Re: OT: Character VS. Character
 

I couldn't resist posting. Obviously Garek would win. For a few reasons.

1. It doesn't matter if Garek can't aim. Federation phasers have autoaim.

http://www.st-v-sw.net/STSWground-newphas2.html

Anyway that site analyses the technology of Star Trek and Star Wars, and in most ways Star Trek comes out on top. Maybe Han Solo will pick up a phaser, and maybe he won't... but Garek would definitely use a phaser or some Cardassian variant, and could take out Han Solo without a sweat with it. And the "friends" argument... well Han Solo has Jedi friends, but I'd rather be in Garek's bird of prey than Solo's Millenium Falcon anyday lol.

2. I remember an episode where Garek and O'Brian were trapped in an old Cardassian space station where they resurrected some Cardassian soldiers. My memory is fuzzy, but I remember Garek killing a few of the Cardassians, and nearly killing O'Brian, because he was affected by some virus. Obviously, Garek is a formidable opponent... the "Tailor" moniker doesn't do him justice, just as calling Han Solo a "Smuggler" doesn't give Han Solo due credit...

Anyway I hope this doesn't go OT, with a SW vs ST debate starting lol that would be stupid. But with Garek and Han, ignoring the technology and other factors, I think Garek would win, because he is the more ruthless of the two. Ignoring everything else, and just comparing personalities, Garek wins in the leathality Category, because he is a cold-blooded killer, and Han is a playboy.

So whatever way you cut it, Garek wins =D

Well, I think Han Solo would win. He's really good with a bLaster, he draws fast and shoots fast. Remember when Han shoots Darth Vader the second the door opened and he saw him in Cloud City?

As for Garrak, I must have missed the DS9 episode where he actually did something besides acting all shifty and mysterious like he usually is. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

As I see it:
------------
If they started a reasonable distance away, Garak would win via subterfuge probably without ever seeing Han in person, and make it look like Luke did it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In a western-style shootout, assuming both are present with only a hand weapon, they'd both die from pre-tenth-step shots.

In a walk-in-the-room face-to-face and unexpected-need-to-kill situation, Han would probably be the faster draw.

I figure if Boba Fett, who is a sneaky, cold blooded killer, couldn't get Solo, nor could the Empire hunting him, I would think Garrik would have a might bit of trouble getting him.

2 cents worth

I figure if Gul Dukat and the Cardassian Empire, and the Dominion couldn't get Garek, then Han Solo should have some problems getting him =)

Very true. Would make for an entertaining fight http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
