I side with Halo here. I agree with you the Star Trek vs Star Wars in that it is a never ending, but I have looked around a lot, and I think that the Halo vs Star Wars is going to heat up to the STvsSW level.

One major advantage that the Covenant have is Slipstreamspace drives, they are slower if you do not count the Forerunner Keyship. Unlike Star Wars Hyperspace, Slipspace is not through normal space, but another dimension, they can: jump through stars and planets with out any effect on the ship or real space object, make short tactical jumps, and jump in a gravity well. And then there's the Covenants ability to guide the plasma torpedos, will if a turbo-laser miss it just continued onward.

The Covenant could win in a hit and run war. As for Wookies vs Brutes, I think it would come to a draw in the area of strength.    

And of across the ultimate none-Flood weapon none-Halo Array weapon would be the SSD-size Forerunner Dreadnought/Keyship. It can power all of High Charity, which is about half the size of the DS2 if you go with the 900 kilometer diameter, with a small fraction of it's total power. They disabled all weapons they knew it had, but it could reativate them for battle in a short time I'm sure. And then there is the one word we can not forget: HALO. The Empire would not risk an invasion without knowing before hand where all seven Halo Rings are. The only safe place from a Halo pulse it in a Shield World like Onyx with the Slipspace rift that houses the Micro Dyson Sphere or the Ark.

And then the Flood overwhelmed the Forerunner after a 300 year war. The Forerunner were far stronger than anything else in the galaxy at their height. The Empire with the Sun Crusher could destroy stars, so could the Forerunner. Forerunner tech is in ever way better than what the Empire or any one else in SW has. As the portal to the Ark has proved, they could move over 2500000 light-years in a few seconds. Halo tech is far ahead in many areas.

And for Hyperspace vs Slipspace, I think that a Hyper Drive is like the ST Warp Drive only many millions of times faster.

Halo owns Star Wars. One word again: HALO.   

Let's see . . . This a bit of a toughy . . .

I'm going to pit a CCS-Class Battlecruiser(http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/CCS-class_Battlecruiser) against a ISD(http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer)

Both are Capital class ships. They are about the same size and have about the same number of fighters and have complements of boarding craft(but we'll take those out of the equation fo this fight). The CCS has plasma torpedoes, plasma turrets, and pulse lasers. The ISD has a large variety of turbo lasers and ion cannons.

1 on 1 with no fighters or rienforcements I would have to go with the CCS. If the cruiser kept moving, the ISD would not be able to track it at long distances. Covenant plasma can track, turbolasers cannot. Also, Covenant plasma is incredibly effective against shielding. I would assume two to three plasma torpedoes could knock out an ISD's shielding, and assuming a CCS has more than three plasma torpedo tubes, it would be lights out pretty fast for the ISD. The pin-point intra-system jump that the CCS can perform can give the CCS a major advantage in a sticky situation.

I wouldn't know what to say about a Marathon-Class Cruiser against an ISD, but I can say that the end result would be pretty gruesome.

On the ground though, I would have to say, without a doubt, that the Covenant(or the UNSC) would dominate. A Spartan or a Elite could devestate entire squads of Star Wars troops with ease. Covenant infantry plasma weapons are incredibly brutal on whoever is on the wrong end, shielding or not. A MA5B can spray 15 rounds of armor piecing bullets per second. Personally, I have little doubt that the Covenant or the UNSC would lose a even matchup against any faction of the Star Wars universe.

I suppose your right, I wasnt really looking at the tactical picture but the factions in a more strategic sense. hmmm never even thought about the planetside aspect of things, now ima do more digging.

Halo would win. (My icon is the bungie superintendent, so i may be a bit bias)

Even if you could argue they could beat the covenant. They cant beat the forerunner or the flood.

"I have destroyed fleets of thousands"-- Gravemind (and those were forerunner ships no less)

I'd love to see Forerunner vs. Empire I'd have my money on the Forerunners: any race that can wipe all sentient life from the galaxy or trigger a premature stellar collapse has my vote

The cool thing about the Flood vs. Empire is that the Flood play the Empire's numbers against them. That's how they overwhelmed the Forerunners: during the final battle before the rings were lit, the Flood just threw thousands(hardly exaggerating) of civilian ships at the Forerunner defenses until the Forerunners were overwhelmed or subjugated.

Flood vs. Empire: Flood wins every time(unless a Halo array is brought in)

hmm

i'll stick to my regular,  why compare  they're both great story's

superweapons...

Deathstar

vs

Halo  (y the giant ring that kills Flood food.. me etc)

becuase the halo kills all life in the (universe :/?) halo wins here... (poor lonely droids all alone)

+1 halo)

star destroyers r pretty powerfull ships, not to mention the Super star destroyer they'll probably rip through the covenant and humans faction combined anyways

now ofocurse if u start getting the flood in everything loses, u kil em  their (exploded) particles infect the ship game over...  still i think that just shooting the flood should suffice here...  just to keep things fair

so +1 for starwars

Elite vs Jedi?

Master Chief vs Yoda / anakin?

let's not go there.... obvious reasons

1 - 1   so far from my list...  both great story's  ... not worth calling 1 "better"

This is hard to say, but I would have to go with Halo, specificaly the Covenat. One, they occupied a large portion of the galaxy and would only be out numbered about 4 to one vs the Empire. Two, they could get help from the Alliance. Three, the Covenat would dominate the ground. Any elite could concievably kill five or six clone troopers provided it was a fair fight. The Empire  had many rebellious planets so they had to keep ships and soldiers there to keep control or they might rebel, so they could not bring their full military force to bear. And on the ground, the Covenat are a step ahead on everything the empire has. Scarab is better than the AA walker, and much more maneuverable. The empire doesn't really have anything to equal a wraith, unless you count the chicken walkers.Covenat hand weapons, such as the plasma rifle, is better than the Empire's rifle's The only thing the Empire has equal ground on is their fighters, and just barely. As mentioned up above, the Covenat ships have better weapons and can control where the plasma goes. They can travel faster, and I believe have better shielding. And the death star thing. Well, if the Covenat can't get close with them, they will send intransports from all their ships and attempt to board it. Intensene combat in the death star, but the Covenat would probalby win because the elites have personal shiled and not just body armor. The only advantage the empire has is that it probably outnumbers the elites, but they proved themselves when they fought the brutes when they were outnumbered three to one. And I am talking about the elites, which I believe would win after the Covenat civil war

Now on to the Empire's advantages. They outnumber them, and if they could keep the war going could start reverse engineering captured technology to even the odds. They could find allies with what is left of the brutes, which would happily enjoy the chance to kill more elites. If there were any prophets left alive and still in charge of large portions of the Covenat, they might get help from them. Thats it for the empire's advantages

Okay, so the Covenat win. By the way, if the flood come out and infest the empire, everybodies screwed. The only reason why anyone was able to defeat the flood in Halo 1,2, and three is that you caught early infestations, before the were able to fully gain their power. And you had the help of the Halos. If the flood got into the empire, the Empire would be able to do little to stop it, and once it gained enough power, they would kill every last one of the Covenat. I mean, the Forrunners couldn't do anything to stop it except kill themselves so that it wouldn't have any food.And I know this was mentioned above, but the gravemind has defeated fleets of thousands, and all those forrunner ships.

And forrunners vs Empire, they win because they are massively better then the Covenat, and the covenat are alot better than the empire.

I rest my case

Forgot to post this before.

HiddenMaster you make many great points. But I do not see why the Covenant would board the DS like this with around 7200 Tie fighters attacking. They would go through Slipspace into the center of the DS where the Empire have no defenses. I think that the core chamber of the DS/DS2 is big enough to hold a small Covenant fleet.

The Empire would never know what hit them.

And another joke, this for the Halo side. Dear Halo Universe Humanity, we regert being Star Wars Imperial wimps, we regert coming to Earth, and we most definitely regert that the Halo UNSC just blew up our ragged-A-- fleet. Ho-rah, sir! 

This has been a UNSC transmission.

I love that line from Halo 2. Nice changes. And one thing to help prove my theory about the elites attcking the Death Star. They may have encountered the Halos, but have never seen a death star. How would they know theres enough room inside the core chamber for a small fleet?  rest my case

Uh, you're weird.

What's falming?

I think that you don't know what a "fact" is. Both are works of fiction, which is the oposite of fact.

Because that one guy said GrandAdmiralSova is weird, I will throw knives at my dogs and run after little kids with hatchets

There's no need for that. The Elites have been infromed and will trace him if makes another post that takes up space.

Now we are off topic and geting into the flaming, so back on topic now please.
