I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Dude the deathstar has been debated to death.
It was never a viable weapon, it had a singular purpose and that was to remove planets with problem races. It is not even feasible for it to try and fight ship to ship or fleet to fleet battles.
That is the entire reason it was destroyed in the first place (and the second), because it requires a fleet with it to safe guard it.

Could he even get close? He'd be squashed like a bug by the Emperor's psychic might or have his face torn off by the Emperor's talon-like lightning claw.

Good point, would be extra fun if the Emperor just created a warp storm on top of Corasant.

I'm not going to bother reading any of the other posts in this thread because I already know that I know more about Star Wars then anyone else here, and therefore no one's considered my point.
The average travel time of the fastest Imperium of Man ships, from one side of the galaxy to the other, is a matter of years.
The average travel time of the fastest Republic ships, from one side of the galaxy to the other, is a matter of days.
On that matter alone, the Republic would crush the Imperium of Man.
The Galactic Empire, which is much, much larger (in fact the largest and most powerful faction in the SW mythos), would destroy not just the Imperium but all the factions in the WH40K galaxy, by itself. Superior firepower, superior range, superior range. That's all it takes.

*cough*Webway*cough*
The Imperium if the HH didn't happen, would have the Webway under their control, has a completely evolved psychic Human race, psychic technology adapted from the Eldar, shield and teleportation technology adapted from the Orks, and perfect Astartes thanks to recovered Golden Age of Technology (note the Great Crusade term) technology. Any questions, Republic, Empire, Sith, Jedi?

So yes. The imperium would wipe the floor with any Star Wars faction.
I love this picture. The cruiser doesn't even properly fit in there, and it's only a mid sized IoM ship. Star Trek ships are about the size of its torpedo tubes.

Killing a planet is absolutely nothing compared to it,
He destroyed it during the Battle of the Maw Installation, where it was sucked into one of the Maw's black holes along with the Death Star prototype. Kyp survived by escaping in a message pod, though he suffered serious injuries in the process. Durron used the Force to slow himself almost to the point of suspended animation and crammed himself into the tiny message cylinder.
There was only one......
Blackstone fortresses could destroy entire systems dude. Its just they were suppressed. Planet Killers could blow up a planet in seconds.

Once again, if I compare the Imperium without the HH, the conquered Black Library will give the Emperor the ability to expand and repair the Webway.

You do realize that the star engine inside of an Imperial Navy Emperor Class Battleship is so massive that when activated to overload IT DESTROYED AN ENTIRE TYRANID HIVE FLEET! Thats not being rude. That is highlighting the fact that it destroyed a tyranid hive fleet.

Not only that, but an IoM battleship is so massive compared to the executor, it wouldn't need to detonate its star drives. Look at the above size comparisons for IoM mid-sized ships and Star Destroyers.

Actually Super Star Destroyers and an IoM battleship are actually the same size. I like how the writer of Jeff Russell's Starship dimensions forgot that the size of a Cruiser is 7.5 KM and that an Emperors Class is double the size *facepalm*

Its okay. These Starwars vs Warhammer 40k threads always win because we are talking about established fluff not fanmade material. So the other super destroyer things don't count. If they will count those then we can count the life eater virus good luck trying to isolate those. You tried to eradicate a certain virus but turns out that virus slaughtered everyone else.

No what I am saying is the Imperium gets unlimited amounts of the life eater virus and just uses that to fight the battles planet. virused bombed. Death star virused bombed.
Star Wars mega super ship? Virus bombed. Good luck dealing with a virus that eats through all organic material.

Point considered, and you're wrong. SW ships cannot engage at FTL speeds, and their sublight speeds are a fraction of the speeds of 40K ships. In fact at sublight speeds 40K ships are around 190 times faster than their SW counterparts.
Being able to get places really fast is no good if you get there and get blown to pieces.
