Star Wars Vs Star Trek: The Empire INVADES the FEDERATION!! Part 1 of 2

What happens when the wormhole near Deep Space 9 suddenly 'reroutes' through time and space, leading to another galaxy far, far away!

This is part 1 of a two part scenario. This is NOT watered down with geeky techno-stats - this is a story about what would happen!

A stormtrooper and a redshirt get into a firefight.
The stormtrooper misses.
The redshirt dies anyways.

Star Fleet ships can enter warp space almost immediately. Imperial ships must make long calculations to enter hyperspace. That was a very interesting observation.

[michaelpielorz]

The Ferengis would immediately sell the Death Star !

[davidandgaillorier-may]

Ummm warp can operate in a gravity well so the interdictor ships won't be effective in capturing a warp vessel.

[horseradishpower]

This is presumably post Dominion War. They would be facing a much more wary and cautious Federation.

[LongLiveTheLionKing]

Mistake number one.. sending a Klingon to a diplomacy meeting

[SurelyYewJest]

Step 1: Have Starfleet use the special wormhole DS9 protects
Step 2: Lure the Imperial fleets in
Step 3: Have the Emissary tell the gods to wish them into oblivion
Step 4: Profit

[Ancienregime]

Seeing as the Empire was able to be overthrown by some magical hick farmer, a smuggler, a girl, and their friends, a war against an organized government would have a similar effect.

[michaelchaney]

There was a TNG episode where unshielded fighters are destroyed rapidly. Phasors wreck unshielded tie fighters by the legion.

[ryebread]

Tie fighters would be useless against a Starfleet ship. They have no shields, so computer controlled phaser accuracy would mop them up rather quickly

[danielboatright]

Pretty good overall, but a few serious issues:

-You forget Trek can fight at warp, aside from force users SW would simply lack fire control systems to target a ship moving FTL.
-Trek ships are able to warp within a gravity well, interdictor cruisers would not hamper a warp field
-SW fightercraft, especially unshielded T.I.E. series craft, would be very vulnerable to: wide beam phasers, being smashed by a ships deflector dish, and photon torpedoes would be able to act as area of effect weapons able to kill entire squadrpns at a time.
-U.S.S. Voyager, a pre Dominion war vessel, survived a star going nova (barely) in the Q civil war episode, nothing in SW suggests a fraction of this shield power.
-In DS9 we witness a Romulan/Cardassian fleet bombard a planet thought to be the founder homeworld, we get an in screen representation of their weapon power, and while we never see SW capitol warships do something similar on screen without a superweapon and can assume their orbital bommbardments are strong as well, this still puts trek ships in a heavier weapons class, aided by the fact that most torpedoes in trek use antimatter for explosive power, this puts photon torpedoes and other trek torps at a power level far above the strongest nukes in real life, giving them a measurable power yield.
-SW ships dont need lanes fpr hyperspace, they simply need to avoid gravity fields strong enougj to disrupt the functioning of their hyperdrive, that is the point of an astronavigation droid and a navigational computer, they plug all charted objects into it, and it calculates a course, in legs, that avoids gravity fields, thats why interdictor cruisers are so effective.

[williamhemming]

Its worth mentioning that the Federation has the Doomsday Device in mothballs. Seven of Nine and Spock have been able to activate and pilot it in the past. It could potentially eat the entire Empire fleet

[OdeeOz]

7:40 Why, if the Imperials already captured several Starfleet ships, do they then need to map the hyperspace routes, when that data should already be in the Starfleet data banks? Also, the Empire's fighters and bombers should not have posed much of a problem to Federation technology, in either galaxy.
9:59 _Another paradox._ How could the Empire defeat Starfleet in the Federation's Galaxy where everything works for Starfleet? In Federation galaxy, shouldn't the Empire be experiencing similar failures in their technology, as did Starfleet in the Empire's galaxy?

[mdyoung]

I think it's improbable that the laws of physics would suddenly change just because they're in another galaxy. If they were from a different dimension maybe, but the laws of physics are called laws because they are proven to be constant. I also don't think the Empire would have such an easy time with Federation ships.

[AlexandarHullRichter]

Remember a Federation starship's maneuvering speed is faster than that of a tie fighter. Also 24th century starship's have an effective phaser range of about 0.5 million km. They could wipe out the fighters before even entering the star destroyer's sensor range, and easily outrun them at sublight, like a car to a pedestrian.

Even before that, a Starship could literally park outside the star destroyer's sensor range and bombard them into oblivion with no risk before even being noticed.

Just think of that conversation:
Why don't you have starfighters in the federation?
Our starships are faster and more maneuverable than your starfighters.

[novapoppy]

The one thing no one ever takes into account when matching star wars vs star trek, is the range of the respective weapons. For example, the
SSD's manually aimed turbo lasers have an effective range of 5000 kilometers. But the enterprise's computer targeted phasers have an effective range of 300, 000 kilometers and a torpedo range of 2.5 million kilometers. In short, a star trek ship would just fall back and pound an ssd into scrap from well outside it's engagement range.

[joshuafogg]

Honestly, I think that Grand Admiral Thrawn would've been a better choice for the diplomatic meetings. Imagine Thrawn with a Bat'leth that was gifted to him.

[alanhembra]

The Federation must contact the Rebels and the Jedi.

[pedrofox]

Then Q appears and makes the Galactic Empire dissapear by just a fingersnap LOL
