You=Imperial officer, which Trek race would you exterminate

Post by Superman »

Here's the set up. Let's say you are a high ranking Imperial Admiral, with a fleet and army under your command. You are part of the Trek invasion, and you get to pick a Trek race to exterminate. You have an obvious victory, so you get to wipe one out because they basically annoy you. You choose their method of anihilation too.

The Emperor basically told you to wipe one out, and have some fun doing it.

Personally, think I think I would target the Founders. I never did like them. They're really annoying and need to go.

First would come a bombardment of their planet, but not enough to exterminate them. Any Jem Hadar who try to interfere would be dealth with. I would then try various ways of disrupting their "link" or whatever that liquid form they exist in is. I might try blasting their link-state with ion cannons at various power outputs, or maybe experiment with turbo laser power outputs, just to see what happens.

Maybe some could be captured and used for experimentation. We could find out what their freezing temp is, their melting point, etc. I would definately have a few Jem Hadar captured just so that they have to watch this experimentation take place. Same with the stupid Horta (sp).

In the end, no more Founders. Hurray!

Aren't most of them already dead? I don't remember much about Voyager (thankfully), but I seem to recall that his homeworld was destroyed by some superweapon or something.

As for my choice, I'm not really the xenocidal type, but if push came to shove, I'd probably choose the Ba'ku. They always struck me as being unbearably pretenious and self-superior.

Since essentially every Trek species can interbreed, I make the case to the Emperor that they are all one race, so that if I have to kill one race in its entirety, I basically have to kill them all. Because the Emperor is a psychotic homicidal bastard, I'm pretty sure he'll go for it, especially since I'll be sending back all of the glorious footage from my fleets, as well as grounds-eye views from probe droids I'd drop in before the exterminations.

For the means of extermination, I'd like to go for varied methods. Like taking the oceans away from certain planets, only to dump them in their entirety on other worlds to reenact mythological floods. Dumping all of the trash from my armadas into planetary atmospheres to raise the atmospheric dust level enough to induce ice ages would make for great new reality holovision shows. For shits and giggles, I'd have my task force commanders play tic--tac-toe by burning boards visible from orbit onto planetary surfaces.


I'd also encourage my ship commanders to let loose their creative sadism, for when I run short on disturbing ideas.

The Klingons, in the long term their continiued existance stands to cause problems, they can not be controlled eaisily and will provide the greatest amount of resistance in the Alpha Quadrant. The chosen method of extermination would be...

1. All Klingon worlds (except for those with logistical potential) would be subject to BDZ

2. Remaining worlds would be subject to chamical weapons bombardmant on a massive scale, with stormtroopers eliminating any survivors

3. Any remaining Klingon ships will be hunted down and obliterated

I would assume that my actions are part of a larger strategy. In this case, the ideal goal is rather self-evident: make out a Trek race as a bogeyman, and gain lots of popularity by defeating it. The most obvious victim in this case is the Borg. Since just about everybody who knows of them are scared of them, it shouldn't take too much to convince the other races of the danger they present. All that is left is to send the Imperial fleets to destroy all of the Borg strongholds. Make the struggle seem perilous and difficult enough, and the Imperials will soon be greeted as saviors.

The key is to never annihilate the Borg. Instead, they shoud be milked for all they're worth - the Imperials will benefit as long as the space-zombies are viewed as a credible threat to the other races. As an added bonus, the Empire would be able to annex all former Borg territories without any complaint from anyone else.

Betazed since the Emperor will ultimately call for the extermination of any potential threats that are even remotely force-related. So BDZ 2 birds with one turbolaser :P

Besides, they are annoying :twisted:

So many choices.....

UFP- Though I can't stand most of the Federation crewmembers the Empire will need humans if it ever wants to develop a colonial army that is made up of Humans to keep this galaxy in check without devoting a significant Imperial presence. Also on the plus side all the other races will probably view the Earthlings and the Imperials as one in the same do.

Klingons- Originally I thought I would exterminate them but they will no doubt succeed in exterminating themselves. Furthermore it would be much more fun to enslave them and make them lose all honor.

Vulcans- Another thought of mine since they are just too damn collective. However they would not be a threat to the Empire since logicially they would have no chance of winning.

Romulans- Depending on the Empire's desire for the future of this new galaxy the Romulans could easilly serve as rulers by proxy. When faced with the choice between extinction or being the dogs of the Empire while being the masters of the Alpha Quadrant they will choice to brutally enforce the will of the Empire upon the rest of the galaxy. Of course if High Human Culture is put in place and Humans are used as the dogs of the Empire then the Romulans would have to be eliminated. But I think the Klingon example wil do.

The Borg- These are definitely marked for extinction. They provide nothing to the galaxy, they can not be reasoned with, nor be used as slaves and most importantly they are abominations to everything a good Imperial Citizen holds dear. They shall be eliminated for the glory of the Empire.

I'm not anywhere near evil enough to take pleasure in exterminating a sentient species*, but fortunately, the Borg don't count as one.

Of those that I actually have any knowledge about, definetily the Romulans. Sure, we could employ them as patsies and hired muscle for getting the rest of the Alpha Quadrant in line, but there's too great a chance that they'll start getting a little power-hungry once their little corner of the galaxy is under control.

Method: I don't care how many ships I have to call in from the home galaxy; I don't care how many strange doo-hickeys I have to construct; and I'd be willing to wait for a good couple of months to put it into action; but I will drive a moon or planet into their homeworld. I want them to live in absolute terror as they watch my fleet pull along a big-ass chunk of rock and send it on a path to hit Romulus, then destroy any ships lifting off, or the sheer destructiveness of fitting Remus with some planet-scale hyperdrive and sending it headlong into its sibling planet. I want them and the rest of the galaxy to know that we can make shit hit the fan on a stellar level, and that, on a moment's notice, they too could be next.[/wanking]

As for the other major races:

Terran/Quasi-Human: Eh, I'm biased, in and out of character, and I couldn't stand the thought of wiping out what is essentially my own flesh and blood. A couple of years to decades of tinkering with their social values and such, and they'll be fit to join us in all of our glory. The only ones I'm worried about are Betazoids, naturally, but I suppose I could try and convince His Imperial Majesty that subjugating them for intelligence purposes might be benificial (once we single out any that might be of use, of course). Since they're empaths mostly (AFAIK) I don't see any real problem we'd hit with them.

Vulcans: No qualms with them. Even if they do decide to get uppity, our technological superiority will make quick work of any insurgents.

Klingons; While the whole Honor thing might make things a bit complicated, I don't see them as dangerous enough to exterminate.

Borg: While doubtlessly the Borg will prove a hinderence with the suicidal attacks that will eventually come with regularity; the collective aspect of their society might actually have its uses; if we could find a way to insert certain patterns of thought or replicate the system wholesale, we could borg up a bunch of lab lackeys and researchers and see what we get out of their collective minds, or simply toss some poor schmuck who knows a couple of things about Imperial technology to the whole of the collective, then to coerce them into focusing almost exclusively on developing ways to improve things or develop new ways of doing things once that information's been settled (which could be anywhere from a few days or weeks to a few months, years, or decades)[/wanking]
This has been another blunder by you friendly local idiot.

I could be wrong, but from what I've seen from the end of ST:FC and the ST: Enterprise series (I know it was a shitty series, but I was intrigued and watched the first season) it looked like the Vuclans were the reason humanity became pussie commies. So (if the above is correct) after reading their history (and SoD explination for knowing this) I'd make those Vulcan bastards pay for turning humanity into a bunch of hippie commies.

I'd like to strike random targets from orbit. "They're using their weapons to blow up a school for no reason. Why would they do that? It's not logical." After mocking their total slavery to logic with these random attacks, and after my officer's and my sadistic pleasure in this is all dried up, I'd just BDZ them into oblivion.

I'd eliminate the Borg of course. They can't be reasoned with, have enslaved hundreds of worlds, and assimilation is bad joojoo that must be stopped.
Non-SOD reason is they're wanked way too much and Voyager trashed them as a big, scary threat and wasted the potential of their concept.
I don't know if the Borg can feel pain so to be sadistic I'd fuck with their collective. Computer viruses, ion cannons, and destroying Queens and communication nodes. Unimatrix 01 would be the first thing destroyed, probably by bombing it with Slave I style seismic charges.

First target would be the Borg. Everyone hates them, and it could be a massively fun PR campaign.

Plus, you know, you can recycle the Borg for parts/raw material, and there worlds are already ruined so you can strip mine them and no one will give a shit.

The PR aspects should be obvious
1- We just destroyed the Borg. How easily will we crush you?
2- With the Borg, you can show the full range of Imperial capabilities. The Death Star, Sun Crusher, World Devestators, Biological Weapons, Chemical Weapons, the Omega Frost, Darktroopers, etc. Just go nuts on them.

Then, I frame the Klingons for something and remove them as well just to drive the point home.

If your going to blame a race for blowing up an ISD, blame the Dominion. A super-dreadnaught (those big ass SOBs over Cardassia in "What we Leave Behind") turned into a fireship filled to the brim with anti-matter, would make more sense than a group of BoP's blowing up a ship

I'd do the Borg, for several reasons.

1. They're huge, so we can have some fun and let even the bench warmers kill a few cubes.

2. They've lost their humanity, so I wouldn't feel that bad for wiping out billions of them. It even gives us a chance to get our money's worth out of our superweapons.

3. And exterminating them would make us hero's to multiple races who've had to put up with their shit for centuries. Stormtroopers need some pussy too you know.

The Klingon. First the men. I would take hundreds of them up in a low-orbit ISD and basically throw them over board. Have some Storm Troopers on the ground, you know, to get in some moving target practice. I never did like them. I would take some of the major figures, torture them publically to the point where they commit suicide by choice. No honor for them. Then when I'm done and bored, as the coup-de-grace I'll blow up their stars. Hehe.

The Borg. Inhuman little bastards. I wouldn't even mess around with them, they don't deserve anything flashy. Just blow their planets and cubes to bits with the Death Star.

While we are on the subject of exterminating Star Trek species, what would happen if they Q decide to get their hands dirty and, uh, fight back? Wouldn't the Empire be fucked?

1. They are omnipotent.
2. Their Q-Continuum doesn't lie anywhere physically accessible to the Empire. They couldn't bomb it or anything.
