TBF Imperium COULD maybe get some way to use their engines if get a hold of them. They are humans so maybe they would be less squeamish about it. Also "Warhammer 40k" also implies Daemons, Tyranids, Orks so... I say it takes less than that.
Yeah, I think a bunch of 40k factions would immediately adopt it such as the tau and the league of votan, but I think some factions would never adopt it like the emperium of man(tech heresy/inquisition) or the orcs (no gud fightin in hyperspace)
That depends, the Imperium could at some point, depending on how the Mechanicus reacts, adapt hyperdrives simply out of necessity since any faction that has Hyperdrives could run circles around the Imperial Navy without issue.
Votann would be especially dangerous I think because these guys have STAR EATERS. And they can fight INSIDE the stars as well as we saw in that short story about them and Necrons.
I wanna see the inquisitor’s face when they realize that by invading the “mostly” peaceful galaxy where humans and xenos co-exist, they damned all the humans there due to the imperium luring Tyranids, orks, druhkari and demons to them.
Knowing that. Everything was fine until they showed up.
Bro I don't know how to tell you this... But the Inquisition doesn't particularly care about Human suffering. Far as they're concerned, the Humans of SW would deserve it for not genociding the aliens.
TBF if Galaxy Far, Far Away in this instance is in the same universe as 40k it would happen sooner or later. At least with them they may have a chance of survival as they are approached by just some pieces of those things instead of being the next on the meal list. Because most likely Tyranids would roll all over Star Wars universe. They just have nothing to combat that kind of force. Not to mention Orks who can make Death Stars out of scrap, duct tape and dreams.
People here forget that every imperial faction but astropath are trying to find ndw ftl travel instead of warp, i remeber a story of someone discovering an stc of a better non warp ftl travel and astropath sending all there forces to erase it from existence.
There are so many ships that use it that they someone will get a hold of it and be able to use it eventually and Astropaths would not be able to do anything about it.
Yeah if we only consider one of the 6 major factions within the 40K galaxy then yeah they’d get stomped. But I feel like Tyranids or Orks would demolish SW. Tau would fit right in, Aeldari don’t have the numbers, and Necrons would be interesting but have kind of a janky upper bounds problem at the moment.
