Earth colony vs. Romulan and Klingons

[Lord Revan]

What would happen if Romulan/Klingon taskforce would attack Earth colony.

The taskforce forces would be
2 Early Romulan BOP (No cloaks)
2 Early Klingon BOP
1 D-6 Battlecruiser (ENT Battlecruiser)
5000 klingon warrior
5000 Reman Troopers

Colony defences would be
12 plasma cannons (same as ones on the shuttlepods) (turret mounted)
MACO Company
700 Starfleet Security personel
120 Colony militia (starfleet weapons, little training)
Earth Starbase (non orbital, no weapons some armor, anti-transport shield, concrete fence)
2 NX class starships (combat refit)
1 Daedalus class starships
(Reserve(not in same system,but near)): Vulcan and Andorian Warships (one of each) )

Who would win, what kind of battle it would be? (all ground troops would attack, but there would be no starship support.)

EDIT:added the cannon mounts, fence and transport shield to clear things up.

Colony seems a tid bit heavily outnumbered

That's the point. This comes from Fanfic idea of mine, I just never got to the writing part.

And those are ENT klingons not TOS.

NX class starships seem to be powerful ships in their era. With the help of the Dadeulus they might be able to destroy some of the invading ships before they land troops.

However once the starships are gone the colony would be defenseless against superior number of invading troops..

The whole idea is that all troops land. I would think that at least the klingons suffer heavy casualties because their fetish for melee weapons and you forgot the reserve forces.

If the colonists have access to flood lights, they should be able to stop the Remans. Set up some up around the colonial positions, so that when the Remans come through, turn on the flood lights fullbright. Since they've got great nightvision but really shitty dayvision, they aren't going to be seeing shit while they are lit up.

We don't know much about the Romulan Birds, but we do know a little about the Klingon ships:

--the D5's crew regarded NX's phase cannons as "low-yield particle beams," suggesting their own ship's disruptors are appreciably more powerful. Unless the Klingons' photorps are substantially inferior, the battlecruiser has greater firepower. She also has shields and, IIRC, reasonable armor plating by Klingon standards.

--As I recall, Duras' BoP and Enterprise were pretty evenly matched (?). Initially, photorps were quite effective against the Bird, but when Duras routed all his shield power to the fwd. quarter, his ship was sufficiently protected to take the upper-hand again.


If we assume the two KBoPs would occupy the NX-class ships and the D5 would go up against the Daedalus, I'd favor the Klingons slightly.

Factor in the Romulan ships (which I'll assume aren't pure junk for now), and I'm confident the Starfleet force would lose the space battle. The Andorians and Vulcans had better hurry to the scene.

Hmmn, if the reserves get called in, then the colony takes it. A single NX-refit can take on a D-6 and win (provided they get "photonic" torpedos). If the Klingons divert shield power to a certain facing, it leaves them vunerable in the others, and if they don't the NX's can pound through them.

And then you have a Vulcan Combat Cruiser and it's Andorian counterpart, both of which are described as superior warships to the NX. The Romulan vessels might give them trouble if their weaponry is comparable to the cloaked mines seen in Minefield. (Remember, most of the mine was various contrived triggering mechanisms, the total space for the warhead wasn't that big).

[Lord Revan]

The D-6 is the D-7 clone from ENT "Unexpected".
Photonic torps are part of the refit.

It's D-6 not D-5.
The D-6 is my name for the battlecruiser from ENT "Unexpected"

It's best not to just make up names without telling others first.

Ok. That works for me. As Spanky said, just be clear about such things in the future

D5 or D6--my conclusion's still the same. The Klingons on the D6 just laughed at the "puny ship" Enterprise, and with good reason: while I don't remember Reed's exact words, he said something to the effect that the battlecruiser could've very easily destroyed them.

That was before Enterprise had "photonic torpedoes," but if a 50m long BoP can stand toe-to-toe with the NX with photorps, I imagine the much larger D6 would still whup her ass.

I Thought that the term battlecruiser was enough, well I was wrong.

The D-6 is not completely my own invention, In starfleet command there is older klingon cruiser called D-6 class that shares same hull structure with the D-7.

Evidently The D5 was also called a "battlecruiser" several times.

Didn't know, sorry

Don't sweat it, man

The Feddies would probobly be too stupid to try this simple but effective trick. After all when the Remans boarded the Enterprise in Nemesis they did not crank up the lights to blind the Remans.

Yes but those were TNG feds not Earth starfleet.
