Star Trek Vs. Battlestar Galactica

What if the Galactica found Earth in the 23rd Century and unfortunately they must trespass through Klingon space!!!!!!

And of course the galactic geek question: "Who would win if the Enterprise fought the Galactica?"

In the last year or so there's been some interesting and bizarre debates about the "who would win?"

So here's Bobby Diablo's Galactic Geek ground rules for this scenario taking place in DC Crisis Earth Universe 66.5:

Section A: Battlestar Galactica
1) Quit referencing the new version of Galactica. No bullets on these old school ships: Lasers & Missiles were established in the original show. The timeline of when the show occurs was sort of established by Galactica 1980, a 2nd version of the show Universal Studios is trying to forget about and so are we.

2) Very few Galactica ships can go past Light Speed. (See: The Long Patrol episode: recon viper) The Galactica was established at a max of Light speed.

3) Size wise, according to the show and show's bible then: the warship is about 3 miles long. Thats a lot of 800 year old Colonial tin and rusted pipes. Must be pretty damn durable. Union labour built?

4) Power source: was established as Tylenium fuel, and shes a plasma gas guzzler.

Section B) Star Trek (mostly old school)
5) In the episodes the Enterprise sometimes battled at sublight. The Klingons reasoning I guess, is they like to see the "terror of thier enemies eyes" thru the windows.

6) Shields. In DS9 the Jem H'dar pounded the hell out of the Federation as thier weapons cut thru shields faster than an Alien spilling blood on the decks of the Nostramo! Same principle applies here with the Galactica lasers, except the Klingon shields use a different alien tech, so the Galactica weapons aren't as effective. (Run with it, you'll enjoy the show better. Also if your of age: get a beer.)

7) The Viper pilots shoot the Enterprise because a) they're in a war and a big white ship shows up, whom they don't know and kinda looks like a Klingon ship, maybe it's re-enforcements? " The design of the ship is the same." - James T Kirk- Stardate 4523.3

b) They're also trigger happy space cowboys once blood has been spilt. Note: They also cheat at Pyramid.

8)Photon Torpedoes. Yup, they kick ass and apparently can be set to change thier destructive yields. Also the Feds use hard cased torps and the Klingons use HUGE energy photon cannon ports on their bows! Go figure. In an early version we had the Battlestar Pegasus blown up after 3 Klingon torps, but hey it's a big ship with a lot of Colonial metal so we re-edited and she dies with 12-15 hits.

9) Relax, have a fumarillo and chill as in the 90 minute version everyone has a Shakepearian ending. "Let slip the dogs of war." - Some Bald Klingon General Dude named PF Chang.

So as Stan Lee says: Excelsior! True Believer!

This video is probably about the 15th edited version of this question. A friend of mine and I edited the original called "The All Out Attack" back in high school/1983 using his betamax and my VHS deck. We'd have all night editing marathons on the week-ends. In 2002 I re-edited a 90 minute version called "Conquest of the Galaxy" using better VHS tapes for fun, and to see if it was possible using some many different elements, and "craft/edit" a co-hesive storyline, from programs that were never meant to be together. "A 90 minute version, are you insane?" LOL. Yes I am. But surprisingly, it works. This 9 minute version plays like a explosion trailer. But its fun, if you like to watch Birds or Prey fight Vipers! It is what is, but I hope you'll enjoy the diversionary sci-fi romp. Some have requested I post the 90 minute version, I'm not going to, as you really need to be a die-hard fan and it wouldn't be as fun all chopped up in 10 minute pieces.

"a 2nd version of the show Universal Studios is trying to forget about and so are we." Are you saying you disliked the re-imagined series?

[bobbydiablo]

@aradioactivedonut: the reference was to Galactica:1980 which was the 2nd version of the show. The 3rd version was 2003 BSG on Sci-fi. & from what I've heard from some fans of the show they weren't to thrilled about the last few seasons. As for Universal I'm sure they were very happy about the 3rd version as they profited from it and made the spinoff series Caprica.

If this has been brought up before, my apologies, but in your description, you said "The Viper pilots shoot the Galactica because a) they're in a war and a big white ship shows up, whom they don't know and kinda looks like a Klingon ship, maybe it's re-enforcements? "" - No matter how hopped up they are, why wouldn't they recognize the Galactica as their own home ship? Did you mean the Enterprise?

[bobbydiablo]

@yuriilev : Good catch I totally missed that typo.

"Target Engine Only"

*Blows up ship*

[TSR1989LW]

Borg VS Daleks anyone?

or how about...

Cylons VS Cybermen?

Science Fiction, the cross over options are endless (litterally ; )

[mdtwiztid]

@PCCphoenix unless the borg show up

[Darty105]

Besides, BSG and the tribal colonials would join the Federation. The Cylons would not ally with anyone, and the Klingons would keep raiding the BSG until driven off.

4:43 AAAAAAGHHHHHH

[dewfall56]

I think the scale involved is a bit overlooked. A battlestar is about 10 times the size of a constitution class starship and a bird of prey is even smaller. Vipers might as well be firing BBs as the ships from star trek carry high powered shielding.

[PCCphoenix]

This is crazy--the Colonial fighters and Galactica, the Klingons, the Cylons, and the Enterprise are all fighting each other! At the very least, you should have had the Galactica and the Enterprise join forces, and then the Klingons and the Cylons join forces.

[rizz917]

You're missing a full second. At 9:13 seconds, it goes right to 9:15 seconds, where's that missing second??? I want it!!!

[hydrolito]

@NANOFORGE Science in some ways is catching up Phaser could likely be an inphase laser or a laser of all or close to all the same frequency, a pulsar could possibly be a pulse laser which use microsec build up of energy to release nano second burst of energy repeated every microsecond althought a beam 1/1,000,000,000 of a second repeated every one 1/1,000,000 of a second couldn't really be shown visually so they showed much slower burst. Energy burst that far in the future likely faster yet.

[coindude54902]

you guys realize, its just a video, right? Quit arguing, shut the heck up, and just watch the damn thing. It's not a bad splice, better than all those morons who film video games. words from a man older than Star trek

[USSVoyager5]

The Klingons ship amar is a ktinga battlecruiser not a bird of prey
