Star Trek: 10 Most Powerful Ships 

Two major omissions: the Sovereign class Enterprise E and the Reman warbird Scimitar.

I believe you missed Species 8472 Bioships…?

This felt more like a most powerful ships in DS9

"Here is a list of ten ships that'll drive the comments section mad."

What about Species 8472 bio ships? Not only did they cut thru Borg cubes like paper, they were able to destroy a planet by combining the energy of only eight ships.

I know this list is subjective, but GD is it wildly off. Galaxy _over_ Sovereign?! 😮

Prometheus class anyone? maybe Sovereign class? no? ok...

A lot was missed. Sovern class ships, the bioships of Species 8472c the Scimitar, and who could forget the Prometheus. The experimental starship that split up into 3 pieces and defended itself during an attack?

Soo many missing off this list. Klingon Negh'var class dreadnaught Romulan/Reman Scimtar class Warbird USS Prometheus USS Enterprise-F (Odyssey class) USS Vengeance (Kelvin universe) ISS Charon The Shrike Gomtuu Species 8472 Bioship Species 6339 Warship Voth city ship Krenim Imperium Weapon Ship Devore Warship Husnock Warship V'Ger Fesarius of the First Federation Some of these were one-offs, which I guess you might not count, but a few of them had enough screen time to see their relative power!

This list is surely rage bait no? Surely 😅 Where is the Scimitar? Voth city ship? V-Ger!?

No Species 8472 bioship? You know that thing that can tear through a Borg cube like it's nothing.

Hey now, we all know the USS Plot Armor....I mean Voyager....is the most "powerful".

The Akira class will always be my favorite ship no matter what. I've also always loved the Jemmy ships and the Defiant. This is why one of my favorite ships in STO right now, is a ship that is a hybrid of both the Jem'hadar Fighter and the Defiant. Also always loved the Enterprise-D "Dreadnaught" from All Good Things and its Phase Cannon.

I missed the part about the Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship. Could anybody point me to its timestamp?

Consistently counts off weapon systems on these ships, but the one with 52 disrupters and 27 torpedo launchers is nowhere to be found

Lot of omissions: Species 8472 bioships, the dinosaurs from Earth, the android ships from Voy ep Prototype, The Dooomsday Machines, Sovereign class, Krellan Timeships, the Aquatic Xindi ships, the Scimitar (though that was a one off)

The most powerful ship , a Borg Cube. Species 8472:- Hold my Beer....

5:00 "Little?!" - the way Worf said that line was, awesome.

Special mention to the Enterprise-D from "All Good Things". Tore through a Klingon ship like it was tissue paper.

Prometheus class, Sovereign class, Akira class,Steamrunner class,Species 8472 Bioship, Krenim warship and many more that I can’t be bothered to name. I’m not to sure about the accuracy of this list….but it was enjoyable 😊

William Riker: Tough little ship.

Ok Trek culture, I keep thinking u guys are gonna at least consult with a bro before u make these lists. Yep everyone included bishops but the no First Federation Ship? No tin man? No temporal ships? No dinosaur ships? Smh 😂

Scimitar vs Shrike.... I'd love to see that.

I have seen multiple people mention V-Ger, in and of itself V-Ger was not a starship, it was a satelite that crashed / entered an alien civilization's sphere of influence who then determined what V-Ger's programming was, they themselves built an entire construct around V-Ger and then sent it back on it's way to earth to deliver all that it had learned during it's journey back to it's creator, so in reality V-Ger had no propulsion and or weapons itself, it was the construct that moved V-Ger and protected it. At least that is my interpretation of what happened.

Yes! Definitely do a video on the 32nd century ships!

No sovereign class, no Akira class, no species 8472 bioship.

8472 bio ships for sure, Voth city ship, Krenim temporal ship, Xindi sphere weapon ship, Enterprise J, USS Prometheus and Relativity

Dreadnought class, USS Vengeance. One beast of a ship. But how about the Enterprise J, seen in Star Trek Enterprise? That ship was even taller (in length) than a Borg Cube.... 🙂

The Cardassian Galor Class was an outdated ship before the Dominion War started. In the TNG episode "The Wounded", the Enterprise disables a Galor's shields with a handful of phaser hits, but what clinches it is that Picard is frankly more curious why they attacked than worried, and he tells Worf to limit his fire to disable them. Once the Enterprise's shields are raised, Picard knows the threat is largely over.

Nice to see the D but I prefer the weapons systems on the Enterprise-E. Ok. I just prefer the Enterprise-E! 😀🖖

Krenim Imperium Timeship, Sovereign class, Scimitar, Penk's Tsuntakse ship, 8472 Bioship, Doomsday Machine, Borg Tactical Cube, Voth City Ship, Narada. Honestly you could break down the categories to fighters, frigates, capital ships, and planetary systems. Look how long the shield generator held up on Spacedock against an entire Borgified Starfleet, but Cardassia Prime fell much quicker against a similar sized Dominion fleet.

Scimitar, Vengeance, Oberth, Undine bioships. Quite a few, honestly.

Haven't even started this and I'll take the "little" Defiant.

Well done. Yes there is other ships to consider but everyone has an opinion.

the end made me hungry!

I would include the Domesday Machine (Planet Killer).

Fun fact, the IKS Rotarran, was a K'Vort Class Battlecruiser, the Bird of Prey you saw in Star Trek III, IV, V is the smaller B'Rel Class Scout!

I think the Species 8472 ship should have been on this list... especially in that one episode where they "combined" their beams and litterally blew up a borg planet

As well as the Sovereign Class Enterprise E and the Species 8472 Bioships I was surprised the Renegade Borg Ship wasn't included. All the enterprise Ds weapons scored direct hits without damaging it at all. It was only destroyed eventually by a solar flare.

The Galaxy class doesn't get enough credit for how insanely powerful it can be if it's tuned to focus on combat. It wasn't mentioned in DS9, iirc, but the Dominion war Galaxies came out of the dock yard with about 50% of their innards empty since all of the unnecessary components were either taken out on not installed at all. This left the Galaxy to be an excellent battleship-carrier hybrid and a command vessel, packing even more punch than the standard Galaxy class.

An incomplete list of ships more powerful than those listed, only going up through the TNG era (including movies). This list is in no specific order. Feel free to add to it. Sovereign class Prometheus class Scimitar class Voth city ship Species 8472 battleship Husnock battleship Borg tactical cube Nomad V'Ger The whale probe

3 missing ships from this list: the Reman Scimitar from Nemesis. The Akira class, which took on Romulan D'deridex in ST:Voyager and just smiled while doing it (Message in a Bottle). That showed off the Akira's capability better than First Contact did.

Missed a few: what about Tin Man? That ship knocked the Enterprise D and a Romulan warbird a pretty long distance away from a star going Supernova with about as much effort as a sneeze.

What about the dreadnought class from STB? or uss promethius ?

Great video as always guys but iI would've made some changes: I would've out the Soverign Class ship on there (They literally say in the film that it's the most advanced ship at the time) Species 8472 ships can blow up planets and Borg cubes. The USS Titans took on three heavily armed Pakled ships and wrecked them. The Texas Class ships took out a Soverign class vessel along with the Cerritos and survived a war core detonation. Speaking of which the Doomsday Weapon from TOS should be on there as it is technically a ship. Shinzon's Scimitar took on both the Enterprize-e and A Romulan warbird at the same time and pummelled both ships. The upgraded Voyager from Endgame should be on there as it was also able to go toe to toe with the Borg. And lastly the USS Prometheus which was able to split into three ships and become its own mini fleet to fight an enermy.

What? The Pakleds didn't make the cut? LOL. Thanks guys! Great vid. 😊

Sovereign-class, Prometheus, Scimitar, 8472 Bioship, Assimilated Voyager (Scorpion, Part II; The Gift) are all clear-cut omissions.

Love the HGTTG ref at the start. 😂

The Jem'Hadar Fighter..And Galaxy Class? Wth.... NO *Sovereign Class, NO Excelsior Class/Lakota Upgrade, Tamarian Cruiser(OWNED the Ent. D) and the BROKEN Scimitar of Course!*

A Akira with 2 K'Vort class bird's of prey would be a great little force and my two favorite ships

"Ships? We don't need no stinking ships!" said Q, the Douwd and the Organians.

#11. The Sovereign-Class battleship, Sean darlin'. 🖖🏻

No whale ship thing. The ship that can completely turn off a starship by just flying near it

In the TOS era the Klingon K'tinga Class warship was the most powerful.

Inquiry-class (eg USS Zhang He) from Picard S1? Packed more of a punch than Galaxy-class IIRC

ooohh! A towel isn't for flying! it's just sustenance while you try to aim at the ground and miss! But for Spaceships, probability drives are great fun.

funny to see the Galaxy class featured so heavily, as it was canonically a symbol of federation hubris. A luxury liner, seriously lacking tactically, until the post borg-attack, and dominion war upgrades. Was also phased out rather quickly, as there was only so much that lipstick could do that particular pig

On Voyager, they transferred the Doctor to another ship which was ridiculously overpowered. Species 6821 (or whatever it was) on Voyager had ships that were ridiculously overpowered. Again, on Voyager, the time machine kept and entire section of space, if not the Galaxy, under constant control all they fiddled with spacetime.

I think you should flip the Romulan Warbird and the Galaxy class. Warbird in universe is reported to be more powerful than the Galaxy class. It also has the cloaking device, which gives it a huge advantage.

Annorax’s ship could erase an entire civilization from time itself, so I’m gonna go with that.

I realise we know too little about it to feature in the video, but immediately thought of the ship of the dinosaur race in Voyager: Distant Origins. I wouldn't be surprised if they could annihilate a Borg cube like it was nothing. 🦖

I kept thinking The Shrike or the Texas Class was going to show up at some point but they never did.

The Jem'Hadar "fighters" are actually called the Jem'Hadar Attack Ships. The Jem'Hadar DO have "fighters" but those were smaller, much more comparable in size to the Peregrine-Class fighters and the Danube-Class Runabouts. The Jem'Hadar Attack Ship was a larger vessel, roughly the size of a frigate or a small escort, like the Defiant-Class, the B'rel Bird-Of-Prey, and the T'Varo Light Warbird.

Soverigns, that dinosaur ship from voyager, the timeship from the year of hell, the relativity, the whale probe, the scimitar- Im sure there are other one offs im missing.

Who made this list? Here's a better list 10: jem'hadar attack ship 9: uss Prometheus 8: reman scimitar class warbird 7: Xindi aquatic ship 6: tholian wepspinner (ENT) 5: tinman (gomtue) 4: Borg cube 3: undine bioship 2: krenam time ship (annorax) 1: v'ger Doomsday machine doesn't count as it's technically not a ship

I think you should have put the Sovereign-class in the place of the Galaxy. The Galaxy's a cruise ship in space, the Sovereign made its entrance fighting the Borg. There was a tad bit of a difference there.

What about that dinosaurs species from Voyager in Delta quadrant? Those were lightyears ahead of tech from Voyager. That could be explored in another video. 💪🙂👍

No mention of the Krenim time ship? Thing can wipe out an entire species from all existence.

I'd take a Defiant class or Bird of Prey all day! Just some tough, reliable and elegant ships! NX-01 would also be nice to have, but just because I like the "rough around the edges low-tech" approach contrasting previously seen iterations of humanity in Star Trek

I feel like there are some ommissions from the list. For example Intrepid, Sovereign, Species 8472 Bioship, Prometheus, every other size Borg ship, Krenim Warships/Timeship, Hirogen Ships, ect.

I believe there will be a supplemental list to this one... Too many ships were omitted from this list.

The intrepid class by this logic should be number 1 cause they destroyed how many cubes?

Holy cow this was underresearched. Sovereign? Scimitar? 8472 Bioship? Tactical Borg Cube? Voth? VGer? Prometheus? Romulan Valdore? Texas? Pakled clumpship? There's 10 right there.

I dunno. I'd argue that V'Ger was inside a ship. Nero's ship seemed pretty hardcore. The USS Vengeance, The Scimitar, The Undine Bioships, The Voth City Ship... I'm not even thinking too hard.

Hmm most powerful ship... Gets taken down by a Flower 😅 Also by Over sleeping

Maybe no spec for it, but I'd bet the Enterprise J would be top of the list based on the likelihood of technological advances and use the astoundingly amazing Hyperbolic Torpedoes and Turbo Phasers. iirc the Defiant class had the same firepower as a Galaxy class, and being more maneuverable should be above the Galaxy. The D'Deridex should also be above the Galaxy I believe, though I don't remember any formal specs on it and the apparently newer Valdor (whatever the class) might be an improvement over the D'D. Many have already mentioned other one-off ships, Scimitar, Narada, Voth, and a few others. One I'll add is the giant Fesarius from the Corbomite Maneuver.

Actually Sean, Growan's Flagship was called the IKS Sword of Kahless named after the Sword of Kahless of course I think.

No love for the unrelated eating montage at the end?? 😂

10 doesn't do this list justice. You could pick 10 very powerful Starfleet classes alone.

Species 8472 had that wild planet killing attack formation. But we didn't see much else that it could do.

I'd rank the Defiant over the D'Deridex and the Galaxy classes. The Sovereign class also belongs to this list, I'd rank it just under the Borg Cubes, makint it the 2nd best (or the 3rd if you include the Scimitar). Great list anyway!

8:58 There's only one Jem'Hadar battleship here, the close-up ones are the battlecruisers, intentionally scaled up to look more menacing.

I know I am falling for the engagement-trap here, but: Galor class?🤣 Common guys! The Galor class is THE ship that is frequently made fun of in TNG. Cardassian captain: " In case you haven´t noticed, there are three of us and only two of you!" Klingon captain, smirking: "We are so afraid!" multiple Cardassian ships including one Galor Class against the Phoenix which transporter code is known - result: one destroyed Galor class, no damage at the Phoenix...

That's O.K. You do have to keep in mind that a ship is powerful in an era. I don't know if you can make a similar list about the TOS or Ent era but you might want to try.

The Pralor vessel from the Voyager Episode "Prototype" basically disabled Voyager in 10 seconds. The hive ship from the Voyager episode "Distant Origins," etc. It's a nice list, but i agree with the comments section. A part 2 or a reboot for this list could be a good idea

The Galor class was no match for the Enterprise when first introduced in TNG 4*12 - "The wounded"

Husnock battleship?!

The Voth City Ship is definitely one of the most powerful ships

I've never thought about asking this before, but what about some of the ships in the Star Trek reboots? In the first 2 movies, they had some ships that were almost indestructible, the first movie the Romulans and in the second Starfleet. Maybe you don't count the 3 rebooted movies as Star Trek, but there should be a mention somewhere.

Mentions special effects as a clip showing the floor covered in rocks plays. I always wondered why starships have parts built of stone.

I'd like to see a Husnok battleship and Voth City Ship on this list.

Sean's comment that "Sometimes, its more about the pilot than the ship itself", echoes what Captain James T. Kirk told Kate Janeway in the Star Trek novel "Dark Victory" by William Shatner: "You don't have to defeat the ship. Just the man." Glad that the USS Defiant and IKS Negh'Var made the list, but the Constitution class Starship should've been cited as well. Why? As Captain Kirk noted to Anan-7 in A Taste of Armaggedon, after ordering Scotty to invoke Starfleet General Order 24- "The Enterprise will Destroy Eminiar VII." 'Nuff said. 🖖

No mention of the akria if I'm sitting on the bridge of one of those bad boys I fear nothing.

Krenim timeship? Doomsday Machine (technically an automaton, but still)? V’ger (also an autonomous entity, granted)? Whale probe? Species 8472 bio-ships? Balok’s ship?

It’s the tactical borg fusion cube? Didn’t watch yet

Sovereign? 8472 Bioships? TACTICAL CUBE? NARADA???

I know the Galaxy Class is more "Iconic" but the Sovereign Class is superior in every way. The Scimitar, it was packed with weapons and shields. The only reason it lost to the Enterprise E (the most powerful ship in the fleet) is because they let Deanna drive.

The Fesarius from TOS would like a word.

Was waiting for USS Prometheus 😮

Voth City Ship - can literally beam another starship out of the way.
