Plenty of the New Jedi Order was well written enough. If you don't like the premise, then you don't like the premise. I thought it was done well enough overall regardless of the nature of the Vong threat. What came after it was far lower quality IMHO. Plus I mean, Star Wars could've gone far...

Imperium worlds are compromised to varying degrees by infiltration all the damn time in the novels. Chaos Corruption Genestealer Cults. Tau Propaganda. Rival Hive Gangs. I've read only four novels in 40k and four out of the five worlds featured were being compromised by Outsiders!

The decay of the New Republic military is certainly a factor in the Vong's favor. But the issue I was bringing up was more directly tactical in regards to the Battle of Ithor is that the combined Imperial-Republic Task Force was bringing a large number of turbolasers using low power shots to...

I wonder if it's a bit of villain decay though or Hero boosting? I haven't read most of the NJO books and barely remember them but again in the Battle of Ithor, IIRC, it's been a while, the Imperial Remnant and New Republic brought in (checks Wookieepedia) almost twenty capitol ships including...

It was a squadron of X-Wings needed to overcome a Rakata in the Battle of Dantooine or Dubrillion or something like that. And that was with Luke Skywalker's "moving a Black Hole" lol feat. The amount of artillery needed for a time on target attack on a moving target would be significant to...

Vong usually used Dovin Basils for defense, including against missiles and rockets and the like. The micro-black holes could deflect, drain or absorb incoming stuff. They had these giant reptiles the size of AT-AT walkers called Rakamat that had dovin basils built into their backs that provided...

I think it's be an interesting feature having them separate from the Warp and using a different mode of FTL. It'll help make up for their numbers or whatever and being a recent arrival in the galaxy. Their army list would need a lot of fleshing out but they should have a full fleet list for...

Vong were separate from the Force as mentioned earlier in the thread. Could make it consistent that they're separated from the Warp/Immaterial as well.

Yeah no worries. I mean there aren't many massive ground battles in the New Jedi Order, it's mostly space stuff and ground adventures and skirmishes, plus I haven't read any of those novels in ages, but the New Republic of Legends/EU wasn't as flanderized as the one in Disney Canon in most...

No the New Republic Troopers wore this sort of fully enclosed armor in the Extended Universe. The New Republic's problems weren't demilitarization but lolcompetence and standard scaling issues with Space Opera/SciFi settings.

EU Star Wars is more than dudes in Tee Shirts with Blaster Pistols though.

Well either they're mostly safe or mostly unsafe. If it's the latter then we know how the Versus match already ends. No discussion needed.

Vong have their own deities and religion and while Warhammer 40K Warp Divinity is weird, such faith should keep your typical Vong person safe from corruption if we want to keep things consistent. Having widespread chaos corruption vulnerability would just make this thread perfunctory as a result.

What about the Battle Moons in 'The Beast's Saga? The 30K Imperium of Man had a fair bit of trouble dealing with those.

They won't conquer the galaxy or anything but they could carve out a niche somewhere.
