Can someone provide some details on the Scimitar? Preferably before this is closed.

Doing 40 seconds of research I came to this conclusion:
Worf (I think) said that it would take the entire payload of photon torpedoes on the Enterprise to destroy an asteroid (of unknown size to me). 250 photon torpedoes on board.
Imperial-class Destroyers were blasting asteroids apart like burst bubbles. In some comic I think it was, three ISSs emerged from hyperspace and slammed right in to the Executor. They were all vaporized.
...
Yeah.

Yeah, Executor wins. The Scimatar was definitely one of the most dangerous ships in Trekverse, but wouldn't be able to stand up against the firepower of the Executor.

I think you're thinking of when Riker said something similar in The Pegasus. The only reason they couldn't blast apart the asteroid that episode is because it would have negated the entire episode. It's like why doesn't Flash cold cock all his enemies the split second their image hits his eye

Well whatever the writer's reasons for giving that bit of information, it holds.

I'm going with Trek here. This is the Romulan win button, isn't it? The one where their missiles killed time or something? This word was the reason I gave up the thread in the Trek forum.
Yeah. The Executor is outranged, outgunned (?) and outmaneuvered.
That ship can do THAT? Well f*ck that then. A ship that can kill time beats everything.

Out ranged yes. But I think you're thinking of the Krenim timeship. The Scimitar is the one with the radiation weapon that can wipe out planets but it takes 7 minutes to deploy it.
I think the Executor has enough turbolasers to blast out in all directions to get a hit on the cloak/shields or the Scimitar in order to find it. Although all the Scimitar needs to do is keep moving while cloaked and while charging up the weapon then fire it while still cloaked.
Depends on whether the Executor can find/hit, track and then fire all it's weapons on the Scimitar to destroy it before it fires the Thaleron weapon.
Dude. A time-gun. I gotta start getting in to Star Trek.
But anyhoo. The problem for the Executor will be finding the Scimitar. I don't think they ever tell us exactly how Star Wars sensors operate. I've never heard of them tracking tachyons or "residual anti-protons" so there's no way of telling if they can or can't find them. If it does find them though, the Executor will win.

I remember asking about them, or reading about them, and they worked both ways. You couldn't see the ship but the ship couldn't see out. I don't know if that has has changed or if I just have bad information in my head.
