I thought that was somewhat over enthusiastic of you! :)

8000 ships was was just a low end guesstimate on my part. It's certainly not set in stone. However, we can use 8000 ships for this thread.

Hmmm....well depends what you mean by win. Personally I still believe that the (remains of) Dominion fleet would be the one left at the end, but there could be a lot of damage to the Dominion world. So who would be the victor? Turn it around and make it an Imperial world, and I think it would take a lot of damage too. Best to leave the world out of it, and make it just a fleet battle.

True, but we don't have a definitive time frame for it. Would the Imperial fleet survive long enough to complete it?

Maybe! :) There are multiple definitions of what constitutes a BDZ. Melting the entire upper crust is one of the higher end estimates. Others just require the destruction of the planets infrastructure and higher lifeforms. Others require extermination of all life. It has never been definintively shown what the defintion of BDZ is (Base Delta Zero aside!).

Possibly, but Trek "fighters" are magnitudes above Wars fighters in size and capabilities. Most Imperial fighters don't have shields torpedoes or hyperdrives. Most Trek "fighters" have warp, torpedoes and shields. Unshielded Wars fighters (ie standard TIEs) are little little more than cannon fodder in this battle.
