Oh if they can figure out how to overcome the YV's blackhole defenses they can win since YV armor isn't the best of the lot.
But YV weapons also are on SW level so thats a bad bad thing.

Depends on how B5 weapons work. If they're rapid fire then they'll shred the Vong, rapid firing seems to overwhlem the dovine basals and their armour is pretty shit.

The ISA would be crushed by the YV. They just don't have the firepower, protection, or mobility required to defeat the YV.

Think about it. A starfury's weapons only total 120 Megawatts. That is not enough to scratch the surface of a YV ship, much less destroy it, and the starfury is supposed to be the top of the line fighter for the younger races (excluding, of course, the Minbari). 90 YV capital ships (please specify the type, though it shouldn't matter, much) would essentially be invincible to B5 weapons. Even if they got passed the infamous black hole defense that YV ships have, the YV armor is still too good. Coralskipper armor has stopped X-Wing blasts, sometimes, without failing, and an X-Wing's firepower is greater than anything but the heaviest ships in B5. I don't think the ISA could pull it off. Their lack of firepower is disturbing.
