First, Data is not built to be a warrior. He gets buy, but to a droid truly
built for combat, like Largo, yeah, he'd be at a disadvantage. But
remember, his true resource is his smarts. Sylia beat Largo because she was
a step ahead of the game. Largo had a lot of raw power, more powerful than
the Knight Sabers, but he _still_ lost.

Largo lost because he let his hate for the KS overwhelm him.

Exactly. His emotions fucked him up. Data doesn't have that problem, but
he's just as, in some ways more, intelligent.

And Data doesn't understand a great deal of the information he gathers either.  There's more
to being intelligent than having acess to a great deal of information. Knowing what it all 
means is equally important. Look at the U.S. involement in Vietnam for instance. On paper, 
we should've wiped the VC of the face of the earth. The reality was something totally 
different.

As for the Borg, they adapt. The first few times Largo destroys a Borg, the
Borg will be toast. But the Borg will adapt to his beam cannons,
arm-blades, superior strength, ect and just keep comin'.

And what makes you think Largo wouldn't adapt? All he basically would have
to do
interface with and take over the Borg's C&C network.

And face the wrath of entire Borg collective. Not only is the Borg
collective bigger than a boomer's mind, it's bigger than all the boomer
minds put together.

All Largo would have to do is start a Borg civil war by intoducing a "virus" (sound familar?) 
into the Borg collective would cause the Borg minds infected by it to serve Largo rather than 
the Borg collective. End of Largo's Borg problem.

As for the adaptability issue, the Borg adapt so fast that they can make
themselves immune to whole classes of attacks faster than Largo could
possibly come up with them. And this is a worldly civilization which
probably encountered similar situations with other cultures that had been
assimiliated. There's a good chance that many of Largo's weapons would be
useless immediately because the Borg were already pre-adapted to them.

Remember, Largo and sexaroids
like Sylvie have something your typical Borg doesn't have and wouldn't
know how to deal
with.  Free Will.

So did the creatures that the Borg assimilated. Didn't particularly help
them, did it?

None of them were self-aware androids who were as devious as Largo, where they?
 

Nope. Being able to build a transporter takes being able to manipulate
subatomic particles in precise ways. It's true that the BGC world has
nanotech, but that's just not sufficient to build a transporter. The BGC
world has not yet discovered the Heisenberg Compensator, which makes
transporting and reconstructing a pattern that much more difficult.

How do you know what's going on in the research labs in a company like GENOM?
It could simply be called something else....

Whatever the technology needed to make a transporter, that sort of
technology cannot be developed from basically scratch (which is where GENOM
will have to start) would take a lot of time and resources. BGC is, what,
less than thirty years in the future? It took the ST universe two
_centuries_ to come up with the transporter, and this was after their major
conflicts were behind them. The BGC universe can barely keep itself from
coming apart at the seams. To think that such an Earth would make such a
quantum leap in physics in a mere thirty years is ludicrous. The current
standard of BGC universe technology just doesn't cut it.


In terms of advanced tech (and incompatability thereof), I'm afraid that
the BGC universe and everything in it are _way_ out of their league.

The big flaw in all your arguments is that you're assuming everything concering other 
universes is going to play by and follow the rules and history govering the Star Trek 
universe. Big Mistake. But I could see how you could make it, since you're basically a Star 
Trek fan, not a SF (or if you prefer a sci-fi) fan.

We went from computers using vacum tube technology in the 40's & 50's to ones using IC's 
in the 60's &70's in less than 30 years, and that's with all the chaos, and conflicts going on 
the world during that time.  There's no reason to assume the same thing wouldn't hold true 
concering technology (or anything else) for any other alternate earth.
