  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] i_hate_babies [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Omnicent And what advantage does the Empire have over the Borg? I see none, in fact the Empire is inferior to the Borg by quite a ways.[/quote] Ok, let me put this in perspective for you. according to Riker, it would take the entire photon torpedo payload to destroy a single 5km wide hollow asteroid in "Pegasus". In other words, it would take the entire payload of the Enterprise-D, a capital warship with a crew of a thousand. A single one of Jango Fett's Void-7 Seismic charges in Attack of the clones completely obliterated entire asteroids aproximately 5-10 kilometers in size and others surrounding them. Another way to look at this. Star Wars Episode II Incredible Cross-Sections, the only official release to state the actual stats for Star Wars ships lists Jango Fett's Seismic charges at 12,000 metatons each. The most powerful nuclear weapon Earth has ever tested was equvalent to 50,000 kilotons. The combined total power of all nuclear weapons used on earth is 510,000 kilotons. If you convert 12,000 megatons into kiltons, you get 120,000,000 kilotons. This is 235 times as powerful as all the nuclear weapons that have been used on earth combined or 2,400 more powerful than the most powerful nuclear weapon we have today. This is also equivalent to 6 million times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Nagasaki or 8 million times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Jango Fett can carry 9 of these seismic charges. The power of the missles he carries is 190 megatons or 190,000 kilotons each. Almost 4 times as powerful as the most powerful nuclear bomb we have today. According to The Star Trek Next Generation Technical Manual, the only official release with statistics, the photon torpedoes on the Enterprise-D are a mere 64 megatons, or 64,000 kilotons. Barely more powerful than the most powerful nuclear weapon we have today. And this is the most powerful weapon the Enterprise carries. Jango Fett, a bounty hunter, who's ship is nothing more than an insect compared to a star destroyer, could destroy the entire federation armada by itself. Please explain to me how the Borg, who cannot defeat the Federation, could possibly defeat the empire.[/quote] The Borg always attack the Federation with 1 ship, or 2 ships. NEVER it's full strength. Borg Ships use energy beams to carve up planets for fuel. Quantum and Anti-matter torpedoes are far more powerful than photon torpedoes. The weapons on the Enterprise are defensive, they aren't a war ship. Torpedoes have almost no effect on shields. The Borg conquered over a quarter of the galaxy without once asking for a ceasefire. As soon as one shot if fired at a Borg ship, their shields adapt to render subsequent attacks useless. The Borg assimilate technology and knowledge. The second they get to a computer terminal, or capture a ship it's game over. The transporter technology alone give ST a massive advantage, all they have to do is beam a bomb over and capture the ship. A Borg "Tactical Cube" is a far more advanced ship than those featured more often in the series. Personal shielding gives them a massive advantage in infantry combat. Lasers have very little power compared to phasers. And if a bunch of raggedy ass Rebels could defeat the Empire, then the most sinister villans from ST could -blam!-slap them into the sun.
