Mav Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Federation, easily. Peacekeeper vessels do not have shields. They rely on armorment and movement as their means of defense. Very few races, including the Peacekeepers, have shield technology in the Farscape universe. As for their weapons, I think they could do damage, if they could get past Federation shield technology. a Galaxy class ship vs a Peacekeeper Warcruiser, Feds win. Actually, the Peacekeepers did have shields. In Season 1, ep. 7 the crew of Moya recover from the legendary PK ship Zalbinian a shield generator. True. But as I said, only a handful of cultures and races in the Farscape universe, have shield technology. And as you can see from the Zalbinian shield's, they aren't nesscarily the most stable and useful. Sure maybe another race has one more useful but we don't get usage from it and no PKer has them. The closest thing would be armorment. Dreadnaughts and such have thick armor. Still destroyable but far from shield technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yeah, we don't know how long the PK have been bashing around the galaxy in farscape, they could have developed space flight much earlier, which they must have, because earth only has Crighton's little IASA pod, whereas the PK have a fleet of large attack crusiers, some of which have had time to be abandon, ie: Zalbinium. Peacekeepers are evolved Humans. They originally were created over 10,000 years ago as actual "Peace" keepers and not the war mongers we know them as. The Eidelons were the original race whom could influence peace and logical thinking. They needed a military unit to help protect those they could not help, so they had to choose a race that all the others would accept. A race whom no one knew of and had no biast aganist. That race was Humans. They sped up our evolution, and we became Sebacians. While the PK'ers did have space travel much, much earlier than normal Humans, it still would have taken them what, better part of a century to reach Earth without use of a Wormhole.

MrDad Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 There should have been a third option. Negotiated peace. The Federation holds diplomacy and negotiation in high regard and the Peacekeepers wouldn't resort to war unless there was a credible threat.

rjfoster Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Where are you getting 0.25c for max impulse? I think that it's in the Star Trek Encyclopedia...I'll check, but I think I'm right Yep I'm right -checked the Encylopedia last night, Full Impulse=0.25c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yudd Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 a Peacekeeper ship , the Zelbinion type can hold between 50,000 to 100,000 + the fact that peacekeepers permanently reside on their ship, they dont go for shore leave or to starbases, so they have their receration and all other needs taken care off. Thus, they will fight to the last man to prevent their home being destroyed. Federation vessels dont operate on the same principle, also, the sebecean species are bred into Peacekeeeper service, thus, they would outnumber Starfleet since Starfleet is voluntary. Peacekeepers subjugate other species and would not sign a treaty with the federation. Its not about who would win or loose, just like they werent willing to surrender to Scarrans until Crichton said he would destroy the galaxy, which forced both of them so sign a peace treaty, even thoguh the Sebecieans were out numbered 10 to 1 and would have lost against the Scarrens and they knew it, they still would fight. Also looking at technology by 21st century to 24th century doesnt make sense, they are two different galaxies, and weapons technology was throughly being researched by the Peacekeepers since they whole show was about trying to get wormhole weapons. The Peacekeepers would probably win becaue of their size and the amount of support vessels they have, imagine a ship as big as 5 starbases being able to fly throguh spcae and being built for war and having 100's of support vessels and thousands of fighters at their disposal. In starfleet, ships dont have fighters which alone gives the Peacekeepers an advantage, its just like the advantage Defiant has against larger vessels, manuverablity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yudd Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 also, to point out how effective fighters are, remeber the Vadvar episode in voyager, voyager is being attacked by 900 years old fighters and only like 20 to 50 and they are being severly damaged and their impulse engine failing but for the help of the atmosphere which allowed them to take in some D.E.M particles that reintialize the impulse engines and blow out a bunch of conduits, its the same principle, multiple fighters can take out even the most largest and powerful starships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']The Peacekeepers were a mercenary force. They provided 'peacekeeping' services for those willing to pay, they were no army of conquest. They didn't intend to surrender to the Scarrans because the Scarrans would have destroyed them along with any other sentient species under their control. The Federation would not have planned on conquering or exterminating them, which would have removed any reason for a costly war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jounin Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Federation, hands down. If they could take on the dominion, which could make fully trained super soldiers and high quality attack vessels almost faster than they could be destroyed, they could definitely handle the peacekeepers.

USWhoFan Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 looking at technology by 21st century to 24th century doesnt make sense' date=' they are two different galaxies[/quote'] If it doesn't make sense to look at the time-line because it's two different galaxies... Then the whole topic, Federation VS. Peacekeepers, shouldn't make sense... Because it's two different galaxies. Right? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yudd Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 its says in the post whether its Peacekeeper vs Federation, that means they are going to fight, not sign peace treaties, so istand by my posts, because of the tactical advantage in size, and high impulse speeds, and support vessels and possibly 1000's of fighters in one Zelbinion type cruiser, they can take on multiple vessels, and the Dominion only lost becasuse they couldnt send reinforcements through the wormhole, otherwise, they would have defeated every single power in the alpha quadrant even if the THolians and the Breen joined the Federation and the Romulans and klingons, as long as they had Cardassia prime as staging ground and surrounding systems, they would be unstoppable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
