Kane alone is helpless, he is only good with his army, Lord Kona will destroy Kane and his army of course, but Vader, not only he has an army of his own, he himself can defeat Kona and Kane.

Once again we proved that no one can beat Vader but... Well, Vader.

I can't believe this. The FORCE ppl, the FORCE!!

I do not know who Kane is either, however, a one on one battle between Vader and Kona would lead to the death of a Drengin. There is no way Kona could win. If he tried hand to hand, vader would choke him. If he tried to sword fight, vader would cut off BOTH his hands. If he tried a surprise attack, vader would sense it and turn it against him.

If the armies of either side were to battle- which would be interesting none the less (star destroyers and drengin dreadnoughts!   )- i still believe vader would pull out on top, although it would be very close. While the Drengin shock troops could probably tear through legions of stormtroopers, the Empire is immense compared to the Drengin colonies in space. Its not a question of who would win, its a question of how fast Kona would die.   

Black hole Eruptors would swollow up the Death Star like a samosa.

I know...Stormtroopers seemed pretty daft (damn cloning). Deathstars had weaknesses designed into them, a few Super Dominators could rip that thing down.

Kane wouldn't fare well when the Deathstar blows up the planet.

So, Vader > Kane, Kona > Vader...in a "all resources available" fight. Man on man....Vader bar none.

Oh, c'mon. Vader was defeated by a rag-tag rebellion in the empire. Kane is restricted to only one planet. But the Drengin Empire...

Vader wasn't defeated, and the rebellion would have fallen had Luke been killed. Vader killed Palpatine, remember? He chose death to save his son.

I agree however, that in an all-out resource battle (although impossible to create   ), the Drengin Empire might pull out on top, with heavy losses of course.

Well Kona could build a Terror Star and that blows a sun in pieces, while the Deathstar just destroyes planets. But all in all the Empire ruled almost over a whole Galaxy, so they definitly have more colonies than the Drengin Empire. It would depend on what weapons the Drengin have already researched.

Quintillions of electrons are being squandered on this thread. Entropy wins.

Ok, forget the Death Star, Vader has The Force, he can beat anything, end of story.

DOCTOR WHO WINS of course. you people read way too much star wars   Star trek fan i am :Yoda

Kane wins since he has a bobblehead.

Seriously.

Now, if Lord Kona had a bobblehead...

Hey! Darth Vader also have a bobblehead!

And Drath Vader has a Mr. Poato Head after him join me and we will rule the galaxy as father and spud!

I'd have to say Kane. While Vader may be unstoppable in personal combat an Kona may have the superior weapons, Kane can be downright cunning and treacherous when it comes to manipulation and strategy. That, and the Brotherhood of Nod (the organization he controls) is one damn sneaky faction who would be able to play one enemy off another quite easily.

While the others arguably might beat The Empire in a war, Vader himself wouldn't actually die. The only thing that can kill Vader is Vader. He would eventually be forced (Haha, get it? nevermind) into personally hunting down Kane and Lord Kona. Assuming they knew where he was, they could just fly away from his location, but eventually they'd mess up, and Vader would choke a b**ch. But in any case, neither Kane (from what I've played, haven't seen the new one) nor Lord Kona can match the speed of Vader's ships. You know how you put five times as many engines on your ships than the AI does in GalCiv2? That's Vader, running circles around Lord Kona and Kane. If he had to, he could guerrilla them into submission.

Why don't we just assume they're all roughly equal in capability? That way, us nerds will have a lot more fun imagining the space battles, writing fan fiction, or whatever floats your boat.
