Well, I think that this one would be pretty one-sided.  Being that the 
Enterprise has warp drive and all the power it needs, and the Galactica can 
only attain lightspeed and constantly needs fuel, the Enterprise would win.

Yes, the Enterprise is only one ship, and the Galactica has all its Vipers, 
but there is no way the Galactica is going to win.  All the Enterprise has to 
do is toast the Galactica's landing bays, as did many a Cylon, and the
Galactica becomes almost helpless.  The Enterprise can then warp away, 
leaving the vipers to die when their fuel runs out.

I would think a better contest would emerge between the Enterprise and (dare
I say it?) the Death Star?  Let's hear more on this...

It would figure that the Galacticans would get into a fight with the
so-called thirteenth tribe when they found it (no flames about Gal. 1980,
please)
