Actually, it has a very simple and possible answer.
I, personally, think that Star Trek would acheive a victory after a lengthy and vicous war.
I, personally, think that you don't know a thing about the topic you are speaking about. Unless you are talking omnipotent beings, Trek goes down like a 2 dollar whore.
Both sides have awesome qualities, and the resources.
Actually resources has always been the deciding factor. One side has 70% of a glaaxy to draw upon for resources and builds moon sized space station in months. The other has 550 planets max and thakes 6 years to build a cruiser.
But it all comes down to a couple factors:
Firepower, speed, and defenses?
of course those are not the ones you chose.
1.Teleportation-Star Trek has the power of teleportation, this would be the greatest advatage in the war against Star Wars. All they do is beam a couple hundred thousand troops into the heart of a planets capital and take the city down form the inside! Or if a battle is going to badly for Start Trek just beam all the troops to a safer location
Aside from the fact that one of the major flaws is that Trek doesn't have ground troops, there is the simple fact that planetary shields and defenses would preclude your plan and that jamming, such as was observed at the Battle of Geonosis, would prevent the use of transporters.
And you are talking about sending spandex clad troops up against guys in armor, with more powerful weaons and combined forces tactics. Do you hate redshirts or something?
2.Warp Speed-Warp speed is another critical factor in the war. I don't recall any Star War ships going to warp ten. This speed could be the difference in losing ten enterprise-sized ships or just losing one.
You do realize that a very slow class 3 hyperdrive used on Darth Mauls ship was able to cross half the galaxy overnight (as in under 12 hours), right? THat is far, far FAR faster then warp is. And trek can't do warp 10 either.
Well to me these seem to be the biggest advatages that Star Trek would have over Star wars. Their might be numerous other small ones be these could be the ones that turn the tide of war. But what do you think?
I think you didn't do a damn bit of research.
This is my first post so please forgive any errors or such in it, as I am still not accustomed to posting at this site
Or thinking apparently.
