DW planatiod versus borg cube?

the fifth empire had 99,999 or thereabouts of those things. i say they would have wiped the floor with the borg, especially once they perfected those super-missiles.

It depends on the crew. SG1 consistantly destroys Mother Ships.
Does that count?

Grudge-match.com has done some interesting match-ups in the past, good for laughs if nothing else...

USS Enterprise vs. the Death Star

Borg Cube vs. "Independence Day" mothership

Bablyon 5 vs. DS9

USS Voyager vs. Battlestar Galactica

the enterprise would destroy the death star by the end of the episode. I, proffeser Narf, will now demonstrate why:

Death Star - Big, Evil Thing Of Death.
Number Of Big, Evil Things Of Death the Enterprise has blown up - I've lost count.

This has been a lesson from proffeser Narf.

I say it is up to the crew. If you swap out the crews of the ships the results would be the opposite.

Heh, I'd say the Argo (or Yamamoto...) would kick all thier collective butts

And the Enterprise/Deathstar thing has been disproven by many a Trek geek as the Enterprise is made of an alloy that is 'immune to laser fire' (according to many a published tech manual...)...so the Deathstar's TurboLASER batteries would do absolutely nothing

And to the ultimate sci-fi ship I'd have to say either Unicron or the SDF of Robo-Tech fame...

That is like saying a bullet proof vest is immune to all bullets because it can stop some of them. How about a big bullet, with tons of force behind it? Now compare a piddly laser to the very high powered ones used by SDs and such... the ST ships would have no special immunity to such lasers, and certainly not to the Death Star's weaponry.
