Yeah, but one well-placed photon torpedo will knock out the Executor (Darth Vader's super-star destroyer).



It took a whole Death Star (moon-sized space station) to destroy a planet.



It takes ONE photon torpedo (less than a ounce of antimatter in the warhead) to tear away half a planet's atmosphere. (Obsession)



When the USS El Dorado's (Galaxy Class) new experimental space folding drive landed us in a galaxy far, far away...we found that their primitive lasers couldn't even penetrate our navigational shields, much less our combat shields.



When we got back to Earth, Admiral Uhura had a sh-fit. "Are you seriously trying to tell me that you allowed your chief engineer to trade a Starfleet shuttlecraft for this...this...speedbike??? A shuttlecraft...with it's COMPUTER CORE INTACT?!? Captain Sanchez, you and your crew are to hightail it BACK to those primitive people, and get that shuttle BACK...or turn in your command pips!!! Am I clear, Captain?"



"Yes ma'am. I'm sorry, ma'am. May I say, your uniform is quite lovely today? (That didn't help, did it?) Did I mention that Kirk should've left YOU in command instead of Sulu all the time? (Not helping my situation, am I?) Okay, Admiral...we'll try to duplicate the accident with the experimental lattice drive....I'm sure Dr. Harker and Lt. Commander Drake will do their utmost to get the shuttle back....oh, you want me to accompany them on the away mission, huh? Sigh...yes, Ma'am, I'm aware that Admiral Scott is even now impounding my personal shuttlecraft for spare parts....we're leaving now, Admiral Uhura....."



(Yes, this conversation really DID take place....Ricky, you DOPE!!!! How could you trade a shuttlecraft for a lousey speeder bike??? Ever hear of the Prime Directive!!!! )
