earth could take the entire Galactic Empire so long as they focused on subjugation rather than destruction.

      I think we win against 1, probably 2. I don't know about more. Earth has got some pretty cool technology and the Galactic Empire really is mostly useless
