[QUOTE]Originally posted by David Templar: [QB] Just some points about the comparison page: "The Federation seems to have no tanks or armored personnel carriers." Combat hoppers were mentioned in DS9. Used as troop carriers, they were apparently armored to a certain extent, judging by what that Starfleet NCO-lookalike said to Jake. There's no reason why they can't be armed to serve in a more direct combat role. "Other special advantages" Ecological weapons: The technology to destroy all life on a M-class planet by blazing away the atmosphere comes to mind. The Klingons did it in "The Chase" without batting an eye. Saves one from having to build an entire Death Star, blow up a planet, and litter a solar system. Interphasic techology: Is there anything it can't do? Artificial intellegence: AI seems to be more advanced in Star Trek. You have sentient androids and holograms, versus your idiotic basically-just-slaves droids. Terraforming: As far as I know, SW never demonstrated, canonically, the ability to terraform planet, and certainly not on the scale of Genesis. Advanced genetic engineering: Our dear Dr. Bashir and his book club friends, Mr. Barkley's mutagenic virus, DNA alternations, to name a few. Nanotechnology: A bloody cadet (even though it's Wesley) could engineer a nanobot capable of nearly crippling a ship. [/QB][/QUOTE]
