Until the Empire has anything resemling Mirror Logicians and Sunbirds, who could hope to at most be able to temporarily contain something on the scale of the Numidium, I would say that they should certainly be fearful. If I recall correctly, the Empire only has one Battleship still commisioned. Even the Sword at the Centre appears to be struggling against the Thalmor's onslaught, they are certainly not a force to be underestimated or written off as a few spellslingers. They have a deep understanding of the Aurbis, and are incredibly dangerous (the most dangerous organisation in the Aurbis).
