Today we have a request, to put the Enterprise A against a Galor Class.
As we know Starfleet ships are more advanced than Cardassian, however I don't think a 100 year old Connie Refit will stand much of a chance
against a Galor.
This is Bridge Commander though, let's see what happens!
Played in Star Trek Bridge Commander Remastered.
Thanks for watching!

There are some misconceptions in the comments about the Galor I can clear up: 1) *There is no standard Galor. There are numerous variants of a common, rugged space-frame, that have been upgraded across 50 years and counting. So when one refers to a Galor Class they need to be specific.* The Galor frame is easy to mass produce and upgrade, therefore it is ideal for the Cardassians and their resource poor space. 2) Prior to the DW, there are three Galor variants, which are considerably different from one another in terms of power and date of build, they are the Galor Types I-III. 2) The Galor Type I dates from 2320 or so, and is not terribly powerful, they are a match for a Miranda only. 3) The Galor Type II was an improved version and was the most numerous model during the 2340s-early 2360s and the primary warship during the Cardassian Border Wars. Type IIs are around as powerful as the TNG era Excelsior, but maybe more rugged. Around 3-4 Type IIs could threaten a Galaxy Class. Considering that the vast majority of Starfleet in the 2350s consists of legacy ships, the Type II is actually quite competitive. 4) The Galor Type III was introduced in the early 2360s and is a dramatic improvement over the Type II. It became the standard Cardassian medium cruiser. It has very strong shields and moderately powerful weapons. Type IIIs are superior to the Excelsiors by a moderate margin but not quite as powerful as a Nebula Class. Two Type IIIs can threaten a Galaxy Class. It is believed a sub-variant of the Type III was further upgraded to a Heavy Cruiser variant. 5) During the Dominion War, the Dominion upgrades all the Galor Class ships. New build Galors, and they built 1000s, and the Galor III are considerably upgraded. New reactors, better warp core which in turn powers better shields and more power to weapons. Their firepower in particular is heavily upgraded and they are equipped with good torpedoes and *equipped with a Deflector Cannon serving as a Phaser Lance.* These are sometimes called a Galor Type IV, with Phaser Lances that can one-shot kill attack ships and destroyers, and that can cripple cruisers with a couple shots. They are the backbone of the Dominion cruiser squadrons and are quite dangerous. 6) Towards the end of the War, another even heavily armed and protected Galor was in development and just starting production, incorporating all the latest Dominion and Cardassian warp cores, shields and weapons. They had Dominion computers and transporters, Cardassian regenerative shielding (seen on the OWPs), heavy polaron beam cannons and torpedoes, along with standard improved Cardassian phasers, Cardassian quantum and plasma torpedoes, etc. They nearly matched the Keldon III but only 20 were made before the War ended.
If one were to use numbers to rate the relative strength of the Galor variants on a scale of 1000, with the Galaxy Class as 1000 (using a DITL scale), they would be:
Type I (2325): 200
Type II (2350): 330
Type III (2364): 470
Type IV (2373): 630
Type V (2375): ??? Est. 800+
Keldon I (2360): 550
Keldon II (Obsidian Variant from 2371 became standard): 730
Keldon III (2373, DW upgrade of the Keldon II): 880
For comparison, a TNG era Miranda is 200, Excelsior is like 300, a Nebula Class (with multipurpose module) 750, Ambassador Class 675, Kvort Class 450, Vorcha Class 900, Jem Hadar battlecruiser 970, Sovereign Class 2200. One sees why the Galor IIIs and IVs in large numbers posed such a serious threat.
In BC and BCR, neither do a good job with the Galors, there biggest error being there is only one "Galor Class." The difference between a Galor I and Galor III is like the difference between the Enterprise A and the Enterprise C.
@@johnghudjars3496 Yeah, it is something I have been quietly trying to address. The Keldon models, the Obsidian and DW models are pretty good, but the Galors are terrible.
As examples, our good friends at Trek Wars have broken down a number of sources and quantified them for Galors and others to compare the venerable Galor to other ships in their class-type of destroyers and light/medium cruisers. Note, they do not take Cardassian torpedoes into account due to a lack of data as they are not seen on screen, though the Cardassians obviously have them as mentioned in dialogue, so all attack values are beam weapons only, numbers might double if it is established the Cardies have moderate launchers. Also note, Trek Wars has rated Cardassian plasma torpedoes at the same power as Quantums, but the lack of data precludes their use, so I peg the torpedoes at a every conservative 50% of starfleet ships of the same class-type if one wants:
Galor Type I: Shield: 260,000, Hull 1.2 million. Defense of 1.45 million. Attack: 125,000.
Galor Type II: 780,000 Shields: 1.2 million. Hull: Defense: 2.0 million Attack: 315,000
Galor Type III: Shields:1.73 million, Hull 1.2 million, Defense: 2.96 million, Attack: 780,000.
Keldon Type I: Shields: 2.3 million, Hull 1.65 million , Defense 3.96 million, Attack: 900,000
Dominion Galor Type II Refit: Shields: 780,000 Hull: 1.2 million. Hull: Defense: 2.0 million. Attack: 475,000
Dominion Galor III Refit "Type IV": Shields:1.73 million, Hull 1.2 million, Defense: 2.96 million, Attack: 1.3 million.
Dominion Keldon Type II Refit: 2.3 million, Hull 1.65 million , Defense 3.96 million, Attack: 1.7 million.
Contrast:
Klingon K'Vort Class Cruiser (TNG era): Shield: 1.8 million, Hull 325,000. Defense of 2.3 million. Attack: 460,000.
Klingon Vorcha: Shield: 1.8 million, Hull: 860,000. Defense of 2.65 million. Attack: 1.62 million
Breen Frigate: Shield: 780,000, Hull 520,000. Defense of 1.3 million. Attack: 472,000.
TNG era Excelsior: Shield: 585,000, Hull 880,000. Defense of 1.4 million. Attack: 792,000.
DS9 era Nebula: Shield: 1.75 million, Hull 877,000. Defense of 2.6 million. Attack: 1.7 million.
Sovereign Class: Shield: 7.7 million, Hull 4.0 million. Defense of 11.7 million. Attack: 5.3 million.
Note: A review of the Operation Return battle in "Sacrifice of Angels" in 4K, that finally allows one to see what is happening in the background, reveals some interesting things regarding Galors: 1) A Steamrunner Class is one-shot killed by a Galor. 2) An Akira Class! is one-shotted by a Galor. 3) Two Hidekis take down a Miranda in four shots.
Captain: Aft torpedo's FIRE!
Weapon's Officer:...............
Captain: Don't tell me ... Not until Tuesday!
Weapon's Officer: Looks at the commander.....
Audience: lol
I was honestly worried, but glad Connie pulled through.
Spock's voice: They knew right where to hit us.
Yes, those spoonheads are way behind the Federation in technology... except for Terok Nor. But even that was upgraded when the Federation moved in.
I was thinking the same as you before the battle. The difference was about 70 years in technology, but still a Connie could take it out with the right strategy.
Bro, WHAT? I distinctly remember the last episode of Deep Space Nine when the angry Cardassian Fleet started wrecking Dominion and Breen ships with one shot while screaming FOR CARDASSIA and THAT'S FOR LACARNO CITY! Kirk is a pimp, but how bad are the Galors in this game?
Galors are basically cannon fodder in Bridge Commander. I believe most of the problem is that they just don't have the damage output to be competitive.
Fairly sure those were upgraded. I seem to recall the Cardassian ships benefiting greatly from Dominion tech so those would have been refits.
I seem to recall in the border war Starfleet didn't sent ships like the Nebula and only sent a lot of Excelsiors/miranda's and other older ships because they weren't enough of a threat to tarnish the image of the new startfleet ships.
Another planet has sneaked up on you? I'm starting to see a pattern here. Damar is not the one who should be weaned off kanar. 😉
😁🖖
The only issue I see with Remastered balance is that it is made to be fair according to ship categories gameplay-wise for the most part. That makes multiplayer combat and other kinds fairer... until you get to issues like a huge age gap, which makes situations where one should definetely stomp the other, but because both are considered cruisers and the other is considered a flagship it makes the results totally inaccurate. A Galor is somewhere between an Ambassador and a Galaxy in terms of shielding and combat prowess - perhaps a TMP-Era constitution which had received 24th century technology and retrofits, like a DS9-Era Miranda, could have such chances, but not the original Enterprise-A.
The Galors are not balanced well, and they don't even off them in their proper variants. A Galor Type I and a Galor Type III are vastly different.
A Galor III can destroy a Miranda with a single shot. There is absolutely no way the Enterprise A should be able to defeat even a Galor II. I notice the game has pretty weak Cardassian ships anyway.
Alternate reality: Damar crashes the Galor into the planet.... lol Ty for the video and LLAP!
The balancing of the Cardassian ships is ridiculous. In TNG, two Galor class ships are heavily implied as being able to take out a Galaxy class. The ships are never referred to as being weak or out of date, and only ever are destroyed or disabled when outnumbered and/or outmaneuvered.
Eh, in their early appearances they were unable to do much to the Enterprise even with the shields down, and the Enterprise was able to do significant damage to them easily.
@@keyboardt8276the issue there, those Galors are post-Dominion War, while that is the TMP Enterprise A. The Enterprise A in particular should not have had such good chances at winning.
@@keyboardt8276 Trager was an older Type II. They are destroyers. In a later episode Riker comments on the new Type IIIs and two are enough to give them pause.
The difference between a Galor I and Galor III is 45 years and like an Excelsior to a Nebula Class.
@@alexslgato1735 Trek Wars does a great job of breaking down the Galor variants. A Galor Type I has a shield rating of 260,000, Hull 1.2 million. Defense of 1.45 million Firepower 585,000. For comparison, and Excelsior has 1.5 million Defense, 880,000 offense. The Galor Type III has Shields of 1.73 million, Hull 1.2 million, Defense: 2.96 million, offense: 885,000. The Type III is vastly superior.
I was not expecting to see the Connie do that well; I though that the massive time gap would give the Galor the advantage, especially with the torpedoes.
The Cardassians always seemed like a paper bear. Looked scary, but the warriors shunned away the scientist/engineers. The locals stood no chance against what they had so it was "good enough" for the Cardassians. It was also why the Maquis stood a chance as they had Federation tech.
Depends on the Galor. There are many types. Some much stronger than others. These Galor models are something between a Type I and Type II but don't replicate the proper weapons make-up.
She was dressed in a polished suit of plot armor :) hate to see our girl fold to some reptilian space nazees
1:59 Those ships must be the ones where the bridge consoles are extra packed with explodium.
The Galor Class models available are not well balanced. There isn't a single one available at the moment that even differentiates between the wildly different variants. Any newer Galor Type III or the DW variant is a very tough ship. They were very lethal to any cruiser class or smaller during the War. The Galors were one-shoot killing modern ships during the War. A Connie II should have no chance. Even prior to the War the Galor Type III was a very good medium cruiser. Two Type IIIs were considered a very credible threat to the Enterprise D. I would be happy to advise on a new Galor model for a Dominion War or post-War Galor IV variant. Also, the Cardassians rely on a primary/secondary battery make-up. They have a few heavy cannons to quickly deal damage and secondaries. None of the BC Galor variants accurately portray this. Every Galor model is basically defanged of their heavy weapons.
As examples, our good friends at Trek Wars have broken down a number of sources and quantified them for Galors and others to compare the venerable Galor to other ships in their class-type of destroyers and light/medium cruisers. Note, they do not take Cardassian torpedoes into account due to a lack of data as they are not seen on screen, though the Cardassians obviously have them as mentioned in dialogue, so all attack values are beam weapons only, numbers might double if it is established the Cardies have moderate launchers.

Galor Type III: Shields:1.73 million, Hull 1.2 million, Defense: 2.96 million, Attack: 780,000.
Keldon Type I: Shields: 2.3 million, Hull 1.65 million , Defense 3.96 million, Attack: 900,000
Dominion Galor Type II Refit: Shields: 780,000 Hull: 1.2 million. Hull: Defense: 2.0 million. Attack: 475,000
Dominion Galor III Refit "Type IV": Shields:1.73 million, Hull 1.2 million, Defense: 2.96 million, Attack: 1.3 million.
Dominion Keldon Type II Refit: 2.3 million, Hull 1.65 million , Defense 3.96 million, Attack: 1.7 million.
Contrast:
Klingon K'Vort Class Cruiser (TNG era): Shield: 1.8 million, Hull 325,000. Defense of 2.3 million. Attack: 460,000.
Klingon Vorcha: Shield: 1.8 million, Hull: 860,000. Defense of 2.65 million. Attack: 1.62 million
Breen Frigate: Shield: 780,000, Hull 520,000. Defense of 1.3 million. Attack: 472,000.
TNG era Excelsior: Shield: 585,000, Hull 880,000. Defense of 1.4 million. Attack: 792,000.
DS9 era Nebula: Shield: 1.75 million, Hull 877,000. Defense of 2.6 million. Attack: 1.7 million.
Sovereign Class: Shield: 7.7 million, Hull 4.0 million. Defense of 11.7 million. Attack: 5.3 million.
So a Constitution 2 of the 2290's or early excelsior would be a close match to a Galor type 1. That seems about right. The Excelsior changed alot in its almost 100 year run and depending if it was a "refit" or not. The shields and weapons are very different from TMP era to TNG.
But I am the weirdo that thinks the Ambassador is beautiful and it takes a very close second to the Connie 2.
@@aaronatwood9298 Yeah, I think yes, an Excelsior would be a match for a Galor Type I, and a Connie II refit would have less of a chance, but it isn't the gap between a Connie II and the Galor Type II.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 Galor type 2 would struggle against an Ambassador or Photon equipped small project Galaxy ship.
@@aaronatwood9298 For sure. Ambassador is actually a heavier cruiser, maybe just a little less effective than the Nebula. A Galor Type II is more of destroyer. One Galor Type II would fall to an Ambassador. Two Type IIs would be a pretty even match. An Ambassador even slightly out-classes a Galor Type III but 2-on-1 is heavy odds for the Ambassador.
This shouldn't happen. A Galor III would bully a Next Gen refit of the Excelsior. They can destroy newer vessels than the TMP Connie Refit with a single shot.
💯

Not surprised really. One TNG era starship was an enormous threat to the Cardassian fleet and even took out Galors with her shields down. It wasn't until they joined the Dominion that their ships were a threat.
There are several variants of the Galor. From destroyers to cruisers. Also, the Nebula is not a standard starship, they are actually heavy cruisers. So yes, it is not surprising a heavy cruiser could easily destroy a destroyer.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 A Nebula Class is essentially a battlecruiser. It has all the same weapons as they Galaxy just a few fewer arrays. The Galor II in "The Wounded" were destroyers. Not at all surprising the Nebula would win.
Also captain maxwell had their transponder codes and was a sneaky sob.
I agree, a Constitution Refit (or Miranda, Constellation, etc.) from the 2360s would probably fair better than a newly built/refit from the 2290s
And the end of the run for the 1701A, the power difference between it and Excelsior wasn't that much. Mostly just shields and structural. Hell, how many torpedos did 1701A take while being assaulted with Shakespeare?
Good point
Pretty sure it took 3 Type 3 Galor Class Ships to roughly match a Galaxy Class. Cardassian Doctrine was that they relied on Numbers rather than on quality due to the lack of resources the Union had.
Could have been typical hubris, but in The Chase, the two Galor class warships were very confident they outmatched the Enterprise.
@@meiray The Enterprise thrashed CDS Trager in "The Wounded" so much so it was barely a fight. USS Pheonix blew another Galor to pieces later in said Episode, pretty sure it comes down to the Galaxy /Nebula class torpedo Launchers that can fire 10 torpedoes simultaneously from each tube
@@jyralnadreth4442 As you know it depends on the Galor. It is likely Trager and unnamed Warship were Galor Type IIs. Generally speaking the Cardassians keep their older ships on the border and newer ships as a central strike force. A Galor II is not match for a Galaxy as it is only a destroyer.
@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 Trager was a Type 3...infact it was the most advanced as it was given Dominion Sensors and Transporters. It also survived the war and these upgrades were very important during the Blue Gill Parasite Crisis on Bajor. The Galor Class was vulnerable to the Galaxy's torpedo volleys however the Galaxy would struggle if the Galors fought in CQC and used their agility to remain Port, Starboard, Dorsal and Ventral. Dividing the Galaxy's fire 3 ways just like how Prometheus was designed to do 😉 3 Galors would still be cheaper than a Galaxy to build lol
I really like these unconventional matches!! Great fight!
Thanks 🖖
There are hundreds of Klingon BoP vessels all configured to the standard of what ever house built them on behalf of the Klingon Defence Force and they seemed the equal to a Galor class during the early Klingon/Cardassian war. This was part of the reason Gul Dukat transfered his command onto a CAPTURED BoP because the current Galor class were too few in number and NOT up to the standard against the Klingon fleets (also the civilian governement was too weak to fight effectivly)
It was only once the Dominon began upgrading the Galor fleet that Cardassian vessels became a threat again.
Connie (refit) was the standard heavy cruiser for late 23rd Century Starfleet and was replaced by the Excellcisor class as the main heavy cruiser of the early to mid 24th Century.
The problem is that Starfleet is primarily a defense and exploration force (As defined by Roddenberry) they might have ships that fight but they werent dedicated warships unlike the Cardassians and the Klingons. However when they build something that can fight, it often kicks heavier ass than enemies expect. There was at least one Connie fighting at Wolf 359.
I would love to see a feely battle between every scfi ships all TV series and films and animated good Vs bad from the smallest ship to the biggest don't know if a computer is able to it be a big and long battle
You showed those spoon heads!!!!!
About what I expected when you captained the Galor. Good fight.
That was totally AMAZING the Connie refit did really well
Great battles. I think it was the Jim Kirk factor that made the difference.
😲Jeepers Admiral.. In a way, I knew the Ent A would do it.. and her crew.. like Picard says '' Never forget the name Enterprise'' lol.. oh gosh.. I still have that image at the start of the Valour, but with Dukat 's face .. eeeeeeeeh...!!😨oh my.. ok.. crashed into a planet. well never know with Cardassians.. love the battle Admiral.. would be a great what if.. hmm Cheers!😊🖖
I think the Connie Refit Refit would have been a better matchup. Thanks for the video!
Has doubts about the balance of these, but the Connie refit is so great I can't complain too much.
So, again, I'd love to see a battle of Galaxy Class X from Hell vs Berlin Class (essentially two Galaxy classes Frankensteined together). Definitely would be a battle of Titans.
I really enjoyed this one.
Thanks 🖖
Lets try the Enterprise - B next.
I think that would be a close fight even though maybe Cardassians had achieved warp drive technology long before, which was hinted at
The SFRD versions are very powerful, heres an idea, Excelsior II vs the SFRD Hood, Excelsior and Repulse.
I’m still hoping for a TOS era Miranda and Connie
It's not just the ship, it's the captain and crew. I think the outcome first round would have been accurate with someone like Kirk or Sisko in the chair, vs your run of the mill Gull. Although I'm sure Connie would need to be tugged home. A win is a win tho!
I'm shocked the E-A pulled that off. So that means, if Kirk was alive during the Cardassian conflict, the war would've ended earlier. Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I did mention all tng era ships blew up with the bridge
It wasn’t really a surprise that a Connie-2 would fight a Galor (as another commenter said: there are variants) though beating even a block-1 Galor is impressive since they were supposed to match closer to Excelsior than Miranda.
I'm surprised the Enterprise-A defeated the Galor. That was an interesting match for sure.
I think Cardassian military doctrine requires multiple vessels for most engagements, which would partly make up for their relative weakness in combat. Still, I wouldn't class them as technologically backward.
They are resource starved before the Dominion. They can develop tech as advanced as the others, but couldn't mass produce them.
The enterprise NCC 1701 a does have a aft torpedo launcher which was never used in the movie
Would be a kin to a ww1 era destroyer vs an early 70s guided missile destroyer... (the ww1 ship can still do damage if it gets a hit on the more modern ship)
It’s only called a phaser array if it has the strips, the Enterprise, Enterprise A, and the Enterprise B had phaser banks, not arrays
Partly right. TOS had banks, TMP had emitters, TNG and pre-TNG had arrays. Each look different, on the hull and the beam in use. Plus the sound effect differences. Pre TOS / during Pike the Enterprise had laser cannon. The blue firing banks of TOS were the first Federation phasers. Ditl breaks it down well.
@@stever3832emitters are mounted on phaser banks
can you do a 23 century k'Tinga battle cruiser vs the Enterprise -A, want to see the Ent-A. wreck particularly those refit klingon battle cruisers.
Like Kronos 1?
3:52 Gul Dukat is too drunk on kanar to care. 🥃
Where do you think he get his kanar from 😉
Three Bird of Preys vs NCC 1701-D
So, we need Miranda vs Galor!
Ah…..Galor class!!!
Are the ships from War of the Worlds on the game library
I haven't seen any 🖖
If the Enterprise can handle Vger it can handle anything (:
If you target the bridge you release all the console rocks
TMP fleet vs Cardassian fleet
Enterprise A has Level 3 Plot Armor!
Way to go Kirk.
After seeing this, you've got to wonder why the federation didn't end the Kardasians with in a week of the federation Kardasian war lmao.
These models are not well balanced. They don't even offer variants.
That´s why the Cardassians allways came with 3 Ships.....
Cardassians are consistent, screwed throughout the ages.
clearly the Galor needs a buff in this game. on average a Galor will match a TNG era Excelsior so a TMP era Connie should lose
Very surprising and it's also subject to the controller no? Give yourself CREDIT SIR! KAPLA!
Constitution class refit in reality wouldn't be so easy to kill. I stil think it would do better than it has here and against vthr protecter
I always thought the excelsior was on par with galor.
Excelsior is about on par with an early Galor Type II. The Type III is moderately superior to the Excelsiors of the TNG era.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 makes sense, where did you get that tidbit out of curiosity? I based my judgement off the TNG episode “The Wounded”. Nebula totally throws the galors around. But in DS9 it seems like they can give the Defiant a fight, just like the upgraded Excelsior from “Paradise Lost”.
@@Ol-T1864 I can't speak for him, but there are several really good videos about the Cardassian Fleet that break down their stats. Venom Geek also does some work, and they all point to extremely varying strengths between the Galor sub-types. A Galor III is essentially 4-5x more powerful than the Galor I. And that was before the Dominion got their hands on them.
@@Ol-T1864 There are a ton of reference sources, and also from TNG and DS9 episodes. In "The Wounded" the Galors are weak, but it has been written that the Trager was a Galor Type II which is a destroyer. The Galaxy Class is a battleship, it is going to dominate cruisers and destroyers. The Nebula Class is a heavy cruiser... so it doesn't actually say as much as one would think. Differences between ship types are important to note. However, in the TNG episode "Ensign Ro," Riker comments on being faced by two Galors, "Galor Class. Type III. Top of the Line." and it is inferred that the odds are a lot more even. Through DS9, it appears the Galors are upgraded from the TNG models, and the Dominion War sees the Galors as vastly more powerful than the TNG era. This is best explained in books, tech manuals and lore. But also videos like this: ruclips.net/video/vk3kCaLmiwI/видео.html
@@Ol-T1864 But consider that the vast majority of Starfleet in TNG were made up of older ships like the Excelsior and Miranda and the Galor II to them is a threat. So if a Galor II is a threat to 90% of Starfleet, it is a reasonably useful and powerful ship, especially since the Cardassians have so many Galors. Add to that the Galor Type IIIs coming out in numbers by 2366 and the Cardassians are not a pushover at all. Sure, the few Galaxys and modest numbers of Nebulas will be crushing Galor IIs left and right, but the other Galor IIs and IIIs will be busily destroying the older ships. One begins to see why the Border Wars ended in stalemate.
Another clash in the cardassisn border war.
I mean, the Galor's best feats are shaking the Enterprise D with weapons fire while its shield were down, but doing no damage, and scaring season 1 DS9 a little. Not much to write home about. So this makes sense really.
And one-shot killing BoPs, Bug Ships, Breen Frigates. There are different variants of Galor and they are very different from one another.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 BoPs, bug ships, and Breen frigates are all weak ships defensively. Bug ships in particular are known to have glaring weaknesses that could be exploited by a former ally who knows about them. So the point is moot.
@@AJUniverse No, it isn't moot, the reason being there is plenty of comparative analysis available thanks to the widespread use of the Bug Ship in a number of battles. What is moot is your inference that the only reason the Bug Ship was easily destroyed is because of Cardassian knowledge of Dominion ships. This theory would make more sense if the Bug Ships were the only ones we see being destroyed by the Cardassians in one-shot. But they aren't, allied and enemy ships alike share them fate. I didn't add all the ships destroyed by the Cardassians in the same manner, but they also include Steamrunner and Akira Class ships being toasted in one shot by Galors in "Sacrifice of Angels." Why does it matter, because it establishes the power of the DW era Cardassian heavy beam cannons. We see plenty of Bug Ships and Breen ships hit by Type X Phasers from heavier Starships that don't destroy them with one-shot. That suggests that the power of the Galor's forward heavy cannon is on-par with the only other system we seeing one-shotting BoPs and Bug Ships: DS9's Type XI Heavy Phaser Emplacements as featured in "Way of the Warrior" and "Call to Arms."
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 Not that I don't believe you considering you are frequent poster, but I don't recall instances of larger Starships falling prey to Cardassian vessels in such an abrupt manner. Would you be so kind as to provide citations?
@@chadwickst.clair-smythe4217 Of course. The battle in question in 4K below on RUclips. But, on that video: 1) Steamrunner one-shot by Galor at 0:04., 2) Akira one-shotted by Galor at 0:37. Bonus: Two Hidekis destroy a Miranda in four shots of their after cannons: 0:30. Clearly, Galor's one-shotting ships, from attack ships to heavy cruisers, is not just a fluke. There is a consistency in the power of that forward SWD Lance that puts it in the same league as the heaviest beam weapons in Star Trek.

The Galor would swat the Excelsior class with ease never mind the Enterprise A 😂😂😂
So unrealistic. The Galor class should be far more powerful
First.
