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.

    SW also has a long distance speed advantage too. They travel around the entire galaxy while the federation takes months to get from one side of the federation to the other.

      As far as I understand it though, their hyperspace is the same as ST’s subspace network used by the Borg. It’s very fast, but it only works on existing lanes. So while theoretically a SW ship is faster, it’s only if they’re using a known route. Which only exist in their galaxy.

      Unlike ST though, SW ships can’t map out hyperspace paths with sensors but have to do so manually via manned ship.
