Transporter tech is the only thing the Feds have going for them. Replicator tech is way too small-scale, compared with titanic Imperial industrial capability; for fuck's sake, they can build small planets, in six months, in secret, and with no discernable strain on the galactic economy.Rickie wrote: Knowing the vast difference in firepower though its a lot harder to say the Federation and other ST powers would have a shot in hell. An outright war would be a joke. ST does however have more deadly small techs, for instance none of the SW movies show them having the same achievements in medical or transporter/replicator tech.
Regarding medical tech, the mere fact that vader has a metal spine shows that Imperial med-tech outstrips Federation technology.
