Do you think that the Star Trek fictional universe would fall quickly, hold its own or be able to stop the Flood?

Lt. Dan I brought you some ice cream. Lt. Dan.. ice creaaam!

Well they were able to stop the Borg so I can't imagine the Flood being worse. At least the Flood can't adapt to your weapons. As long they know ahead of time what they are dealing with, there might be a chance.

"One single Flood spore can destroy a species". I don't think they can be stopped without starving them to death.

See, I don't know. For one, the Star Trek weapons vaporize the target completely. So, there is no chance of reanimation. Secondly, the scanners, both hand held and ship based, would prevent any ship from inadvertently carrying Flood forms.

I think they would see them as a threat, but I don't think the Federation would fall to them.

Do many people even know much about Star Trek, or are you all limited to what you saw in the JJ Abrams movie?

I don't think we pose a threat to anything.

I would say no. See, the spores, not the tiny flood, would pose a problem. Once something is airborne, it is incredibly hard to contain it. It could go either way, but I think the Flood would wreck them.

Tribbles are just Flood that you can pet.

I agree with all of this. Also, the UFP encompasses most of the Alpha Quadrant, so they could easily quarantine an infected planet or sector.

<(-_-)> Teh mokey is not amused

It depends how aggressive they are. Since they're the good guys I very much doubt they'd be able to stop it without prior warning.

Flood tactics: Get space worthy ships and slam them into highly populated planets. Its nigh on impossible to stop the flood once they're planet-side so unless they have some way to stop every single flood ship from escaping they would at least suffer very heavy losses.
