Goa'uld vs. Wraith
I couldn't think of a workable premise for this conflict. Maybe someone else could help me out?
In space:
1) the Gould had the advantage of numbers before they were overthrown.
2) Wraith darts are faster and more maneuverable then deathgliders with the added ability to land troops/capture prisoners quickly.
3) Gould motherships have shields but they're smaller then Hive ships and have fewer guns.
4) Wraith hive ships can carry many more darts then a mothership can carry deathgliders.
5) Gould ships can stay in hyperspace for longer periods of time and don't have to stop to cull.
On the ground:
1) one-on-one jaffa and wraith seem pretty equal unless we're talking about a Wraith commander (psychic powers) or hand-to-hand combat where the Wraith physical strenght gives them the advantage.
2) In realistic combat the Wraith would lose because the rely exclusivly on stunners while jaffa have grenades, staff weapons, zats (lethal and non-lethal) and stationary guns.
3) Both sides wear body armour and niether seems to be stronger then the other although the Wraith have the advantage of regenerative abilities.
Industrial capacity:
1) the Wraith don't have any industrial capacity. They havn't shown any ability to construct new hive ships. Perhaps there are limited production capabilites onboard Wraith hive ships, like dart construction/repair and body armour/stunner construction.
2) the Gould have proven their ability to construct new ships. They have large anti-gravity dry-docks that support motherships during construction.
3) the Wraith have made no significant technological advances in 10000 years.
4) the Gould Apophis (or one of his underlings) created a new type of hyperdrive that was a significant improvment on previous types. Other Gould quickly followed. THis shows that they have at least a limited ability to advace technologically.
In my opinion, in a straight up war, the Gould would be victorious because they can rebuild ships and weapons. They also have shown a capacity for technological advance while the Wraith havn't even developed shields or sustainable hyperdrive.
versus aside, I would like to see some Gould or Wraith armour for once. It would also be cool if the Gould retractable helmat had some sort of HUD that gave jaffa enhanced vision etc. but there is no indication of that from any of the shows.
