Hello DU here and this is my first official thread I've made at the FO forums. (so please be gentle  ) Basically I just wanted to know which battle in all of Star Trek is your favourite or facinates you the most. For me it have to Wolf 359. The Federation which had appeared to many as being the preeminent, dare I say invincible, power in the Trek universe got its *** handed to it by the Borg. 1 Borg cube tore a fleet of 40 Federation starships apart with only one ship surviving the "battle" (I prefer to call it the 'Masscare of Wolf 359), with no damage to the cube itself. Now I know there are a ton of battles to choose from, especially with the whole Dominion War thing, but it can be from any series, episode, or movie you want. |

You cannot deny Borg. They are the very best and yet the very worst that has been born of this galaxy, and because of these facts only one of two things shall happen: either they will conquer us or in the distant future we will become just like them.

I liked two battles especially:
Battle of the Bassen Rift:
Valdores are just gorgeous ships.
I got to finally see the Scimitar in action.
I also enjoyed the battles of Chintoka
Despite them being short and using footage reused later in the series.
Wolf 359 was cool too =].

I wish they could make a tv movie about Wolf 359. I mean in TNG we only got to see the wreckage of the Federation fleet afterwards, and in DS9's 'Emissary' we only saw the openning stage of the battle. A full movie based on the battle would be a dream, but given the fact that the franchise has shown the tendency to go back to the 'roots' of Star Trek it's an unlikely possibility.  |

I liked the Battle of Procyon V,even though you get to see very little of it.But out of all the battles to choose from I'd say the Battle for Chin'Toka was the best.That includes both on-screan battles and probably a third.I'd say that Starfleet would definately try and take it again because you can't just leave a large pocket of enemy forces alone so close to your most strategic base.

the klingon assault on DS9 was a nice little battle. but i'd have to go with Wolf359.
some of the TNG battles involving cardassians were cool too.

Indeed B5 was a cool series. You can get it now on DVD i think. On topic, one of the best battles for me had to be the late DS9 ones ("Sacrifice of angels" and "what you leave behined"). I know they reused some shots and the sizing got screwed up for the battle of Cardassia with the Dominion Dread's, but they still were some awesome scraps; a fitting end to the series really. Second places would go to Sector 001 at the start of First Contact, the fight with the Scimitar in Nemesis, and definetly the Borg V 8472 fights (though i find those a bit disturbing...*sniff*...all those Borg  ) |
