UFP Galaxy class starship vs. SST Roger Young (movie)

[Kamakazie Sith]

Assume experienced crews for both ships. Who would win in a battle to the death?

[Alyeska]

This is a REALLY one sided fight. The Roger Young took what was caclulated to be a weapon barely in the KT power and it tore the ship in half.

[Darth Wong]

Not enough information. The Roger Young in the movie never demonstrated its space combat abilities, being used exclusively as a courier of ground troops and aircraft.

I could say the same thing about Klingon Vor'cha heavy cruisers. Remember how the JH cockroaches tore them apart, in some cases without even disintegrating in the process?

Except the Jem'Hadar has unknown hull strength and mass. It also has shields. The Roger Young has no shields at all.

[Howedar]

It got torn apart by giant plasma blasts moving at (at the very least) escape velocity. The fact that they came from the asses of bugs is not an issue.

But what if the GCS warp core explodes first? j/k

True, but if it has accurate, long-range missiles, it can pulverize the GCS without its defensive capabilities becoming an issue. The best defense is a good offense. Which is why I pointed out that given our lack of knowledge about its ship-to-ship capabilities, we really can't say.

We CAN, however, say that their FTL propulsion is vastly superior to that of the Federation, judging by the map view of the Bugs' relative location in the Milky Way galaxy.

[Sea Skimmer]

IIRC the model had a couple weapons turrets on it, smaller versions of what we see blast the asteroid.

More likely it has firing ports for the MI's rifles and Mini crockets.

Indeed much much better the what the Federation has, since the entire timeframe for the start of the moive to the first landing is one year. Also much better then the Book's 46 light years in six weeks.
