Right, no that would be us with one ally left if the CIS leave us, against a rebellion and six factions, four of which major. Now to make things worse i am sure as hell that the Sith Lords will all jump at this chance, so actually 7 factions three minor and four major.
Im thinking realistically, a War WILL Destroy us and if you all start this its your fault.
Actually, from a tactical standpoint, if the Sith genuinely wanted to get involved in the fighting...they wouldn't attack us if the rest of the galaxy did. They'd backdoor the Mandalorians or the OP, sith faction depending. If the Republic is shattered, that leaves three other, much bigger, factions all competing for territory and all of which would push the Sith out, they simply don't have the numbers or the mass to compete. If the Mandalorians/OP are fighting us...that leaves opening behind them, and assuming we're still a threat by the time the Sith move, the factions won't have the necessary strength to fight on two fronts, so they'll have to pick which one they fight and it'll probably be us they pick. So the Sith will get the territory, weaken who would, mathematically, be the eventual winners of the war, and setting up a stronger front to defend themselves if the Mandalorians/OP turn around on them. It's much more appealing than helping take one planet and being shoved out by the bigger, more muscular people.
