Year of Hell was originally going to be an _entire season's_ storyline, they had been planning it for ages (Kes traveling backwards in time from her elderly self encountered them and mentioned it to past Janeway, a few seasons earlier), but they had to cut it down to a double episode for some reason. Maybe do a video on it, and see if you can uncover any details on the original Xindi style epic.
The reason that idea was scrapped was partly budget restrictions but mostly because Paramount wanted Voyager to be different from Deep Space Nine and wanted every episode to be a new adventure. That way people could watch the episodes on any order and not be lost. Voyager had a lot of dropped ideas. Species 8472 were suppose to be the primary villain for the rest of the shows run, Seska and the Kazon storyline was suppose to last longer then it did, the Vaudwaar (probably misspelled that) were suppose to be another reoccurring villain, but never showed up again after Dragon's Teeth. That's just to name a few.
They were going to do it as the entire season, but then the writer's strike happened and they couldn't get enough scripts done, so they took the best parts and made a damn good two-parter at the very least.
@@nuclearsimian3281 what a shame. Just imagine what a year of hell season would have looked like. Still a hell of a two parter, one of my. Favourite trek episodes!
The thing that bothered me most with the way Year of Hell ended up was the fact that they had that Kes-reverse-life thing where she gets the temporal variance of the Krenim temporal torpedo, and gives that information to the crew, but then Seven ends up having to re-find the temporal variance herself... 'cuz Janeway apparently forgot. The fact that Janeway apparently forgot is made more frustrating by the fact that during the episode with Seven acting as a temporal agent, Janeway remembers THE EXACT CHRONITON FLUX of the temporal transporter several years later. So she should have been able to remember the temporal variance of the Krenim torpedo as Kes told her. I think there were a few other things that were hinted at in earlier episodes and altered in Year of Hell, but that was the thing that really got me.
To be fair The Force is more than just cool powers but a primordial force of nature that permeates everything. From a strictly holistic standpoint it really is bigger than any weapon since it will still be around long after everyone else is gone.
The fact that "When in doubt, ramming speed!" is time and again an employed tactic, is the best argument for Star Trek being a prequel for Warhammer 40k...

Great video! Relativity is the clear heavy weight: If you're playing a full scale war scenario, intelligence is key to victory. It can travel through time and even send away teams through time. It can fight it's targets 4th dimensionally and against foes who cannot engage in 4d combat, there is no contest. It has all the time it needs to peruse the entire history of it's target and find the exact worst points in time for it's target to have to repel an attack. Though in fairness, while it could probably destroy the Voth ship while it was being built, it probably wouldn't work on the Krenim ship unless it's time shields were down. Even then, being able to manipulate time to that fine of a degree makes victory against such an opponent improbable in the extreme. The Krenim ship cannot time travel, nor can it send others through time. It can only erase targets. It has to fight 3 dimensionally. The Voth ship can't manipulate time so it can be destroyed before it was built. In fact, once you get the ability to time travel, everyone else who doesn't have it is at your mercy. Also surprised the Enterprise J didn't end up on the list.
@@poxzen Is that a joke? The utter generic schlocky garbage being shit out these days with the Star Trek name slapped on has NOTHING to do with actual Star Trek. Bring it back to life my ass.
Voyager somehow, even before it's last episode upgrades, went toe to toe with Borg ships many times and survived. I know it was newer than any ship at Wolf 359 but there is no way the Borg should not have been able to destroy Voyager.
I don't think the enterprise J deserves an honorable mention. It didn't do anything on screen aside from a quick clip of it firing a phaser. The others you mentioned definitely do, so does the defiant.
@@Reepicheep-1 The original Husnock ship was real (it wiped out the colony on Rana IV) but the ones that played cat & mouse with the Enterprise were indeed illusions.
@@telephony Right. But we don't know the strength of that ship. It was an illusion, meaning that the strength it showed was the strength given to it by its maker. It could have been far weaker then the Enterprise D. Would a guy trying to chase them away give the Enterprise crew a realistic illusion? Think about it. In that time frame, space has been explored quite extensively. If a species was bent on conquest existed with tech more advanced then the Federation that close to them, they would have heard about them already. More then likely, they where quite weaker.
The Jem'Hadar Dreadnought it was massive. They only built a handful of them. A Defiant class could fly between the gaps in its hull between pylons it was so big.
One thing that has always bugged me about Star Trek is the varying degrees of Technology even among the same group. You're telling me a species that can make matter out of energy and warp travel can't create advanced power armor for security or boarding parties. And lets be honest while the Borg ships are cool the drones are pretty lame, if they couldn't adapt to tech they'd get wiped.
Yeah, Star Trek 90s TV tech (Borg drones) looks kinda lame today. Star Trek utilize robots far too less, they have e.g. nanobots but combat is still fought between individuals using handheld weapon.
I think it was IRL because of the budget, but also for a philosophical reason. In the begining, starfleet was supposed to represent a pacifist and united earth and the Enterprise is suppose to be an exploration vessel, ergo no power armor or advanced military equipment. It's the same for the Borgs. The drones are expendable and easy to replace. It would be a waste of ressources to upgrade the drones when they can simply use it to make more drones.
@@Raeinok there probably are tactical drones, after all there are tactical cubes. Real issue tho is, why have drones perform boarding actions at all? You've developed nanites, why haven't they been weaponized. Beaming them directly into enemy ships or onto planets to automatically and autonomously assimilate everything.
I thought I was going to see the Enterprise with the cloaking-device from the Pegasus on this list (Season 7 Episode 12.) I guess it never saw any action but it had some incredible abilities, it can cloak and ignore physical matter as well.
I just came up with the idea that the phase cloak was the direct descendant to the "Trans-phasic Torpedos" that Janeway brought back from the future. Its very similar to the phasing cloak, a way of going through both matter and energy (such as shields) in order to bypass defenses and take down an enemy ship. The next question would be did Janeway and the crew develop them on the way home or after they returned? I doubt the tech was listed on Voyager's computer records as its illegal. I've assumed that she and Star Fleet developed the weapons upon Voyagers arrival home (before she interfered with the time line): The Borg may have been following them close behind or even already attacked the Federation. Adding Voyager's data and experience fighting the Borg would have led to all those nice new weapons and armor and technology. My only issue is that when Admiral Janeway had that neuro link put in to connect her to her ship's computer, wouldn't that both have left a danger point for someone like the Borg to exploit as well as almost becoming more Borg-like herself in order to defeat her enemies?
What about the ship that the enterprise-d encountered known as Tin Man organic and the only way they could destroy itself with parking itself right off of star that was going to go Nova
Borg ships can also mend themselves. This was shown when combating with the Enterprise. Star Fleet developed Trans-Warp Drives which was featured briefly in Star Trek 3 with the Excelsior. Spock's tiny ship that held a huge ball of Red Matter would be the deadliest ship. Many Star Ships can separate their saucer section from the rest of the ship to effectively create "multi-vector attack mode".
I loved the doomsday ship from the Original Series. Once again thank you for using a clip of my favorite scene from Star Trek. I can't help but wonder what an entire season of "A Year of Hell" would be like. Star Trek:Voyager just made it look like the Federation gave up on the Temporal Prime Directive.
Hurray, more British Ben!!! The USS Relativity is probably the most OP since it's a proper Time Ship from the future. And the Aeon, a tiny little 1 person shuttle, was more than powerful enough to take down Voyager. Imagine what the USS Relativity can do.
Maybe THIS is what is gonna happen to the Federation. When Discovery goes to the future nothing is almost left. I think, in theory, Section 31 really fu@@ed things up....some type of a battle happened. We already saw how the androids attacked Mars during Picard's time of retirement, we could perhaps speculate that Section 31 could of been part of a setup years back. We saw how the group for centuries wanted the stop of many species......but then again species that hated the Federation so much they would destroy it themselves. No matter how powerful the Federation's ships are, will be, or were...the Section 31 will find a way to get onto those ships and try to stop many species out there.....then again many species will make their ships stronger too....if not, for sure a great deal of the universe will tear the Federation apart....like this damn virus on Earth!
A simple google search puts its length at 9,368.7 meters, which actually _is_ over ten times longer than the Burj Khalifa is tall. He probably just misspoke, and whoever edited this was asleep.
Crew was optional, plus it didn't do anything cool while anyone was aboard. It was empty when it defended itself from the Romulans, if I remember right.
The Voth also had a small science ship. Side note, Voyager still had that phase cloak device in their pile of Delta quadrant souvenirs. So as soon as the treaty of Algeron is null, Starfleet is gonna be an unrivaled power.
I agree with the top three, the two time ships and the voth city ship, and for the same reason: Being able to, in various different ways be completely out of phase from normal space-time makes them almost completely immune to almost all attacks.
Hmm. I think that NCC 1031, Discovery, would be a good candidate for this list. It can basically teleport wherever it wants, and I guess if you want to count all the wacky technology that Michael Burnham works with (like the time travel suit) it's a pretty badass ship.
I love this guy! Always nice to see him. BTW I think ships from Star Trek Online have gotten to the point of being straight OP. I feel the Herald Ships would fit this list if stuff from the game was to be included.
The Voth sadly can and would capture an Astarties battle cruiser with a legion aboard with next to no effort. Your forgetting these guys can beam your ship around at will, turn it off, and supposedly read your entire database at will. They turned off your energy weapons and knew they had no other effective weapons in voyages case. Let's look at a battle barge, so now you have guns, they also know this, they aren't idiots. And now you don't have guns, they are no longer in your ship and can be found orbiting a nearby star. You have swords, same thing happens. A sufficiently intelligent species with transporter tech has a god weapon. They can at will, remove anything you would use to defend yourself with with ease. Or they could just remove you from your weapons, and leave you floating in a zero G environment in your birthday suit. Don't mistake bad writing for tactical inability.
The DISCO refit definitely belongs on this list, with 32nd century weapon and shield tech and the ability to make micro jumps around any vessel in rapid succession making it both there and not there in combat. It would solo any of the other vessels on this list including the Krenim and Voth.
Others strategy - use advance weapons Earthlings - I want to look like a hero Therefore I will ram my ship and die Even if I have dozens of escape pods
In the two novels "Vendetta" and "Before Dishonor" the Doomsday Machine was shown to be a manned vessel. When the Constellation self destructed in its maw, the radiation from the explosion vaporized the organic pilot in its 'command crystal', shutting it down. In "Before Dishonor", Seven would board the Doomsday Machine and command it, reactivating it along with Spock and Geordi to combat a massive planet sized Borg Cube under control by an assimilated Admiral Janeway. Non-cannon but still cool.
4:15 "It caused the Narada to become 900 meters long, which is like ten times longer than the tallest building in the world is high." The Burj Khalifa at 829.8 meters tall: am I a joke to you?
You should've included V'ger from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture." As Spock and Kirk discovered, "It became a living thing," meaning it *does* meet the rules stipulated in this video. Nothing at *all* could harm or damage it. If Kirk and crew hadn't found out how to placate it, it would've easily devastated and sterilized Earth. It's energy cloud was 82 AUs in diameter (Wow!), and its "12 power" field rating was more powerful than what thousands of other ships could generate. It had in fact reached the utmost potential for development in this universe and dimension, so much so, that it felt an irrepressible yearning to evolve; and was *only* evolved further by literally transcending this entire realm of existence, into, as Captain Decker put it "Other dimensions. Higher levels of being." ... Pretty. Damn. Cool!
You missed out the bit where after being injected with nanoprobes, you're also still surgically grafted with cybernetics, have eyes pulled out and replaced etc, all sorts of gloriously gruesome things..and maybe whilst still conscious :D
Wait the Narada was only 900 meters long in the 2009 film? I could’ve sworn it was far bigger than that, as the Kelvin timeline Enterprise is like somewhere around 700 meters and the Narada still dwarfs it. It’s like several times bigger
In the movie the measurement was 30700 feet/9300m - a super massive ship. I think he just made a mistake. But he said the Narada was more than 10 times bigger than the actually biggest building, which is the Burj Khalifa with 830m.
Tinman could have a crew so it should've made this list. incredibly powerful to be able to throw two other vessels across large distances or destroy them.
Temporal ship would simply appear at the most vulnerable time and attack each of the other ships with no warning, making use of the tactics originally used to defeat these ships in the first place. Plus they simply time shift opposing crews back into an embryonic state.
I wouldn't be surprised if these "Humanity First" jokes get flagged for racism. Lore Reloaded's channel just got flagged for it for discussing the Ferengi.
@@cormacmacsuibhne2867 Yep. It could be even worse for the Borg if they ever encounter the Daleks from "Doctor Who" or even the mysterious and terrifying Shadows from "Babylon 5."
I'm surprised that there are so few comments on 8472. The Borg, in their arrogance, bit of waaaaay more than they could chew. That ship could wipe out all of the others. Just my opinion. Not right or wrong.
ENTERPRISE REFIT, ENTERPRISE E, VOYAGER, ENTERPRISE D, DEFIANT, NX01, USS TITAN in lower decks, PROMETHEUS, RHODE ISLAND, and STARGAZER at 10. That’s my top 10. My favorite class is actaully the Akira but it doesn’t have a name so it’s my honorable mention.
My Money would always be on the time ship Relativity. Reason: It can basically send a shuttle into the future, reporting back every move and maneuver the other ships would perform and then, after planning the best strategy engage with each other ship nearly simultaneously, or 1 second apart from a previous attack through precisely planned space time jumps between the space time location of the battle and another space time location to recharge shields and weapons. In addition it can space time transport saboteurs on board each opponents ship prior to each attack to come back with each opponents exact shield frequency and use that information to ensure opponents shields are ineffective during the space time jump attack...
GF, you forgot that the Borg Collective members on a ship also served as logistics and strategic assets, meaning assimilated members of a culture/race count as weapons against it. Locutus/Picard is a prime example.
He did indeed (though Eric did come back for the last episode!) However, in terms of the Ship, it opens up an interesting philosophical question. From a temporal 'destruction' point of view, if a species technically never existed in the first place, can you really describe it as being destroyed?
V-ger is the most powerful ship in star trek history. They made that ship so powerful that nothing can threaten it on a physical level. Since V-ger was a living machine and traveled the universe, it had nearly infinite knowledge. It was impossible to defeat unless you were a Douwd or Q

It can fight it's targets 4th dimensionally and against foes who cannot engage in 4d combat, there is no contest. It has all the time it needs to peruse the entire history of it's target and find the exact worst points in time for it's target to have to repel an attack. Though in fairness, while it could probably destroy the Voth ship while it was being built, it probably wouldn't work on the Krenim ship unless it's time shields were down. Even then, being able to manipulate time to that fine of a degree makes victory against such an opponent improbable in the extreme.
The Krenim ship cannot time travel, nor can it send others through time. It can only erase targets. It has to fight 3 dimensionally.
The Voth ship can't manipulate time so it can be destroyed before it was built. In fact, once you get the ability to time travel, everyone else who doesn't have it is at your mercy.
Also surprised the Enterprise J didn't end up on the list.
Good thing WH40K nerfed time travel.
The USS Discovery and the Kelvin timeline Enterprise …
They almost _killed a Franchise._
Almost ... hmm ... jury is still out on that one. But yeah, STD sucks - the abbreviation says it all.
@@Taiken83 The actual abbreviation is DIS but you do you.
Pretty sure Discovery and Picard are responsible for that fatality.
Almost killed a franchise? brought back to life is more like it. Not since the 90's has star trek had this many shows and been this popular.
@@poxzen Is that a joke? The utter generic schlocky garbage being shit out these days with the Star Trek name slapped on has NOTHING to do with actual Star Trek. Bring it back to life my ass.
You should have covered the USS Vengeance, from Star Trek Into Darkness. It was huge, had advanced weapons, and could be operated by a skeleton crew
Voyager somehow, even before it's last episode upgrades, went toe to toe with Borg ships many times and survived. I know it was newer than any ship at Wolf 359 but there is no way the Borg should not have been able to destroy Voyager.
Ablative plot armor
I love the concept of bioships and species 8472. Biotechnic is super cool.
A few honorable mentions: Enterprise J, AGT future Enterprise D, armored Voyager, Husnock Warship and Tin Man (Gomtuu)....
I don't think the enterprise J deserves an honorable mention. It didn't do anything on screen aside from a quick clip of it firing a phaser. The others you mentioned definitely do, so does the defiant.
The Husnock ship was arguably an illusion, and therefore crewless.
@@Reepicheep-1 The original Husnock ship was real (it wiped out the colony on Rana IV) but the ones that played cat & mouse with the Enterprise were indeed illusions.
@@telephony Right. But we don't know the strength of that ship. It was an illusion, meaning that the strength it showed was the strength given to it by its maker. It could have been far weaker then the Enterprise D. Would a guy trying to chase them away give the Enterprise crew a realistic illusion? Think about it. In that time frame, space has been explored quite extensively. If a species was bent on conquest existed with tech more advanced then the Federation that close to them, they would have heard about them already. More then likely, they where quite weaker.
The return of British Ben the sophisticated Ben it’s always a pleasure to see your face Ben
Love your star trek videos, British Ben!
Props for including the Krenim!
The Jem'Hadar Dreadnought it was massive. They only built a handful of them. A Defiant class could fly between the gaps in its hull between pylons it was so big.
4500m or 4.5 times bigger than a star destroyer and would utterly rape that and a executor class too
I personally loved the mirror verse Negh'Var. It was supposed to be several times the size of the regular one.
@@Bitchslapper316 like a gigachad version?
🖖😎👍Very nicely well done and very well informatively explained and executed in every way and detail indeed 👌.
The USS Vengeance was a very powerful ship for its time. Made mincemeat out of the Enterprise.
One thing that has always bugged me about Star Trek is the varying degrees of Technology even among the same group. You're telling me a species that can make matter out of energy and warp travel can't create advanced power armor for security or boarding parties. And lets be honest while the Borg ships are cool the drones are pretty lame, if they couldn't adapt to tech they'd get wiped.
I hear power armor and my bolter loads itself...
Yeah, Star Trek 90s TV tech (Borg drones) looks kinda lame today. Star Trek utilize robots far too less, they have e.g. nanobots but combat is still fought between individuals using handheld weapon.
I think it was IRL because of the budget, but also for a philosophical reason. In the begining, starfleet was supposed to represent a pacifist and united earth and the Enterprise is suppose to be an exploration vessel, ergo no power armor or advanced military equipment. It's the same for the Borgs. The drones are expendable and easy to replace. It would be a waste of ressources to upgrade the drones when they can simply use it to make more drones.
@@Torlik11 i still think theyd keep a few like speciality combat drones
@@Raeinok there probably are tactical drones, after all there are tactical cubes. Real issue tho is, why have drones perform boarding actions at all? You've developed nanites, why haven't they been weaponized. Beaming them directly into enemy ships or onto planets to automatically and autonomously assimilate everything.
i love this video , its basically top most powerful Voyager ships, nice
My 2 cent:
5. Borg Cube
4. BioShip Species 8472
3. Fesarius The Carbonite Maneuver
2. Tim Man TNG
1. Krenim Time Ship VOY
Great vid!
I thought I was going to see the Enterprise with the cloaking-device from the Pegasus on this list (Season 7 Episode 12.) I guess it never saw any action but it had some incredible abilities, it can cloak and ignore physical matter as well.
I just came up with the idea that the phase cloak was the direct descendant to the "Trans-phasic Torpedos" that Janeway brought back from the future. Its very similar to the phasing cloak, a way of going through both matter and energy (such as shields) in order to bypass defenses and take down an enemy ship. The next question would be did Janeway and the crew develop them on the way home or after they returned? I doubt the tech was listed on Voyager's computer records as its illegal. I've assumed that she and Star Fleet developed the weapons upon Voyagers arrival home (before she interfered with the time line): The Borg may have been following them close behind or even already attacked the Federation. Adding Voyager's data and experience fighting the Borg would have led to all those nice new weapons and armor and technology. My only issue is that when Admiral Janeway had that neuro link put in to connect her to her ship's computer, wouldn't that both have left a danger point for someone like the Borg to exploit as well as almost becoming more Borg-like herself in order to defeat her enemies?
What about the ship that the enterprise-d encountered known as Tin Man organic and the only way they could destroy itself with parking itself right off of star that was going to go Nova
Nah the enterprise incident
@@krisgonynor689 Janeway got the technology from the Srivani (the race encountered in the episode, "Scientific Method").
Please look at the SDF-1 from SDF Macross.
😉
Zentradi
I was kinda hoping for the Dreadnaught class (USS Vengeance). I love that ship. Oh well. All of these are awesome.
Borg ships can also mend themselves. This was shown when combating with the Enterprise. Star Fleet developed Trans-Warp Drives which was featured briefly in Star Trek 3 with the Excelsior. Spock's tiny ship that held a huge ball of Red Matter would be the deadliest ship. Many Star Ships can separate their saucer section from the rest of the ship to effectively create "multi-vector attack mode".
I loved the doomsday ship from the Original Series. Once again thank you for using a clip of my favorite scene from Star Trek. I can't help but wonder what an entire season of "A Year of Hell" would be like. Star Trek:Voyager just made it look like the Federation gave up on the Temporal Prime Directive.
Hurray, more British Ben!!!
The USS Relativity is probably the most OP since it's a proper Time Ship from the future.
And the Aeon, a tiny little 1 person shuttle, was more than powerful enough to take down Voyager.
Imagine what the USS Relativity can do.
I know this video was made before this ship was introduced, but I think the Shrike is one of the most beautiful and lethal ships ever conceived
The USS Vengeance. Also breaks Starfleet’s class naming scheme by not being named after a lead ship, unless there really is USS Dreadnought
6:12 Someone just blew their section 31 cover. Alien Lifes Matter.
Maybe THIS is what is gonna happen to the Federation. When Discovery goes to the future nothing is almost left. I think, in theory, Section 31 really fu@@ed things up....some type of a battle happened. We already saw how the androids attacked Mars during Picard's time of retirement, we could perhaps speculate that Section 31 could of been part of a setup years back. We saw how the group for centuries wanted the stop of many species......but then again species that hated the Federation so much they would destroy it themselves. No matter how powerful the Federation's ships are, will be, or were...the Section 31 will find a way to get onto those ships and try to stop many species out there.....then again many species will make their ships stronger too....if not, for sure a great deal of the universe will tear the Federation apart....like this damn virus on Earth!
OK, the General Chang joke had me laughing out loud.
4:23 900 meters long which is like ten times longer than the tallest building is high.... the burge khalifa is 800 meters tall lol
his math is very good
in the kurtzmen timeline 2 + 2 = 5, but math is racist
A simple google search puts its length at 9,368.7 meters, which actually _is_ over ten times longer than the Burj Khalifa is tall. He probably just misspoke, and whoever edited this was asleep.
7:48 Red decided to put his foot in the galaxy's ass.
You forgot about "TIN MAN" from Star Trek: The Next Generation. TIN MAN had a crew of one.
the previous crew was more than one if I recall correctl, but yes, very powerful ship / entity
Crew was optional, plus it didn't do anything cool while anyone was aboard. It was empty when it defended itself from the Romulans, if I remember right.
@@nodak81 No, actually Deanna's old friend Tam Elbrum, another Betaziod, were aboard. And Elbrum was in telepathic connection with it at that moment.
*Elbrum and Data were aboard.
The Voth also had a small science ship. Side note, Voyager still had that phase cloak device in their pile of Delta quadrant souvenirs. So as soon as the treaty of Algeron is null, Starfleet is gonna be an unrivaled power.
I agree with the top three, the two time ships and the voth city ship, and for the same reason: Being able to, in various different ways be completely out of phase from normal space-time makes them almost completely immune to almost all attacks.
The Emperor approves of your message at 6:12 to 6:15!
9:40 that’s Adam Scott (Ben wayatt from parks and rec) took me a sec lol
Hmm. I think that NCC 1031, Discovery, would be a good candidate for this list. It can basically teleport wherever it wants, and I guess if you want to count all the wacky technology that Michael Burnham works with (like the time travel suit) it's a pretty badass ship.
The most lethal ship is one commanded by a main character
Because...
PLOT ARMOUR
Very interested to watch, please add captions !
Hey, that was a swift addition, thanks !
I love this guy! Always nice to see him.
BTW I think ships from Star Trek Online have gotten to the point of being straight OP. I feel the Herald Ships would fit this list if stuff from the game was to be included.
USS defiant would be a good one to ad with its 6 rapid fire fasor disruptors and 6 ion torpedo tubes
Galaxy X dreadnought was a beast. 👍
Ah yes, it's twenty years later and I'm still being reminded of how Voyager butchered the Borg.
What they did with species 8472 was pretty bad as well. They created this cool, scary, powerful, alien race and then went and totally neutered them.
I love that you love Voyager!
11:35 This is why you can’t just have laser guns on your ship. If they were packing automatic rifles and shotguns, it’d be a different story
With the ranges imposed by starship corridors a modernised m1911 with hollow points wouldn't be out of place.
The Voth sadly can and would capture an Astarties battle cruiser with a legion aboard with next to no effort. Your forgetting these guys can beam your ship around at will, turn it off, and supposedly read your entire database at will. They turned off your energy weapons and knew they had no other effective weapons in voyages case. Let's look at a battle barge, so now you have guns, they also know this, they aren't idiots. And now you don't have guns, they are no longer in your ship and can be found orbiting a nearby star. You have swords, same thing happens. A sufficiently intelligent species with transporter tech has a god weapon. They can at will, remove anything you would use to defend yourself with with ease. Or they could just remove you from your weapons, and leave you floating in a zero G environment in your birthday suit. Don't mistake bad writing for tactical inability.
I can't argue with you on that 3 ship pick...but, I would also add the BIOSHIP. ESPECIALLY- since the BORG, couldn't resist...them.
Loved It!
Awesome Sauce British Ben!
The DISCO refit definitely belongs on this list, with 32nd century weapon and shield tech and the ability to make micro jumps around any vessel in rapid succession making it both there and not there in combat. It would solo any of the other vessels on this list including the Krenim and Voth.
Others strategy - use advance weapons
Earthlings - I want to look like a hero
Therefore I will ram my ship and die
Even if I have dozens of escape pods
The “Husnock” ship in TNG episode, THE SURVIVORS has to be the most deadly.
But there were no survivors... Of the entire race. Besides, we never see the husnock ship on screen
@@christopherharsch4352 The conjured ship that we see is I think meant to be a Husnock ship, and it would have been as powerful as it needed to be.
General Chang didn't send two people in Starfleet uniforms. Lt Valeris sent two Starfleet cadets to kill the Chancellor from the Enterprise.
Prometheus, Akira and Gagarin Class will always be my favourite battle orientated Starfleet vessels. 👌
In the two novels "Vendetta" and "Before Dishonor" the Doomsday Machine was shown to be a manned vessel. When the Constellation self destructed in its maw, the radiation from the explosion vaporized the organic pilot in its 'command crystal', shutting it down. In "Before Dishonor", Seven would board the Doomsday Machine and command it, reactivating it along with Spock and Geordi to combat a massive planet sized Borg Cube under control by an assimilated Admiral Janeway. Non-cannon but still cool.
If I'm being honest, the portrayal of Klingons in DIS is way better than any other series.
Federation: OMG THE BORG ARE SO STRONG
The U.S.S Relativety: Did you say anything?
4:15 "It caused the Narada to become 900 meters long, which is like ten times longer than the tallest building in the world is high."
The Burj Khalifa at 829.8 meters tall: am I a joke to you?
You should've included V'ger from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture." As Spock and Kirk discovered, "It became a living thing," meaning it *does* meet the rules stipulated in this video. Nothing at *all* could harm or damage it. If Kirk and crew hadn't found out how to placate it, it would've easily devastated and sterilized Earth. It's energy cloud was 82 AUs in diameter (Wow!), and its "12 power" field rating was more powerful than what thousands of other ships could generate. It had in fact reached the utmost potential for development in this universe and dimension, so much so, that it felt an irrepressible yearning to evolve; and was *only* evolved further by literally transcending this entire realm of existence, into, as Captain Decker put it "Other dimensions. Higher levels of being." ... Pretty. Damn. Cool!
You missed out the bit where after being injected with nanoprobes, you're also still surgically grafted with cybernetics, have eyes pulled out and replaced etc, all sorts of gloriously gruesome things..and maybe whilst still conscious :D
Wait the Narada was only 900 meters long in the 2009 film? I could’ve sworn it was far bigger than that, as the Kelvin timeline Enterprise is like somewhere around 700 meters and the Narada still dwarfs it. It’s like several times bigger
In the movie the measurement was 30700 feet/9300m - a super massive ship. I think he just made a mistake. But he said the Narada was more than 10 times bigger than the actually biggest building, which is the Burj Khalifa with 830m.
@@ChrisIsMeinName that's a literal monster.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a purely mechanical species like the Replicators of Star Gate or the Men Of Iron from WH40K in Star Trek.
Only one I can think about is the 'Pralor'. They were built by a species they later destroyed.
@@TheCJUN i musta missed them, I've many only watched a few seasons of DS9 and some of TNG
Wasn't Vger built by a purely mechanical race.
@@aneophyte1199 Thats the rumor.
@@Raeinok I recommend the episode, its from Voyager.
USS Prometheus is my top fave Star Trek ship.
Same
the most lethal ship is the one Kirk/Picard/Sisko/Janeway/Archer is commanding.
not really, the voth only spared voyager because one their species cut a deal with the council.
@@DavidKnowles0 the point stands. voyager still survived, because Janeway was commanding.
Why do we spend 95% of our time on your face rather than the ships? Which is the reason we tuned in, per the tittle.
Tinman could have a crew so it should've made this list. incredibly powerful to be able to throw two other vessels across large distances or destroy them.
Temporal ship would simply appear at the most vulnerable time and attack each of the other ships with no warning, making use of the tactics originally used to defeat these ships in the first place. Plus they simply time shift opposing crews back into an embryonic state.
The USS relativity was a department of temporal investigations vessel founded in the 25th Century it became the temporal version of the Enterprise
Awesome video
I wouldn't be surprised if these "Humanity First" jokes get flagged for racism. Lore Reloaded's channel just got flagged for it for discussing the Ferengi.
That's why we can't have nice things
Species 8472 are AWESOME the way they kicked the Borg's ASS!
That's the last time the Borg will ever quote futurama.
@@cormacmacsuibhne2867 Yep. It could be even worse for the Borg if they ever encounter the Daleks from "Doctor Who" or even the mysterious and terrifying Shadows from "Babylon 5."
I'm surprised that there are so few comments on 8472.
The Borg, in their arrogance, bit of waaaaay more than they could chew. That ship could wipe out all of the others. Just my opinion. Not right or wrong.
Star Trek 2009 was a JJ Abrams' practice run for destroying Star Wars.
The entire Macross & Gundam Universe needs to be covered.
So many Anime franchises with "Mecha" can be covered.
ESCAFLOWNE. Mechs and dragons, what more do you need.
ENTERPRISE REFIT, ENTERPRISE E, VOYAGER, ENTERPRISE D, DEFIANT, NX01, USS TITAN in lower decks, PROMETHEUS, RHODE ISLAND, and STARGAZER at 10. That’s my top 10. My favorite class is actaully the Akira but it doesn’t have a name so it’s my honorable mention.
If the Dominion Battleship don’t make this list PREPARE FOR RAMMING SPEED!!!
sweeeet
love it Ben
What about the USS Phoenix the one that Riker was on and I had to retrieve the phase clock from
My Money would always be on the time ship Relativity. Reason: It can basically send a shuttle into the future, reporting back every move and maneuver the other ships would perform and then, after planning the best strategy engage with each other ship nearly simultaneously, or 1 second apart from a previous attack through precisely planned space time jumps between the space time location of the battle and another space time location to recharge shields and weapons. In addition it can space time transport saboteurs on board each opponents ship prior to each attack to come back with each opponents exact shield frequency and use that information to ensure opponents shields are ineffective during the space time jump attack...
Hi thank you I love it very much.
Send someone back in time to prevent that the ship attacking you is ever build, sounds pretty much invincible to me.
Like for the "general chang"
How about the Defiant? Or the Husnock Warship (even though it was a recreation of the Dowd) of what about the Dreadnought Class (USS Vengeance)?
Also, in Space Enginners, ramming is a common tactic for Zero G starship combat. All of your guns exploded? No problem, your ship is now your weapon!
GF, you forgot that the Borg Collective members on a ship also served as logistics and strategic assets, meaning assimilated members of a culture/race count as weapons against it. Locutus/Picard is a prime example.
the commander of the Krenim Time Ship was Red Forman. He deleted Eric.
He did indeed (though Eric did come back for the last episode!) However, in terms of the Ship, it opens up an interesting philosophical question. From a temporal 'destruction' point of view, if a species technically never existed in the first place, can you really describe it as being destroyed?
Change borg cube to borg ultra sphere from Battle of the Wolf 359, and add alot of other ships you forgot about such as V'ger.
V-ger is the most powerful ship in star trek history. They made that ship so powerful that nothing can threaten it on a physical level. Since V-ger was a living machine and traveled the universe, it had nearly infinite knowledge. It was impossible to defeat unless you were a Douwd or Q
The Voth City Ship had 65 million years of technological advancement in it compared to the younger races of the Federation.
and the borg, just a 1,000 year old.
