Prefix codes also worked against the Phoenix, when Picard gave the code to Cardassians which allowed them to bring down USS Phoenix' shields. But that is all it did, and Maxwell still handily wiped the floor with the Cardassians.

Both Star Trek and 40k have cases where a fleet essentially stripped the planet of its crust; but to my knowledge, 40k tends to have more of them. And from what I remember, firepower per emplacement seems similar between high end Star Trek such as TDiC and higher end IoM warship showings...

I'd say Federation's quick-response force should be counted on the order of 10 to 40 ships. You have 40 ships scrambled to engage the Borg cube at Wolf 359, 23 ships in response to Klingon Civil War, six ships to relieve Deep Space Nine in Way of the Warrior, 18 ships with 9 more en route in...

What I mean by "tricky" is that you need to know the masses and orbits of objects in the system in order to calculate the points. And there is an issue is that if you know these points, the enemy will know them as well - so unless you know there are no static defences surrounding them, it is...

Ciaphas Cain novels typically have a warp jump limit being some two days of realspace travel from the nearest habitable world (that is, from the circumstellar habitable zone). Rogue Trader specifies that they have to be at the edge of the system, or they tear themselves apart. That being said...
