Also, even though the cyclon basestars look very scary, they’re actually less powerful than the colonial battlestars. But they do have a lot of (replacable) fighter

However, since it’s the battle of the classics, I’d put my money on the Star Destroyer.

In a head-on fleet battle, numbers don’t necessarily equate victory: A (Super) Star Destroyer can be destroyed, or crippled, by an A-Wing with a death wish - the same probably goes for the BG ships (although there don’t seem to be any Interceptors - is this the Pre-Endor Empire?). I find it hard to believe that a triple-engined …thingy doesn’t have the shielding/armor of a Rebel Alliance fighter, though. And those TIE Fighters are paper with two green ‘pyewpyew’ guns - are the BG dudes that bad at shooting fighters down when they have vectored thrust at their disposal?

Plus, hey, battleships with either a Fold System or a DS drive. That changes _everything_. (Schlock Mercenary takes full advantage of this. For a while.)

Let’s not forget that the Empire was crippled by a single X-Wing, and all but destroyed by two of those and a converted freighter. I don’t have my copy of Sun Xu with me (since the move), but I recall a passage where, if your numbers are less than your enemy’s, you don’t attack head-on with everything you have. Either the BG dudes don’t know that in the show, or the creator of the video didn’t know that (that’s not to say it isn’t _kickass awesome_).
