Which Sci-fi's would win in a battle?

[Cirith An'Gol]

Me and my brother have been discussing various sci-fi scenarios.
One of which was. If the Republic army came against the Federation from Star Trek and a battle broke out, who would win?

We also talked about Battlestar Galactica, StarGate SG1, Star Gate Atlantis, Halo's UNSC and Covenant, Star Trek's Borg, Battlestar Galactica's Cylons and FireFly's Galactic Alliance.

Oh and this is just a comparison between the armies, Jedi are not part of the equasion.

In my opinion the preceeding would happen.

Republic vs Star Trek's Federation: Federation wins.
Reasons[/i] Superior technology and firepower.

Republic vs Battlestar Galactica: Republic wins
Reasons[/i] Superior numbers, firepower, and technology.

Republic vs Cylons: Cylons win
Reasons[/i] though it would be a tough fight, I think the Cylons would eventually win due to superior numbers and their ressurection technology.

Republic vs Star Gate SG1: SG1 wins
Reasons[/i] superior technology

Republic vs Star Gate Atlantis: Atlantis wins
Reasons[/i] same

Republic vs Halo's UNSC: UNSC wins
Reasons[/i] basically it would come down to the Spartans, though I still think it would be a tough fight.

Republic vs Halo's Covenant: Covenant wins
Reasons[/i] superior numbers, technology and firepower.

Republic vs Firefly's Galactic Alliance: Republic
Reasons[/i] again a tough fight but, I think the republic would win eventually due to superior firepower, and technology.

Republic vs Star Trek's Borg: uncertain
Reasons[/i] the Borg have the ability to adapt to technology and firepower but, the Republic trains their soldiers in more than just ranged combat, and the Borg's are strong but, slow in unamred/melee combat. It would appear to be the Republic but, I'm not totally sure.

well, I agree with most of these, but I disagree on 4 points. SG1, save the intergalactic hyperdrive tech, is really rather pathetic. They're using outdated firearms which any decent republic field tech can rig a shield for, their armor is pointless against blaster tech, and they've got so few ships the battle would be wholly one-sided. I vote very strongly in the republic's favor.

Republic vs UNSC, similar. The spartans have the ability to adapt to virtually any situation, granted, but it's rather pointless when you can't land them on any shielded planet. If they can land, they're pretty much guaranteed a victory, but save minor border skirmishes before the republic's vastly superior naval tech destroys the USMC and their fleet, the spartans are not a problem in the slightest. Were it not for planetary shields and very good point-def systems, however, I would still argue the republic has the advantage. They've got greater numbers, better equipment (most of the human arsenal can, again, be defeated with mild adjustments to already commonly found shield generators) and generally make the covies look like the amateurs they are. only potential way for them to win would be firing off a halo.

Vs the covvies, similar deal. Covvies have decent tech (albeit, not remotely as refined as the republic) but have almost no battlefield tack. They win by sheer numbers and the fact they can slaughter billions with their battleships, not by their strategic skill. Against an opponent with greater numbers, greater skill, and better tactics, they'll die readily unless they manage to activate a halo.

And Republic vs Borg will go borg every time. The Borg torpedoes have a higher yield than the federation's antimatter warheads, which average in the 1 petaton range. Compared to the republic's venator cruiser, which has 8 main guns firing in the 60 gigaton range, coupled with the rate of fire and adaptability of the borg to foreign tech, the borg win hands-down with maybe three or four cubes and their exponential expansion rates among planetary populations.The republic has numbers, the borg have tech and quality.

EDIT:
Two very interesting fights, however, would be the republic vs. the forerunner (which I would strongly expect the republic to loose) and the republic against the romulans. The romulans have tech that is roughly consistent with the federation, but their temperament and in-fighting makes them far less cohesive. Their cloak would be used to devestating effect, but it would still be about an even fight.

Republic against klingons, however, wouldn't be a contest. The klingons would simply point a pair of Neg'var at the republic fleet and wait for the lovely fireworks of exploding republic warships.

Which era of the Republic? Clone Era or current IC Era. If its Clone Era I'd have to disagree due to:

Republic Vs Federation: Republic wins due to Clones in masses, and a Puppet Master controlling everyone and everything both droid and Clone as well as heavy Jedi Involvement

Agreed with the second

Republic would eventually win against cylons due to an eventual transformation to the empire and construction of the death star. Lets see them rebuild a planet

Republic vs SG-1: Republic due to clones again and entire galaxies under their control, and SG-1 has a few badass commanders, but they wont win against Jedi.

Republic vs Atlantis: Republic for the same reason

Republic Vs Halo: Republic reason, Screw Halo

Republic vs Firefly: Republic as it had better production values and Firefly annoys me

Republic Vs Convenant: Same reason, Screw Halo no one is THAT good in Halo its just the way they're portrayed as gods, which they're not.

Republic again: Reason, Consistency with the rest of the post

Good points Ashi, I hadn't considered those.

Eaon, Eaon, Eaon you simply have no taste . Firefly annoys you?! That's your reason? seriously? and why all the Halo hate? it's a good game with a descent plot, though I do admit it's been used alot, and the Spartan's aren't protrayed as gods. They're powerful yes but, they can be killed like everyone else. If anyone is a virtual "god" it's the Jedi and Sith factions. Which is another reason I left them out. No point to the discussion if they were left in.

Also, Jedi are not being used in this case because if they were Republic would win every time, as I stated in the first place in the very first post >.>

In any case I will try not to take your comments personally as I am an avid Halo and Firefly fan (as others on this site might be *hint hint*). As for era, which I hadn't thought about. Thanks btw. I'm gonna say Luke Skywalker's era just to be fair, since there really is no Republic in Kade Skywalker's era.

I'm not quite certain why you would be certain that the Federation would beat the Republic hands down, but be uncertain about the Borg. Wolf 359? Federation...heck, most Trek species in general, have had hard times taking on a single Cube.

As for the Cylons....I'm dubious about the tech...though I'll give you the resurrection portion. But really, do they have the superior numbers? The Republic spans many star systems and planets and has a fleet to match.

As much as I love Firefly...their tech isn't THAT great. Don't we remember the Fed blaster that Jayne got in Ariel? Kinda broke. Apparently happened a lot. Some of their ships were huge, but they were like cities...one for a star system. Numbers wise, I don't think they'd have an advantage. Besides...most of the battles seemed to occur in a planetary sense, not galactic. I don't think they have the ability to go ship to ship as much.
