Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Star Wars overwhelmingly. They've mastered individual combat spacecraft, X-Wings, TIE Fighters, etc, given them shields and can transport away in hyperspace.

Not to mention their cruisers, destroyers, and frigates are powerhouses.

You don't know much about Halo do you?

In Halo they can travel through Slipstream Space- way better than Hyperspace. Also, in Halo they've given they're ships sheilds as well. That was known when the first novel was released, and if you have played Halo Reach you would definitely know that. Also X-Wings and Tie Fighters? You didn't say how these have been 'mastered', compared to Halo weapons.

You said they mastered combat aircraft as if Halo aircraft have not. I'm simply stating it would more than likely be an even fight.

Plus we have invisibility (at least on larger ships) going for us so that'll change a battle in a heartbeat. Not to mention the super shields on the Covenant, the plasma guided shots, and the Titanium AAA armour on the UNSC.

This is why I believe the Halo people would destroy the Star Wars guys.

Star Wars also has cloaking devices. Also, the Covenant shields aren't that strong since MAC rounds can penetrate them. Should be no issue for turbolasers.

The Death Star can take out a planet a Halo can take our a galaxy.

Id say Halo wins but its up in the air in some scenarios.

I believe the scenario is limited to space battle. Although, SW cloning is better than Halo's, so they could raise another army and have droids guarding and fighting Halo forces.

Yeah, but that isn't really a space battle.

*contemplates the thought of arguing this. Wow I am such a halo nerd, lol*

It takes multiple salvos from a MAC gun though, (three I believe?) unless it's an Orbital platform. Then one round will do it.

Also I wasn't aware of cloaking. Not saying you're lying, just that I haven't heard/seen it before.

And I will give you the benefit of saying that Covenant shields are vulnerable to heat. Lasers, in theory, sound easily overload the shields causing them to fail.

If anything though, if Halo people were to retreat (but we are gonna win so it doesn't matter), we crash some ships with the Flood into yours and infect everyone. LOL

It's not nearly as easy as you think to penetrate Covenant sheilds. Also when you do penetrate a Covenant ship's sheild, you only penetrate a small section of the ship. That part of the ship can just be let go from the rest of the ship. Also, I haven't heard of a ship in Star Wars being cloaked.

Slipspace jumps taking weeks, and usually involving cryo-sleep. Where in star wars we have hyperspace travels taking much less time.

An outer rim planet to a core planet took a day, maybe a few days. Such a travel is massively longer in Halo.

Star Wars spacecraft/starships have been around much longer (Like, thousands of years of more), that is a lot of improvement time. Halo spacecraft/starships haven't been around as long (UNSC side.)

That is a good point. Another good point is that it is a space battle not a race.

Cloaking devices are briefly mentioned in Empire Strikes Back, and cloaked ships appear in the novels. There are drawbacks to them though. IIRC, cloaking devices, while hiding the ship, didn't allow any sensors or communications to leave the ship. Inside, you'd be blind.

I think you should check the dates that each Covenant species joined the Covenant. Very long times ago, and the Sangheili and the Covenant were fighting each other is space before the Covenant even began. Also, you are forgetting the Forerunners and the Precursors.

I don't know about the UNSC, but The Covenant against the whole Star Wars? I'll go with the Covenant.

But if you use the Forerunners or Precursors against the StarWars... Halo wins for sure.

Sarge: Donut your going out of turn!
Donut: What i thought that was my turn?
Sarge: No no no we go in a line, it goes you then me, then Simmons then back down to me then you, then me then me, then Simmons then me Simmons, me Simmons you Simmons me me me Simmons you, me..... then me again... IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

the Covenant had similar technology to the Star Wars Universe, albeit in different shapes, sizes, capabilities, ect.

but hell Noble Six can fly the hell out of a Sabre.
