Would a Federation warship like the Defiant out gun a Star Wars Star Destroyer? Who has a bigger armada? Who has the tactical advantage? Don’t forget that The Federation includes the Klingons, who love warfare and have fast, agile, heavily armed ships, with cloaking devices, and the Vulcans with superior logic and tactical planning.
Not really. The Emperor held together a bunch of power-mad sociopaths who enjoyed controlling the galaxy. Without Palpatine you get splintering and warlords
O’Brian will unite all the warlords together (in the pattern buffer)
That sounds awful. I’d like to go home to Star Trek now!
