Basically, pick any non-Trek sci-fi ship/ground unit and write out what you think its stats would be in STO. Example:

Ship: Imperial-class Star Destroyer (Star Wars)
Fore weapons: Dual Plasma Cannons, Plasma Torpedo, Plasma Cannon (x2)
Aft: Plasma Torpedo, Plasma Turret (x3)
Abilities: Boarding Party, Tractor Beam, Tactical Team, Cannon Scatter Volley, Emergency Power to Shields, Torpedo Spread, Launch TIE Fighters
Turn Rate: 3 degrees per second
Crew: 35,000
Hitpoints: 54,000

Your turn! Feel free to make it as OP as you want.
Save the Foundry!

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    I hate the idea of polluting the Star Trek universe with this stuff, but in fairness to the idea, the Millenium Falcon WAS in Star Trek: First Contact...

    R2D2 was also seen jettisoned alongside the USS Kelvin...

    And Vader was apparently buried next to Marty McFly in the same cemetary as Crusher's grandma...

    It's just a forum game. Nobody's suggesting that we actually throw these things into STO.

    Ship: S.S. Heart of Gold (Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy)
    Fore weapons: ?
    Aft: ?
    Abilities: Infinite Improbability Drive*
    Turn Rate: 20 degrees per second (According to the last scene of the 2005 movie)
    Crew: 1 (The ship is powered by "a new generation of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation robots and computers with Genuine People Personalities")
    Hitpoints: ?

    *According to the Guide, the Infinite Improbability Drive "passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe almost simultaneously," meaning the traveller is "never sure where they'll end up or even what species they'll be when they get there" and therefore it's important to dress accordingly.

    Unfortunately, the ship always escaped from any battles using its Drive, so I'll have a hard time guessing what kind of weapons it has or its hull.

    But imagine, with it we could finally enter the Dev's Secret Instance...

    Mon Calamari "MC-90" star cruiser

    Ship: New Republic advanced star cruiser, "Mon Remonda" pattern
    Fore weapons:

    Antiproton cannon x2
    Transphasic torpedo launcher x2

    Rear weapons
    Antiproton dual cannon
    Antiproton turret x2
    transphasic torpedo launcher x1

    Rationale - MC90 in the Star Wars novels appeared to have a hard time knocking out Victory II star destroyers but Wedge Antilles managed to score a critical hit on a VSD's reactor during a parthian shot maneuver with a aft turbolaser. Rear DC could be a sort of deterrent to enemies trying to outflank the ship and target the engines.

    To be fair this was a stellar performance as one lone MC90 was forced to hold its own against 3 VSD2s in that engagement. MC90 reminds me of the Emissary class SC of STO.

    Abilities

    Tactical: TT1, CSV1
    Engineering: EPTS1 ET2 EPTS3 Aux2struct2 ES1 (varies by ship due to non standard construction)
    Science: PH1 ST1 TSS2


    Turn rate

    5 dps

    Crew - no idea, a lot? Say, 15k

    Hitpoints - 70,000 (MC star cruisers were incredibly resilient but this is counteracted by reduced firepower compared to a Star Destroyer)
