I think the Enterprise D would give any I-class Star Destroyer a sound whooping.
Though I think the Empire would take it. Due to their use of fast fighters. No way phaser banks and photon torpedoes could could nail a swarm of TIE fighters. Star Trek battles are mostly capital ship slug-fests.

From what I understand they didnt control most of their galaxy.

Depends on what you mean by "Most." They had 70,000,000 planets under their belt at their peak. There are around 200,000,000,000 stars had planets that could support life. And while that's actually a really low percentage, realize that Felicia, Korriban, and Tatooine can all technically support life, and I think few people here would want to buy a house on any of those planets.[/quopte]
There are also large areas of unclaimed space in the SW universe.How many planets has Star Fleet taken by force?

And no, I really doubt Star Fleet could have taken 70,000,000 planets by force. They don't have nearly enough resources.

Thats an assumption based on little facts.
Meaning, theres no reason to assume the un-claimed areas of space are anything like Tatooine.

I dont think I suggested a number of planets as a comparison.

Examples are based on some verifiable facts.

Well I'll say this.
Based on what is undeniable canon, meaning whats seen in the SW films and not the books,comics and other sources, the Galactic empire was in power for about 20-25 years.
The Mirror Universes Terran empire ruled for over 150 years.

Shadowman wrote:Uh, yeah, they are. Thanks for explaining that to me.
Just so we're on the same wavelength here, what I meant was some planets aren't worth taking, thus they wouldn't be counted in the number of planets the Empire has.
And the Galactic Empire never dissolved. By the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Imperial Remnant still had thousands of planets under its control.
Still asking this, how many planet did the Terran Empire control?

All right, well now I can immediately disregard everything you say on the matter. Expanded Universe ALWAYS comes into play in Star Wars discussions, you can't say "expanded universe doesn't count" in regards to anything Star Wars.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:The Yuuzhan Vong War was a series of books in which the story is set after "Return of the Jedi.There fore its status as canon is questionable.
No it isn't. It's canon until George Lucas says otherwise and he hasn't said otherwise.
It canon until contradicted by a higher form of canon. The books, I think, are the third tier, which is still pretty high up.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:Not counting colonies, about 120 worlds if I'm right.

And I can say with absolute certainty that the Empire controlled many times that
