That makes sense, because besides the Mon Cal cruiser the rebels don't have that much cap ship wise, where as the Imps have ISD, VSD, and the clone era ship (forgot its name). and on the ground, the Imps have the training, but the Rebels have the gorilla war far, like the revolutionary war, The colonists one when they hid in the forests and picked of the Red Coats as they walked by, but when they fought them face-to-face they were massacred.
