The last Spacebattle thread we did lasted for 24 pages and got a lot of Gaffers involved. The Galactic Empire seemed to emerge victorious. So here's a new scenario:
At the end of Star Wars: A New Hope, Luke's shot into the Death Star reactor misses. The Death Star fires and destroys Yavin IV completely, ending the rebellion forever. The Millennium Falcon, Luke and Wedge all attempt to flee and are destroyed unceremoniously by a Star Destroyer.
Due to the massive shift in the potential destiny of the galaxy, the explosion of Yavin IV combines with the disturbance in The Force and rips a hole through space and time. A permanent wormhole begins to form, about the size of a Solar System.
The Death Star itself moves to a safe distance and the inquisitive Grand Moff Tarkin sends a dozen Imperial Probe Droids in.
In another galaxy: It is the 41st Millennium there is ONLY WAR.
The Imperium of Man spans a million worlds, with untold trillions fighting a thousand battles to protect their Empire from its many enemies. From The Golden Throne, the God-Emperor exists in a state outside life and death. The High Lords of Terra rule as best they can, with a terrible devout fury. Under their command: The Space Marines; The Imperial Guard; The Adeptus Mechanicus; The Sisters of War; The Inquisition and a dozen other groups, willing and ready to fight to the death.

In the region of space Segmentum Pacificus, a distortion in space tears apart a Red Dwarf star. The distortion expands and consumes the lifeless solar system in moments, forming a stable wormhole. A dozen probe droids emerge and fly off in many differing directions.
One investigates the unusual region known as the Eye of Terror, and loses signal.
One flies towards Tau space, and is carefully shot down by the Tau.
One is apprehended by The Eldar who have foreseen its arrival.
One heads towards Holy Terra and is immediately destroyed.
One mysteriously loses power in orbit of a Necron Tombworld.
7-11 are destroyed by unknown means.
The last probe lands on a Space Hulk and downloads some of its remnant database. The information is broadcast back through the wormhole to the Death Star. The orks find the probe droid and eat it.
On the Command Center of the Death Star, Palpatine has been dissecting the recovered data with dark hunger. With the rebellion completely crushed and the supremacy of The Sith uncontested, he has the unified resources of an entire galaxy at his disposal. At his command, clone armies can be produced, ships can be build, droid armies can be assembled, Sith warriors can be trained, and any world can be enslaved to any war effort of his choosing.
His goal: to conquer Holy Terra, and insert himself into the Golden Throne. To live forever, without the unstable process of cloning himself.
Palpatine calls together a council of war. Himself, Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin and Grand Admiral Thrawn lead the planning.
On Holy Terra, the Psykers all recieve the same dream. The God Emperor of Man on his throne, saying two quiet words: Fight them.
Based on what you know about 40k and Wars GAF, what happens? Some points for consideration:
Current status of the 40K Galaxy
-The wormhole is the size of a solar system, and can be entered and exited from any direction. Known science cannot seal it thus far.
-The God-Emperor's supposed message is acknowledged by the High Lords of Terra, and they connect it to the new Wormhole. They pledge every resource to fight the invaders from the Wormhole.
-The Force works in both galaxies, as does all technology.
-Though there is always war, there are currently no significant invasions on the Imperium of Man by the other 40k powers.
-The Tau, Eldar, Necrons and Chaos disected the databases of the Probe Droids, and may have plans of their own. For the sake of the debate though, they let the attack on the Imperium of Man proceed initially. Soonafter they react as you may predict.
Current status of the Imperium of Man
-A war frenzy caused by the God Emperor's supposed contact.
War preparations by the Galactic Empire
-Palpatine has confirmed the primary goal: Secure the Golden Throne. This cannot be damaged. Anything to achieve this goal is allowed.
-Palpatine recognizes the level of threat and the difficulty in taking Holy Terra intact. He can enlist any Dark Jedi in canon, open Sith Academies, access all Sith Holocrons and strategies of past Sith Lords.
-Palpatine can order the creation of as many clone-producing worlds or droid-factory worlds as he needs.
-Palpatine can enslave any planet of the galaxy into producing starships and weapons.
-Tarkin has access to all of his superweapons.
-With the Rebellion gone, Palpatine can create as many ships and Death Stars as the resources of the Galaxy will allow.
General
-Remember the war is both in space, and on the ground. Posting a picture of a Space Marine next to a paltry Stormtrooper isn't enough of an argument.
-Assume that both galaxies are approximately the same size.
-Feel free to post how the other 40K powers will react and what they will plan for the SW Galaxy.
What happens GAF? This is a battle between the unified resources of the Star Wars galaxy, versus the raging fury and insane bloodlust of another.
