    Star Trek The Birth of a Federation Military

    I never said the Galaxy class wasn't a tank. The ship had amazing mass that could soak up some serious firepower. Enterprise soaked up repeated disruptor hits to her hull for several minutes from a bird of prey in Generations and only died because of a magnetic interlock rupturing. She survived...

    Star Trek The Birth of a Federation Military

    Except they don't. The Early Galaxy class ships were freakin pleasure yachts that had weapons tacked on after the fact. It isn't until 3 of the original 6 Galaxy class ships get pasted that we see Starfleet getting serious with the design. The ever labeled Venture refits. And to their credit...

    Star Trek The Birth of a Federation Military

    You might have an argument if we were arguing the US vs the Federation in terms of Hubris. But we are talking about ships, not State foreign policy.

    Star Trek The Birth of a Federation Military

    Its a flying luxury yacht and small town with weapons tacted on after the fact. The Galaxy class is a symbol of the pacifist Federation hubris if anything. It wasn't until they started getting their teeth kicked in that the Federation started to change. The Sovereign however is a very different...

    Star Trek The Birth of a Federation Military

    This is a What If scenario. Set in the early 2350s. The Cardassian border wars are raging and Colonies are being attacked and in some cases razed to the ground. We know from Canon that the Border wars wasn't a big deal to the Federation as the bulk of the Fleet was held back. There is much...
