Good news, Yoda! We know how to stop the Dark Side! Bad news is... Er. Bad news is we know how to stop the Dark Side.Sigged.
I have no idea.Is that actually canon? I thought it was (probably) just a fan theory.What about the Void Dragon trapped on Mars, though If it ever awakes...WH40k Skynet, anybody?That one needs to be present in the star system, and get fairly close to the star it wants to destroy. Stopping it would still be tricky of course, considering it's nigh-invulnerable nature.No one remembers the Galaxy Gun? Don't even need to pop into the Sol system, just launch a planet-busting missile from the other side of the galaxyWhat about the Sun Crusher or whatever that is?

Good. Obviously the dark side of the force comes out of theNot the rest of his psychic ninja body?Quit pointing out the irony of me denouncing generalizations and then using one myselfOnly a Sith uses generalizatios.
Dumbest quote ever. "Only a Sith deals in absolutes!"

You know you just said, 'Only' right Obi-wan? I just lost all the respect for your psychic ninja ass when you did that.
Nope, just his ass. I still respect his psychic ninja face for it's manly jawline and facial hair.

Seconded. Action edited, in case you didn't notice.*facepalm*I have an SMG? Derp.It seems good to me, but you're the GM.Whats with you and grabbing guns? Isn't that SMG enough?
What are the crew saying? If the commandos have guns, grab a nearby gun and shoot them in the back. Same if they have no guns. Once they're all dead, give the order to cast off.

Why so?The city-sized one. The moon was the Chouginga Dai-Gurren.Let's say Arc-Gurren Lagann? Just to keep it fair.That was the moon one, right?
Also I cloned the GEoM once. Was kinda disappointing.
EVERYONE.@Hanslanda: Don't Xenomorphs have a hivemind? If so they would be able to tell if one of their number stops communicating with the queen/others.Unless you take that one comic by Dark Horse as canon, in which case Jeffrey can infect with a touch, and it's unnoticable to the infectee.
Xenomorphs have some sort of non-verbal communication of a hitherto unknown format. It could be psychic, it could be EXTREMELY AWESOME pheromones, it could be Phlebotinum. So. That question doesn't have a set answer. Let's assume both yes and no.
Yes, then the Xenomorphs know the Thing has assimilated one of them, and they immediately try to kill Jeff in hand to hand. Which fails utterly, because he's the Thing. Anytime you wound him with melee, you're going to cover yourself with Thingcells. And if they spray acid on him, whilst he has assimilated an Alien, then it's going to be ineffective. I guess they could non-lethally overpower him and pin him to the wall with Alienwallstuff, but then he'd Thing his way off by transforming into a worm or something.
No, then the Xenomorphs get overpowered one by one, or worse yet, the Queen gets Thingified... And shit gets very, very bad for everyone else in the universe.

Infinite Emperors?Yeah, sans EX, things would depend a lot on how far (if) the commander got off the ground. Either core or arm could comfortably capture a techpriest, methinks, and once they've got one they've got as many as they want providing nothing stops 'em. After that, providing there's not some kind of massive disparity between weapon/material tech between the two (and in that case, TA tech would be able to assimilate the Imperium tech in pretty short order, so it'd be a bit of a countdown), it'd be really, really hard to full out stop a TA incursion.
S'like I said, TA construction technology is basically goddamn magic and considering numbers are a non-issue (infinite pattern replication for CORE, on the fly cloning for ARM -- and they can easily use the other side's tech if they feel like it.) I'd say it'd really depend on if the commander hit a breaking point in terms of manufacturing/defense capability.
If it's stopped before then (and really, the commander itself is pretty flimsy, so it's not exactly out of the question), then the Imperium wins. If it isn't, the TA incursion goes Borg on the Imperium and in relatively short order take over the joint (said joint being the Imperium, and ultimately the WH40k galaxy. "But Chaos!" You say. "But God-Emperor of Mankind cloning", ARM says.).

For the love of god, ENHANCE."But Chaos!" You say. "But God-Emperor of Mankind cloning", ARM says.).
That's... That's just sexy.

I still do not know what that is.
