Sci-fi Free for all on Endor

Post by Renewed_Valour1 »

Each team is released on the Endor forest moon. They are equipped with their standard combat equipment that they would usally have for such a situation. They start in random locations at least 10 km away from each other with no knowledge where the other teams are. The last team standing is allowed to leave the moon. They are however allowed to form brief alliances but in the end these alliances must be broken to ascertain the winning team. As a random factor a squad of 12 random Klingon warriors are on the planet that have the sole purpose to attempt to eliminate all the teams and will ally with none of them.


Team Wars:
Han Solo
Chewbacca
Leia (RotJ)

Team Trek:
Sisko
Data
Dax

Team Andromeda
Hunt
Rommie
Tyr

Team B5:
Sheridan
Garibaldi
Lennier

Who is the top team?

Han is cooler than Dyan.

Leia is smarter than Rommie. AIs do not strike me as being tactically bright.

And, of course, Chewie ownz Tyr.

Team Wars would win, SG-1 in second because of ammo.

Interesting ...
Team Wars:
Han Solo
Chewbacca
Leia (RotJ)
Solo, Chewbacca, and Leia are all good shots, all combat veterans, all hardened by losses to the Empire. Strong team. Chewbacca defends their position while Han is trying to stick his hand down Leia's pants.
Team Trek:
Sisko
Data
Dax
Sisko and Dax are useless. As we have seen many times on the show, they have trouble keeping their positions from being overrun by knife-wielding Klingons. Data is basically the entire team as far as tactics go. Luckily, he has excellent reflexes. Unfortunately, he has been surprised and beaten on many occasions, so he can easily be sniped, and he is also easily distracted.

Sisko and Dax are killed by the Klingons in a "glorious" battle, since they are the only people in the entire scenario who will consistently allow themselves to end up in hand-to-hand combat with knife-wielding morons. Data kills the remaining Klingons with his superior strength and reflexes, but he is killed in turn by a long-range shot from one of the other teams while he's carefully inspecting a fascinating specimen of wood.
Team Andromeda
Hunt
Rommie
Tyr
People actually watch that show?
Team B5:
Sheridan
Garibaldi
Lennier
Sheridan, Garibaldi, and Lennier are all pretty tough. However, they don't know the Empire, which is the unmentioned wildcard here. An entire legion of troops, complete with walkers and probably air support. While Team Star Wars knows to avoid the Empire like the Black Plague, these guys head right to the biggest building in the area in hopes of getting help. They are immediately arrested and executed as Rebel spies.

C'mon, Darth, don't you think Han can wait until after the battle to stick his hand down Leia's pants? 8)

Remember —it'll be a glorious slow-motion[/i] battle. And I expect some initial Klingon casualties even before the fight when Sisko's excessive pontificating causes the ears on some of the Klingons to bleed profusely. 8)

Data kills the remaining Klingons with his superior strength and reflexes, but he is killed in turn by a long-range shot from one of the other teams while he's carefully inspecting a fascinating specimen of wood.


Or while he's trying to figure out the appropriate human emotion to relate to the experience of the piece of wood. 8)

Hard to believe, isn't it? 8)

Actually, I'd expect Lennier to be naive enough to approach the Imperial shield bunker looking for help. He promptly gets captured and tortured, and gives up Sheridan because of his insane jealousy for Delenn. Sheridan rushes in to try to rescue Lennier and promptly gets caught and tortured and after a while starts hallucinating about seeing Delenn in the place where no shadows fall. The mission is hopelessly FUBAR and the troopers find Garibaldi with a bottle. They're all executed by planet dawn. 8)

Good point. I can't comment beyond this since I really don't follow the show, but could they beat a General, a Princess and a Wookie? Mind you I really have no idea besides that. B5 team, sorry I love the show, but take them off their little station, or any other urban areas and they are screwed. Garibaldi is street smart for sure, but I don't see him adjusting well to the great outdoors. Sheriden is a maglomaniac, he would probably show up to the garrison and demand their immediate surrender before his wife comes over and threatens their ass...

Funny you should mention that. I've always had the impression that the B5 characters would take a page from the domesticated turkey's book if they were taken off the station and put on a planet, outside, in a rainstorm.

That is to say, they'd look up at the rain long enough that their mouths would fill with water and they'd drown.

Hey, it'd certainly be in character with the rest of their self-preservation instincts.

:D

"If you must die, that I may live...then die you shall! Thus speaks GALACTUS!"

(Note: I believe the point Mike was initially trying to make was that for any powerful sci-fi series, there will always be an uber-series able to crush it...in my opinion, series shouldn't always be judged based on which could crush the other...if that were the case, Marvel and DC would almost always come out on top, due mainly to their lack of effort to remain logical)

Hunt has a fair share of training from his Argosy Special Operations Days. Tyr well has his experience from being one of the best mercenaries. Rommie is well Rommie.

On the Star Wars side though their training and experience doesn't seem to be as formal they are fairly good at what they do and know how to avoid the Empire better.

I don't really understand the whole "uber-klingon strength" thing. As far as I've seen, Kirk has kicked lots of klingon arse, Riker owned that klingon crewman during the crew-exchange "program", but somehow Worf is super-strong and everybody thinks that's the klingon standard. I think that all klingons are basically of the "couch-potato" variety, and Worf works out only because he feels he needs to compensate his lack of klingon-ness.

Not fair, since the Empire isn't mentioned as a factor in this free-for-all. Only knife-wielding klingons.

The objective is to defeat the other teams, not the Empire.
