The Empire would walk all over the Federation. Period. The Empire just has too much power. The Federation couldn't stop just one Borg cube and it decimated their entire fleet. In the ST universe, what little I know about it, it took a long time for them to recover from that single episode. Even if ST shield tech was much more advanced than SW's, the Empire would just overwhelm the Federation. Besides, the Empire (classic) has Darth Vader. Star Trek has.. Wesley Crusher.. 'nuff said.<br /><br />Somewhere on this board, I posted a pic I put together of a comedic battle between Federation vessels and one Star Wars Super Star Destroyer. It pretty much sums up what would happen. I'd repost it but it's on a dead hard drive atm and I don't remember what Science Fiction forum thread thread I originally put it in. All the ships in the picture were to <b>scale</b>. A Super Star destroyer is just about the same size as V'ger from the first Star Trek movie. (Edit - Sorry, I was thinking about another ship. SSD is not as big as V'ger) The Empire has several of them and just oodles of regular Star Destroyers...<br /><br />PS - The Empire does have shield technology btw. For instance, the big round ball things on Star Destroyers are shield generators. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>
