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.

      If we are talking planetary warfare, I am now remembering the shield domes from Phantom Menace.

      Don’t forget about the energy shielding used to protect the Mustafar refineries in RotS.

      I am not a super buff on either franchise, and I definitely know more Star Wars, but I don’t remember any kind of terrestrial, infantry, or personal shielding in Star Trek, with the exception of the Borg, who continue to wreck the Federation because the only shields the Federation has are bubbles around their ships that fail pretty quickly with an energy weapon barrage.
