Yeah I'd have to agree virtually all ST ships are built primarly for exploration while all SW ships are built for war.
That's not a surprise, as most of the exploration was done long time ago...

The federation also has a disadvantage they really have no one man fighters and their ground forces would be wiped out  since the have little armored vehicles.

True but then there's space battles between the bigger ships.

i guess you can have the characters fight each other, with blasters and stun guns and the like, but them the question becomes how do you do that...

Making it a fair fight is the hard part though.

I'm bringing this topic back since I recently found a site that has essays on star trek in star wars battles and star wars in star trek battles  http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/Battles.html. It also compares the tactics of the two universes http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tactic...al-Tactics.html.

After watching Sfdebris's review ot the TNG episode Tapestry in which Q claims that he is God, I have to think that if Star Trek and Star Wars ever went to war the Q would not get involved.
