*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR WARSHIP ***

	The idea has been in fandom for many years now, and the scenerio which
	you ask for has thousands of snags. First off, how can a ship traveling
	at warp speeds be harmed by a sub-light carrier. (Battlestars). How 
	fighters (i.e. Vipers) hit such a ship. How could a battlestar gain a
	successful hit versus defector shields. Etc....

	Try this. Put both units on equal technological terms (The Enterprise
	on a lower technology scale), give them room, and watch out. In my
	opinion, (in the above scenerio), there would be two possible outcomes:
		1.) The Enterprise would win, but it would be one hurting ship.
		2.) Moot-point. They would negotiate a peace. (Wimps!)
