Truce @ Bakura force sub

Post by Darth Fanboy »

The combined Rebel/Imperial Fleet from Truce @ Bakura versus invaders from the ST galaxy rather than the Ssi Ruuk.

The combined fleet consisted of:

Carrack Class Cruiser Dominant
Alliance Escort Carrier Flurry
Six Corellian Gunships
Planetary Based TIE Fighters (standard fighters, i think no more than 72)
72 Rebel Starfighters based on Flurry, X Wings and A Wings IIRC
the Millenium Falcon

Which Star Trek power would fare best against this fleet assuming a fleet of similar strength?

none of them. There where several B-Wings included and those alone could blow hole in most ST Cap Ships. Maybe a large fleet of Akira Class Ships could cause the Rebel-Imperial group.

A Decent Force of Akulas stands a good chance of winning, The Slave Rig fighters attacked in Swarms of thousands aginst capships and it still took a beating before they went down, Siss-Ruuk techology is rather weak by Imperal Standerds meaning a nice 800 Akiras could have won the day in this substution though to be certian I would want 48 Defiants to go on Cap ship strikes

Interesting comments so far, 800 Akiras though seems like a much larger force than anything the Feds could field though. And im sure that the Ssi Ruuk tech isn't that weak by Imperial Standards that a TIE Fighter could taken them on with a 1-100 disadvantage

I'm going to have to grab my copy of TaB and come up with Ssi Ruuvi fleet estimates.

I belive slightly under two thousand fighters and twelve cruisers, They are pretty much dependant on the Fighters however

A United Federation of Planets Akula SSN loads one of it's fearsome multi-petaton torpedoes.

That's about right - and the Rebels were kinda short on spare parts as well.

I said 72 because thats how many fighters I thought the FLurry was carrying, my bad. thought it held a whole wing. Forgot about the other ships too.

that being said it still doesnt seem to be altering the outcome much.

The 4 B-Wings alone could take on a feddie fleet. IIRC a B-Wing is equiped with a LTL which can pop even a sovies shields.

The rebel task force consisted of
one escort carier,
1 correlian corvette
4 gunships not 6
and less then 36 fighters
the rebellian couldnt spare a large force than that

If you had bothered to read the long dead thread we already corrected that issue n00b.

B-Wings are powerful for big fighters but I'm not so sure they could successfully take on a Federation fleet. It depends on how big the fleet is, of course.

The B-Wings will each probably carry anti-capship weapons, right? Do we know how those weapons compare to Slave One's, and how many do they carry?

Also, how do B-Wing shields compare to Y or X-Wings', which struggle under the impact of a few starfighter blasts, or several kilotons? Since the B is bigger, I think its shields are probably going to be more powerful, but by how much? Enough that a dead-on phaser strike or two would be ineffectual? (I do think the Starfleet ships could hit a B-Wing.)

Also, what do people consider a "LTL" lately? I always regarded them as the weapons used to vaporize asteroids in TESB, or weapons that are comparable in size to the Acclamator's 6 megaton/shot cannons. Is a light turbolaser thought to be something different now?

If they're still regarded as weapons which typically output a couple of megatons or so, I don't think that'd necessarily drop a SCS's shields, let alone "pop" it ;) But if they're hundreds or even dozens of megatons, I would have to agree with you.

I definitely think the B-Wings' missiles or protorps will probably pack enough of a punch to kill Starfleet cruisers with a single hit. But with only 4 Bees, I could also see the Federation ships doing serious damage before they themselves were destroyed. It's very hard to say, with the Bees' shield strength as an unknown...

Slight qualifier here:

I meant a weapon in the few megatons range shouldn't pop a SCS's shield in a single hit (it might; depends on how powerful you think their shields might be).

Multiple hits, perhaps as few as 5-6, could do the trick if those turbolasers have the same kind of power the small capship weapons do.

I don't see that such is impossible by any means, I simply can't confirm it at the moment...

As for 800 Atkiras...
I don't think the fed has more than 50, mabey less?
Unless you play startreck amada...
And mabey 10 defients...
And lss than 15 Glaseys,
And only 2 sov's...
So it would get its ass kicked,
Unlessed they just kept ramming them, but pasher banks make short work of TIEs, pin point accurcy...
But no so vs's B-Wings, hey have 16 I think Hevery rockeds, which makes a star destroyer wince, and ions cannons...
And hyper drive..
Good bye fedeation.
Perhaps I should be the new battle of wolf 359.
