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.
Oh, the Eclipse. Yeah, the ship that the rebels stole and then blew up?
Federation captains deal with Q, some on a regular basis. Palpatine can somehow he came back against a being that is everything he wishes he was.
Yeah, they blew it up with plot armor bombs lmao
Now I want a cross over movie consisting just of Q making Palpatine miserable. Ending with Palpatine sighing in relief when Q finally gets bored just for Trelane to arrive.
