    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    No. When estimating things, you first attempt to get multiple data points. Then you make estimates based on said data points, and then you combine all the estimates to get a reasonable range. So for example if we are seeking N: Datapoint 1 gives N as 500 - 10 000 Datapoint 2 gives N as 250 - 8...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    No, it wouldn't be. Not a reasonable (as in, "not deliberately trolling") minimum. We know there are 5 Segmentae in total. Imperial Navy has 29 different cruiser classes of all types that we know of (grand, battle, line, light). 600 Lunars in one Segmentum would require at at least half the...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    As I said: even if you treat Lunar class as an exceptional outlier, you still cannot really go below 17 000 cruisers and 250 000 starships. And it is not stated one way or another whether the Lunar class is "representative" or an "exceptional outlier". But so long as it is not stated or implied...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    I actually minimized the number of cruisers. Segmentum Obscurus is relatively the most fortified Segmentum, but it is not the largest one. Further, I only counted major cruiser classes we know of. And even absolute minimum number of ships (200 worlds per sector, 50 ships per sector) still...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    Production numbers are estimates from canon information, specifically what I noted here: Battlefleet Gothic notes that Imperial Heavy Cruiser takes between three and 11 years to produce, so "a decade" I noted above is really the upper end of the estimate. Even if we assume that it is 11 years...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    It is only the highest-end technology that they cannot replicate. Most of the massive ornate battleships are perfectly buildable. Problem is that we do not have any information on the actual production rate, though I attempted to give the best possible estimate...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    ICS calcs fly in the face of canon however, so the only question here is whether Battlefleet Gothic calcs are higher or lower than Star Wars canon calcs (as Battlefleet Gothic and other official 40k material also override any 40k novels or other media). As for Star Wars canon calcs, we have...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    Imperial Star Destroyers are basically battleships... fact that we see them used in movies to fulfill destroyer-like roles (chasing Milennium Falcon etc) is I believe because Lucas may have modelled them on modern destroyers, which fulfill battleship role in addition to that of a destroyer.

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    I don't think that is really the case. This is also supported by novelizations where "tens of thousands" of systems joined the Separatists, and Republic has population numbering in the trillions. Using EU for information about Star Wars is kinda like using books for information about the...

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    Depends on the Guard unit. Many of the Imperial Guard regiments (e.g. Cadian Kasrkin, Imperial Guard Stormtroopers) would be more than a match for Empire's Stormtroopers. And both Imperium and the Empire are capable of orbital bombardment, so it is a tie there.

    Disney by default, Legends if Disney gets Vlad Dracula'd.

    Imperium of Man vs Galactic Empire

    By act of ROB, Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40 000 and the Galactic Empire from Star Wars are dropped into a single mega-galaxy, side-to-side. Imperium of Man is from after Guilliman's return while Galactic Empire is from the Return of the Jedi era. There is no Great Rift, Eye of Terror, or...
