I am guessing you are one of those damned Trekkies, since you keep on trying to claim that the Empire is small and weak.
and your making use of dubious canon author wanked EU novels to contradict a direct written passage by Lucas in a novel and the highest primary canon..the actual movies on the size of the empire...and your intimating the other party is biased? really?
Youngla0450 wrote:Everyone must realize that the Galactic Empire surpasses all the major Star Trek governments in size. The Empire, as previously stated, has at least one and a half million canonically recognized member/conquered worlds, as well up to fifty million colonies, protectorates, and puppet states scattered throughout the Star Wars galaxy, streching over 120,000 light years. Compare this to:]
size means very little when three of the "puny" powers you mention have shown industrial feats far greater then anything we've seen in the movies

as of St insurrection the feds where letting any one join and the number was increasing pretty dramatically..even if most of the new members where crap many of them just flew their first warp test...and the colonies...are probably more then a thousand seeing as how sick the feds terraforming tech is ..and seeing as its a post scarcity government..your likely dealing with colonies..in the hundreds of millions if not..more..the only thing keeping..population down would be if every one squeezed out kids in their sixties like Jellico.. we know this isn't the case
Youngla0450 wrote:*The Klingons or Romulans, who both have less then 1,100 worlds each, and at the most 3,000 colonies.
I highly doubt that their about the same size as the Feds with the Romulans being slightly smaller...and while they may not have..the same population or industry as the feds...they're pretty close

the Cardassians are the thugs of the universe a bunch of moronic gangsters who raped and pillaged their way into second rate power..tier then bankrupted themselves causing territory wide poverty and famine fighting a mere border skirmish with the feds then got routed by a rebellion from a society that had been declining for tens of thousands of years..and was by and large utterly harmless when first conquered
they are by no means the average representation of a stellar nation in trek..comparing them to say The klingons or the Federation is like comparing the bloods or the crips to la cosa nostra

*The Ferengi, who might have less then 200 worlds and states total, perhaps smaller then the Federation.
who are again a minor power with unusually large economic influence..but who could still field ships powerful enough to be a threat to a Galaxy class starship-not a fight any ISD or two..would enjoy

umm no they control virtually the entire GQ and considering terraforming technology in trek can turn a hunk of rock like mars into an earth like world inside of a year...and they can resurrect dead stars and the Dominion itself utterly dwarfed the Federation in this technology as well as industrial might...they likely..have control over..or have made it so that their "member" races those who provide economy and build the weapons and ships of the dominion...have allot of breathing room
they maybe smaller then the GE but they are indisputably more densely populated and some crap on the empires ship building capacity
