Simply put the canon evidence supports my statement.
Too borrow Mike's words, The Empire could squash the Federation like a bug. |
Yeah but the Borg would mop the floor with the Empire

Yeah right. One Star Destroyer can easily destroy a Borg Cube. An SD has about as much lasers as the entire Fleet you saw at the beginning of First Contact.

I cry a lot when I watch movies, and I cried during a few Star Gate SG-1 episodes, like when Daniel dies.
I cried at the end of Finding Nemo.
I like the song The Final Countdown.

yeah but then you gotta look at it like this... there is a lot more power in a borg cube than in an SD AND the Borg have transporter technology. andd if u take out the domes then the SD is defenceless leading a full on boarding by hundreds of Borg drones... cue assimilation... plus I'm sorry but sayin shit like 'resitance is futile' is a good point..and if the borg fail there's always species 8472... damn I really shoulda spent more time gettin laid than watching star trek when i was 16!!!

The Empire has enough military resources to squash every super-power in the Star Trek universe (minus the omni-potents Q, God, and Trellane) hundreds of times over.
Even on a ship-to-ship basis, imperial vessels would absolutely squash the competition. The sheer mass, power output, shield power, accuracy, etc. Hell, storm troopers are billions of times smarter than almost all federation citizens (or the borg). I explain in The Corrupted Wish Game to Aramor that feds have implants in thier ass that prevent all sorts of benificial stuff, even masturbation is illegal by the prime directive.
The borg never sent more than one ship to Earth at a time, therefore, they are fucking dumbasses.
The borg was infected by a virus, therefore, they never assimilated computer firewall technology, and are dumbasses.
The borg had six months to solve the issue with Species 8472, with the processing power of billions or trillions of minds far superior to human intelligences, but it took a fedy hologram six hours, therefore, the Borg are complete dumbasses.
This one is the kick in the groin: we see in Voyager the borg are dependant on assimilating other species technology and knowledge in order to advance themselves, they have no room for advancement other than by acting as a parasite on other species, therefore, the Borg are dumbasses and wusses.
Read ST vs SW in five minutes dumbass. I assure you this guy knows what he's talking about.

Ok..knowing all that info is cheesy...geek!

Read ST vs SW in five minutes. Marvelous. A fucking Firespray can take on the Enterprise D. This would mean that an entire fleet of TIE Fighters could probably take out the entire Federation's Fleet.
Oh and you said that if the Borg boarded an SD they would fucking assimilate them... yeah right. Do you have any idea how many soldiers there are on board of an SD, all trigger happy. And besides, how are the Borg going to get close enough to board the ship?

Here's one. I watch (and like) that Imaginary Friend show on Cartoon Network.

One thing i never got about the star wars universe is how people can get their ship's shields back up by like fiddling with a few wires. I mean, shouldn't their batteries be drained and need time to recharge? what does playing with some wires do? they could be rerouting power but then they'd have no life support or not be able to travel as fast.
I thought borg shields were dependant on the the frequency of the phaser/laser or whatever. If a star destroyers first shot can destroy the borg ship then they have no time to adjust.

Who sais they lost the shields because the power is depleted. They usually lose shields because they are damaged. Ergo, certain circuitry and wires are damaged, thus with re-routing the power you get the shields back online.

how do lasers go through shields unless they ran out of power? and why is it as easy as fiddling with a wire? If anything power would be computer controlled and routed that way.

The basic mechanism of sci-fi sheilds. An energy dampening field that will absorb incoming energy, spread it out over a larger area, and re-radiate it back out to space. However the actual abosrbtion and re-radiation takes compartitively large amounts of power compared to standby mode, and therefore the shield batteries are depleted somewhat.
Rerouting shield power to a direct link with the power generation system (yon fusion core for example) can be done in emergency situations, but stresses energy and energy protection demands, and doesn't last much longer than normal shielding. Under this type of situation, fuel for the primary reactor is used up more quickly, and heat-dissipation systems for the power core would be put to thier limits, any overload could seriiously fry the ship.
Physical objects are deflected by normal electro-magnetic repulsion. Gravitics may seem natural (the ship produces artifical gravity of its own), however electro-magnetism is a far more powerful force, many dozens of orders of magnitude for elementary particles. Requriments would be comparitiviely nil, as a gravitic shield system would need to generate mass the size of large planets for such shielding to work.
It ahs been speculated that physical objects can be deflecting using zero-point energy fields, but my knowledge on ZPE is very limited, therefore I have ommited this subject from this particular essay.

I bawled like a baby at the end of Flight of the Navigator, and this was just a few months ago...
Surprisingly, Short Circuit didn't hold up nearly as well as I thought it would.

Cool. Where the hell did you find that stuff out?

Bits and pieces and stuff from around the web, mixed together with my own nitpickiness correcting the shit.
It's elementary Watson.

I saw those movies when I was a kid. I had to fight back the tears. Anyone remember the movie "Batteries not Included"? That was a tear jerker as well.

Batteries Not Included... *looks to his right*
Yeah, it's somewhere in that big pile of videotapes. But when I saw it I was still vewwy vewwy young, and I didn't understand half of it...
