Who'd win in a fight? a thread for us nerds

the openning crawl for this dorkathon?

War! The Fake Federaion is crumbling
under attacks by the ruthless Imaginary Empire.
There are nerds on both sides. Hot Pockets are everywhere.

In a stunning move, the fiendish Dork Lazer has swept
into the Neutral Zone and kidnapped Leiutennant Data,
leader of the open shareware fanfest.

As the Starship Nevergetlaid attempts
to flee the really heavy scene,

two RPG dungeon masters lead a desperate mission
to convince these geeks that talking gold robots are kinda ghey...."

We are all nerds dude. bass, music, movies, it's all the same.
 
Enterprise D Galaxy Class. every time. Picard and Data are a force to be reckoned with.

TNG FTMFW! And, Riker was (or should it be 'might be at some point in the furtue?') one of the Federation's best tacticians. And they had a Klingon. And they had Klingon buddies willing to fight to the death with them should the need arise.

To the whomever made that chart, why the **** isn't Serenity on there?
 
you guys are playing "who'd win" all wrong.. you're not supposed to pick to like things and decided who'd win in something they're actually good at/known for. You're supposed to pick two totally different things and pick who'd win between them at something really arbitrary. For instance:

Who'd win in an olympic housekeeping contest: Bear Grylls or Goofy?
 
The Imperial Star Destroyer is bigger...but that makes it a large easy target. It needs Tie Fighter support to stay alive...at least when the shields are down.

How strong is the Destroyers shields?
How strong is the Enterprise shields?

im not completely up on my nerdness.....I forget, do sheilds need to be down to fire weapons from both ships?

I want to say the Star Destroyer could win... but i remember the Rebels seemed to take a few out easily.

The Enterprise has good shields and packs alot of fire power, but those odds will change if either one has to lower shields to fire.
