    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    The Federation has the capability to automatically coordinate ships if they desire to. This was demonstrated by multi-vector attack mode of the USS Prometheus back in Voyager, at least. But this falls back to something that people constantly forget: Starfleet doesn't trust heavy automation...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Certainly, but that's not what people who cite "travelling through the warp" like to throw at Trek ships. Psychic corruption is certainly still a threat, but it is one that they are not completely unfamiliar with. People more commonly cite the issues with The Warp being how it breaks the laws...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    No, all it does is gives the Federation a chance to have time to adapt and see how things go, rather than immediately being fucked over. Star Trek Warp drive is still considerably slower than anything in 40k and despite Sailor.X's musing, we have no evidence for widespread deployment of quantum...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Per the OP Star Trek Warp drives are not going through the Warp, Star Trek subspace is still just subspace, though it is interfered with by powerful enough Warp effects. As such, Trek ships are not going through the warp at all unless they explicitly start experimenting with it. Secondly, it...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    No? See... Trek "Impulse" drives are actually not that impressive. They're literally just a form of fusion rocket tied to Fusion Reactors. The thing is that Trek cheats. Starships use a warp bubble around their ships to artificially reduce their mass even at sublight speeds. This allows...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    She's talking about the events of The Wounded in TNG, in this case the Captain she's talking about is Picard. It's not an entirely accurate picture of that episode, and takes the events of that episodes and paints with a very broad brush to imply that that's what standard Federation policy...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Discovery is taking place in that era... like I said, they're ripping off Andromeda.

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Yeah, not really a good one. Firstly we only have limited information on it, secondly, Discovery has shamelessly ripped off the premise of Andromeda, so the Federation is functionally a ghost of itself in that from what I've seen. Thirdly, the information we DO have and what they could pull...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    OK, so, it's kinda complicated? Was there a point of intervention by super powerful beings in the Federation's favor? Yes. However, in some respects that can be argued as those aliens balancing the scales since the only reason the war could even take place was because those same aliens had...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Data is highly unique in Star Trek, he's nearly (but not quite) a one off. Before Star Trek Picard, we knew of exactly FOUR Soong-type Androids: Data, Lore (the prototype for Data), B4 (the prototype for Lore), and Lal (Data's daughter, who died). The Federation is actually VERY careful with...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Not a new problem for the Federation... though on a larger scale (see TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and "Charlie X"... also in Trek few rare humans are psychically active just as a norm, see "Is there no Truth in Beauty"). Add in multiple inherently psychic races in the Federation as...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    [citation needed] There is little to no evidence that the Federation is communist. Firstly, there is clearly money the "Federation Credit", it's mentioned multiple times in TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. No, it's not generally used for day to day affairs as much of the economy of the Federation...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    Why do people think the Federation's government is ineffectual or collectivist? Based on all canon, the Federation is pretty much a bog standard presidential representative democratic republic, complete with a written Constitution (the Federation Charter), rules for expanding and adding new...

    What If? Star Trek Federation is transported into the 40k galaxy

    . . . Sorry, that's an old, OLD joke from at least WW2 if not older. My father told me that joke when I was a kid long before WH40k had been publishing things. Normally the two sides are an America and a Germany. But yeah... I'm surprised you'd never heard it before that reference.
