Protoss Boarding Action: ISD/Cube/Galaxy/BoP

[HemlockGrey]

500 Zealots
10 Dark Templar
15 High Templar
5 Dragoons
5 Archons
Zeratul

This is the force that has boarded five ships;

An Imperial Star Destroyer

Borg Cube

Galaxy-class Starship

Klingon Bird of Prey

Romulan Bird of Prey

Their mission is simple: take over the opposing ship. The enemy ship is initially unaware of their presence.

What is the outcome in each of these scenarios?

[Sea Skimmer]

Only the ISD has a chance, Stormtroopers could handle them with difficult if it where not for the High Templar and Zeratul. With Zeratul and them I think they would win, with heavy losses.

Borg Cube, Borg=Utterly Fucked

Galaxy=Hopelessly Fucked though the Dragoons and Archons can't fit inside anything but the cargo and shuttle bays. They might be able to move around outside the hull though if they have some way of keeping on it.

K Bird of Prey=Beyond Fucked. They'd attempt to fight hand to hand of course, but all but the biggest version would have greatly outnumbered crews and Zealots would slice right through them ten to one anyway, disruptors or no.

R Bird of Prey=Very fucked. The crew likely are better armed then the other Trek ships, but there still screwed.

[Raxmei]

Wouldn't a battlecruiser or similar be a better choice to represent the Klingons? I don't think you can fit 500 people on a bird of prey.

[Exonerate]

Borg: They are not a threat. Ignore them.
*SWOOSH*
Borg: The loss of one drone is irreleva-
*SWOOSH*
Borg: Hostile forces now considered a threat.
*The Borg start moving towards the Protoss*
*Protoss unleash Psi Storm, and the DT slice them up while cloaked *
Borg has no chance at all. An ISD might, but I'm not sure... If they play it right, the DT could sneak around, and sabotage the ship...

The Protoss Crush everything from Trek. However, an ISD has a crew of thirty-seven thousand, with 9,700 ground troops. The Protoss boarding party will be seriously outnumbered.

Your also forgeting the Warship Esk Segmination of every Corridors


IE the Archons will be a LIABILITY

Why? Well they are just shy of the length between the comparmental blast doors so all the Captian has to do is trigger of the Blast Doors(Standerd Procedure to let troops get into position) and now the Archons are stuck(To big to fit around) and the only way out is to blast through the umm blast doors

With only a foot of emtpy room

As for the rest
500 Zealots-Slaughtered by Automatic Weapons and stuned by sonic gernades
10 Dark Templar-Potentily useful but 10 Troops does not turn the tide of war with 5000+
15 High Templar+ Psy Storm = EITHER, Lots of damage, mostly self inflicted(They need LOS) OR The afformentioned Self inflicted plus it rips the armor up and ejects the Templar into space

Zeratul-Poweful not that powerful

Face it fokes on the ISD, the defenders have a TON of options to use aginst the opposition, they are fighting in small cramped corrdiors VS automatic Weapons

And if we have learned anything is that a 10 Meter Long Empty Corridor with Psy Blades VS Blaster-rifles, Blaster Rifles Win

Psi storm doesn’t require LOS. You can cast up onto cliff tops or through walls. Casting behind every door set will easily deal with the Defenders. Blast doors have been shown singly, I can recall any example of closely spaced pairs.

Anyway, using blast doors also means very close range. That makes hand-to-hand combatants with potent shielding quite effective.

[beyond hope]

Isn't the crew compliment of a Klingon Bird-of-Prey something like 14? The Protoss will mostly be hanging off the outer hull because there's not enough room for them all to fit.
