There is also the story where a tech priest contacted the AI aboard said Ark Mechanicus ship and it suddenly unleashed its real weaponry which was shit that wouldn't be out of place in Xeelee Sequence.

In many cases "Machine spirits" are AI's especially in the case of Ark mechanicus ships

The STC's are at the root of how that happened too.

Funny and sad thing about the Imperium or at least with the Mechanicus is that they actually do have a large number of fully intact STC's its just that they don't even realize it. The Ark mechanicus ships that they travel around on to search for STC's actually are STC's.

Those guys were also Palpatines "Most elite forces"

Compared to the nightmarish shit they have to fight yeah they don't have the best showings. But Storm troopers would perform as well as angry toddlers against an Ork Waagh or Tyranid incursion

I don't think the Empire could avoid a collapse with the sort of horrific losses taking Imperium worlds would entail.

Its pretty clearly stated that the state of the warp is what causes most problems for the Imperium as far as communications and travel go. Assuming things would just remain the same is kind of just forcing the status quo. Regardless cannon star wars which is being used here are pathetically...

Another side effect of a clean Warp is that psykers can now easily communicate across the galaxy. The warp being hell in cannon really limits what the Imperium can do.

I was specifically thinking of stuff like the Valor Class Cruisers.

The Republic tended to have the more aesthetically interesting designs IMO.

Imperial ships have the most boring designs IMO its like someone told the engineer to give them big fucking triangles.

The Necrons only used Dolem Gates to break into the warp so they could kill the old ones there. Aside from that their FTL doesn't use the warp at all. They somehow alter their mass so they can move at faster than light speed in the physical universe.

Necrons use actual FTL travel rather the warp, That said warp travel in a situation to where the warp isn't fucked up would be like Webway travel which is almost instant

That travel time is only that slow because the Warp is absolutely fucked. In the SW galaxy it would presumably be in a state comparable to before the War in Heaven.

Well if the warp isn't a clusterfuck hell dimension then Imperium ships would be able to match if not outright surpass the speed of SW ships.
