Super Star Destroyer from Star Wars VS Entire Star Trek Enterprise Fleet

To quote something I read or heard somewhere:

There is no such thing as a stun setting in the Star Wars universe. 😀

So my vote would have to go to the SSD.

EDIT: Of course, if this was a small fleet of Defiant-class ships, it would be a more interesting discussion.
 
It's a moot point anyway, because the Federation would need many people of the Traveller's race just to get to the Star Wars galaxy. That's just not going to happen.
 
Galactic Empire ---> Ships take weeks to get from one side of the galaxy to the other.
ST ---> Voyager takes 79 years to cross a quadrant.


Therefore, SSD must be MUCH faster than any ST ship. It would swoop in, lay the smackdown, and swoop out before the Feds knew WTF happened?!?!

That speed is just distance travel speed, not maneuverability. The SW ships make the "jump to hyperspace", some kind of near point-to-point dimensional travel (i.e. wormhole??). I'm sure someone has the details on this. I think in ship-to-ship combat, the ST ships are quite a bit more maneuverable. Of course, the SSD could just go to hyperspace and be on the other side of the galaxy in moments, with the ST ships having no way to pursue. So even if the SSD couldn't win, it could live again to fight another day.

As a side note, wouldn't the supporting Tie fighters from the SW ships come into play as well?

Too much thinking going on here for a Saturday morning... 😀

i thought when they went to hyperspace they were just going a lightspeed whereas warp

it is much faster than lightspeed

Ships in hyperspace travel at speeds of over 1 million times the speed of light.

It is much faster than warp😎
 
Even though this entire discussion is quite silly, I do find it funny on how people, mainly Trekkies, get caught up on vocabulary. Such as 'warp speed' as opposed to 'hyperspace.' It is all relative, if I called it "snail's pace" would it really be any different. Star Trek has phasers and Star Wars has blasters, but phasers sound more technical so therefore they are superior, right??!!

Anyhow I would support Team Star Wars just because I think it is immensely cooler than Star Trek. That and I think the Star Wars universe has brute firepower, sheer numbers and lower morals which would result in victory.

Come on, a unit of Storm Troops vs. Worf's Security Team??? Please, cool armour and weapons beats out remote control looking weapons and gay pajama uniforms any day.
 
storm troopers couldn't hit the broadside of a banta. look at han run into that room of stormtroopers and high tail out of there without a scratch.

phaser vs. turbolasers
phasers win. 🙂

if warp is c^(warp number) that warp 2 would be over 1 million times faster than light

warp 9 should be something like 1.9683 * 10^76 meters/sec

whereas hyperspace = 3.6 * 10 ^ 14 meters / sec

edit: according to other stuff i have looked at warp is definitely not c^x where x is the warp speed

i was just going by the other thread

Ion Cannons fsck up the power systems on the StarFleet ships, Empire wins. 😉
