What would win in a fight Star Wars or Star Trek?

Answer 1

Some believe that Star Wars would win in a battle over Star Trek however there is little evidence to support this.

The primary weapons used within the Star Wars universe are lasers and proton missiles. Such weapons offer no threat whatsoever to Star Trek space vehicles that all have energy shields capable of deflecting the logarithmically more powerful phasers and photon/quantum torpedoes.

The Death Star's weapon is far beyond anything else within the Star Wars universe but has only been seen facing off against undefended planets and unshielded space ships. It is unclear how it would fair against shielded space ships. Given the type of energy involved (laser) it is likely that despite the enormous power of the the Death Star beam it would be relatively easily deflected and absorbed by Federation etc energy shields.

The Borg cube is a significant proportion of the size of the Death Star and is designed to drain shields and cut to pieces whole planets for assimilation. Only the actual weapon of the Death Star would offer any threat to the the cube and this could be avoided by entering geostationary orbit of the Death Star on the opposite side of it to the weapon.

The Death Star is one of the few vehicles shown to have an energy shield of any significance within the Star Wars universe and this shield is mounted on a planet rather than on the craft itself. This shield system would be easily defeated by sending Intrepid class Starships (or larger) or even Klingon Birds of Prey into the atmosphere to attack the shield generator (a good shot from space with phasers would actually be good enough but the point is an attack by ground forces would be utterly unnecessary).

The numerous fighter craft within the Star Wars universe would offer no threat to Federation/Klingon/Cardassian/Romulan etc forces. Each craft would easily be destroyed with a single shot. The tactic of staying close to larger craft would be useless due to the energy sheilds of the Star Trek craft.

The larger space craft within the Star Wars universe are vastly larger than those within the Star Trek universe. The Imperial Class Star Destroyers are around a kilometer long whilst the Executor class Super Star Destroyer is over 19km long. By comparison the Galaxy class starship is only 642m long and Borg cube only 9km "long".

Size, however, isn't as important as defensive and offensive power. In this regard the Star Trek universe easily outclasses the Star Wars universe.

Removing the major players from the Star Trek universe (Klingons, Federation, Borg etc) we are left with several extremely large and powerful individuals that single-handedly could destroy/remove the threat from the Star Wars universe:

1. V'ger is over 98km long and utterly defeated anything that came near it. Only a series of coincidences allowed the USS Enterprise to neutralise the threat it posed.
2. The Whale Probe is over 95km long and without a spare hump-backed whale it is undefeatable.
3. The Doomsday machine was nearly 3km long and destroyed whole planets.
4. The Caretaker's array is 4.5km wide at its widest point. It was capable of pulling or throwing any craft hundreds of lightyears.

In the end the figures add up to only one possible conclusion, the complete and utter defeat of the Star Wars universe.
