ok here's the scenario 30 kilingon warriors whith their bat'leth's are fighting 30 yuhzaan vong warriors who are armed whith amphistaffs on open terrain and whith equal knowledge of the other's capabilities who wins?

The Yuuzhan Vong armor is the primary advantage here. They win. I think that their weapons also seem to be superior, and they seem more agile and skilled if not quite as strong as Klingon warriors. I give it to the YV.

I doubt a single Vong would go down, unless of course the Klingons involed weren't run of the mill grunts and were actual characters but since that isn't what the thread is about the Vong pound the Klingons into the ground, hard.

I think the Klingons would do more damage than that, but it would be pretty lopsided.

The amphistaff is a better weapon and Vong are good warriors plus they have better armor as you have said, while the Klingons may get lucky the Vong come out ahead in almost every catergory except the ability to absorb damage which the Klingons may take due to their multiple back up organs.

Vong warriors can go head to head with Jedi and win.

Klingon warriors get a good thrashing from skinny pregnant Bajorans.

The answer is pretty obvious.

also you must think about the victories scored by each race the YV have devastated the new republic and captured courescant the klingons got their asses whipped every time they fought somone whith the exception of the dominion war when they had the federation and the romulans helping them and that altered timline when the E-C was not destroyed in that one they had victories over the worthless excuses for soldiers the federation uses (which can lose to tribbles unless kirk or some other major character is there to pull their asses from the fire)

Darksider: You keep picking these very one sided fights which you then post in after awhile expressing just how one sided they are - why?

Your line of reasoning above is stupid however, the YV defeating the NR has zip to do with their ground troops (which a good portion of aren't even YV).

The Klingons were beaten in one or two engagements that we see which are dominated by long range weapony (well not hand to hand at any rate) and thus have no rela bearing no Klingon combat hand to hand.

In effect you are correct in you conclusion but your reasoning is... flawed, at best.

Well forgive me it's been a long time since i read any NJO books (i tend to go through em pretty fast) and i honestly did not think it would be so one sided

Vong. Their armour and staffs can resist lightsabers. Plus the whole staff/wip/snake thing will thrown them off. And thud and razor bugs.

Not to mention the range of the amphistaff. They can spit venom from a distance, and since TNG Klingons never use guns anyway, the YV will pick off the Klingons without even breaking a sweat.

The Vong's biggest problem will be the possibility of breaking an ankle after tripping over the pile of dismember corpses or slipping on a pool of blood. No doubt though there foot wraps where designed with this in mind though.

In reality the Vong would just through 30 razor and thud bugs and wipe out the Klingon's in a volley, low-end guided missiles are very useful against morons with swords. But even taking those away they'd rape the Klingon's close in as well.

Amphistaff's would probably slice clear though the bat'leth's.

Bad ass factor. Vong > Klingons

TheDarkling · Post by **TheDarkling** » 2002-12-14 05:33am

Who said they had Razor or thud bugs? and remember they know each others abilities so the whip change won't throw them offf.

I don't think they do have their little grenades/shurikans for this exercise. The whip thing may not throw off the Klingons, but the Klingons would have difficulty reacting to it. The same goes for the caustic poison, though in all honesty the Klingon armor might provide them with some degree of protection from such an attack.

Thats why I said the YV would own the Klingons, I was simlpy correcting those poinys that others have made.

I know. I was agreeing with you. We actually, in this particular debate, have reversed opinions from normal. I think that ST would do more damage than you appear to think they would do. We really have no qualitative way of measuring this, though, so I think it really just comes down to a matter of opinion, after a while. In any case, I think it's a fun exercise, if only because I'm more pro-Trek in this one and you are more pro-Wars.

Who'd a thunk it?

While I have a large amount of distain for Vong tech, ships, tactics and most other things I do think that they are good in hand to hand (come on they can match Jedi, Jedi that have been handicapped somewhat but still).

Well at least this thread proves we arent to stuck in our ways
