Space Pirates VS Storm Troopers

[James the Red]

I think its time we at the TWC had a sophisticated and intellectual discussion about who would win in a battle, the Imperial forces of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars VS the Space Pirate forces from the Metroid series. (not often are those two factions pitted against each other)

Stormtroopers are all disorientated and can't shoot well.

The Galactic empire ofcours their star destroyers will blow those pirates to guts.

I refuse to believe you talk about the Star wars Stormtroopers, i had a feeling that you were talking about the starship troopers, making this battle even move spacyepic

Space Pirates and Storm Troopers are comparable, unlike say, Orcs and storm troopers.
But there are many differences.



Lets look at the armaments and abilities of the basic trooper.


Storm Troopers
Storm troopers have blaster rifles, heavy armor that, can not protect against a direct blaster shot, can absorb some of the damage. And thermal detonators (grenades). No melee weapon.

There are many Storm troopers, many are, in fact, clones.


Pirate Trooper
Pirate troopers have arm-mounted energy cannons and arm-mounted energy scythes for melee.
Pirates are faster and more agile than storm troopers, they can jump higher and run faster, hang from ceilings and walls with ease. They just outperform the storm troopers.


So, when it comes to standard basic infantry, I'm going to have to say that Pirates are better.

uhm Stormies, flat out. There's more of them....they're cloned....and are pretty badass...and there is more kinds of stormies...

If you can defeat batallions of space pirates with a single mercenary, then I'm sure billions of storm troopers would have no problem.

[saglam2000]

stormtroopers would annihilate them, the fact that they cant shoot for is just in the movies because everybody would've died in the first if they could hit anything

[C-Rob]

I'm thinking that in a million to million battle, the troopers would lose handedly, though the battle would probably be more than epic. it would probably make the universe explode with all the awesome going around.

[helmersen]

Storm Troopers!

[James the Red]

If its a space Battle, the Empire would definably win.
Land battle, Space Pirates would win.

[Fluttershy]

man you guys are forgetting all the equipment the stormies would get! Imperial walkers anyone? Those things are awesome aslong as the space pirates dont have teddy bears.

but yea, stormtroopers easily
