I don't know, the Halo's defenses kicking in at minimum safe distance of 1 light year or any of the plethora of ships defending the Ring? The Precursors and the Flood are also trans-universal, so that the Vong live in another galaxy is moot. But you can't just say that the Vong would do something on the basis of "lol why not?" There are factors to consider as well, such as the Halo's being one of the most heavily defended installations in Forerunner space.
What exactly can the Zombies do?
And the Forerunners would eat the Mandalorian ground forces for breakfast. They would in fact win against any Star Wars ground force because Star Wars still has a modern military mindset. The Forerunners just tear apart the surface of a planet from the air, they only go into traditional ground engagements to root out specific targets. But to compare, Forerunner civilians wore armor 4 times as powerful as MJOLNIR by the end of the war, the Flood still breached them, because infection forms are only one way to get killed by them. Simply touching or breathing the same air will infect you without environment suits. Hell, once Keyminds are formed, simply being in the same star system can start causing feelings of unease/fear in the back of your mind.

[quote]Star Wars still has a modern military mindset[/quote] Have you seen the USNC forces? The zombies would do the same thing as the flood. They would basically just be exchanging infected members, leaving it at a stalemate.

Yes, but seeing as I was clearly talking about the Forerunners, they're irrelevant. At best the modern Haloverse would be in a support role. Anyway, the Flood don't get infected. They recognize a potential threat and adapt to it. Any form of biological matter is convertible, or consumable, that's sort of their super power, so there wouldn't be an exchange of infected, there would just be more food for the Flood. And you ignore the logistics of getting to the Halo rings. You would first have to find them, and then get through their defenses, not the least of which is their 1 light year ranged defensive weaponry. The fleets defending these installations would not permit any entry, nor would the Ring itself, which would throw itself into a fractal dimension, preventing any and all forms of external manipulation (this is how it defends itself from its own pulse). Even if you were to get past this for one Ring, all Halo has to do is shoot it with another Halo Ring and obliterate any enemy force attacking it. And there is no dodging it; space and time have no meaning to the Halo pulse, according to Silentium. Really the Vong is just about the worst thing to bring up against Halo, what with the Flood foaming at the mouth for people and technology like them. Even if they got past every defense one of the Halos has, the Sentinels need only to deliberately breach Flood containment facilities and let them loose on the Vong's bio-exclusive army. It would be disastrous for them.
