Star Trek: The Deadliest Warrior
Disclaimer: Neither the Deadliest Warrior nor Star Trek is owned by me. This is how I imagined the simulation of the Deadliest Warrior of the Trekkieverse to go. I also made up two Hirogen hunters since the ones that I knew by name were killed off during Voyager's seasons.
Here's who I imagined as the hosts of the series.
Voiceover: A Jem'Hadar soldier - a fierce and violent genetically engineered shock trooper of the Dominion. (Scenes from To the Death and The Siege of AR-558 will be shown to display the Jem'Hadar fighting prowess)
A Hirogen hunter - cold and methodical stalker of sentient species of the Delta Quadrant.
(See the Hirogen blasting the Species 8472 survivor with disruptor blasts).
Who is deadliest? To find out our world class fighters are testing history's deadliest weapons.
Using modern science our experts will use the latest technology to determine who is the Deadliest Warrior.

Voiceover: Welcome to the Fight Pit where two teams of elite warriors have assembled under the purview of scientists, engineers, and martial arts experts.
Commander Chakotay, former First Officer of USS Voyager, collects battle data using a wide array of sophisticated implements and sensors.
Deep Space Nine Chief Medical Officer Dr. Julian Bashir will examine the trauma inflicted by the weapons wielded by these warriors.
Lt. Reginald Barclay of Jupiter Station will compile that data to simulate it on the holodeck.
The talents of these three men is being brought together to simulate a battle between two legendary warriors. The fiersome Jem'Hadar, the ultimate shock troops of the Gamma Quadrant's Dominion. The Hirogen, cold blooded and deadly hunters of prey from the Delta Quadrant.
To prevent this batle from being won by a chance blow or weapon blast Lt. Barclay will set the computer to simulate a five on five squad death match between the two teams of warriors.
The Jem'Hadar are represented by Honored Elder Omet'iklan. Honred Elder Omet'iklan savagely put down a rebellion by a rogue faction of his own race before going on to fight against Federation, Klingon, and Romulan forces in the Dominion War.
Omet'iklan: War is what the Jem'Hadar are bred to do and trained throughout our lives to fight. To fight for the Founders is the core of our being. Victory is Life!
(Omet'iklan swings his kar'takin pole in the air)
Voiceover: First Talak'Talan. A veteran Jem'Hadar soldier, he was the first of their race encountered by the Federation. A skilled warrior at all ranges, Talak'Talan served in the Dominion war as the First for a unit of Jem'Hadar sharpshooters.
Talak'Talan: No warrior is more skilled or determined than the Jem'Hadar. In countless engagements we have forced retreats and defeats upon the warriors of countless species. The Hirogen will be no match for the Jem'Hadar.
Voiceover: The Hirogen are equally as confident in their abilities as hunters and believe that their hunting prowess give them an edge of the Jem'Hadar.
Alpha Vosst, a Hirogen hunter that survived a battle against the vicious Species 8472.
Vosst: The Jem'Hadar boast of their skill as warriors. But they are no match for the cunning and skill of a Hirogen hunter. The Jem'Hadar are unworthy prey.
(Vosst applies the paint to his helmet)
Voiceover: Beta Kevar survived the ravages of the Delta Quadrant's vicious Tsunkatse matches for nearly nineteen years and survived numerous hunts against formidable opponents.
Kevar: Hirogen hunters would decimate the Jem'Hadar before they got anywhere near us. We would mount their skeletal remains on our walls and use their ketracel white tubes as relics of a hunt.
Chakotay: Having fought against the Hirogen I would say they are formidable opponents. That being said they have never encountered a species with as much in the way of deadly surprises as the Jem'Hadar. This battle could honestly go either way.
Barclay: To be honest I would bet the Hirogen to be the superior of the two species in this fight. Hirogen weapons are accurate, powerful, and deadly.
Dr. Bashir: As a physician I would say I would not want to fight against either the Jem'Hadar or Hirogen if I could help it.
Voiceover: The test will now begin with the Hirogen weapon for close quarter combat - the dirk.
Chakotay: So describe to us this weapon.
Vosst: It is made of a composite alloy that can punch through most species' armored protection. We use it to extract skeletons of our prey but it is equally useful as a close in weapon.
Voiceover: Dr. Bashir has rigged up a holographic humanoid body to determine the killing power of the Hirogen dirk.
Chakotay: Ready. Go!
(Vosst stabs the simulated humanoid torso with the knife repeatedly punching holes in the rib cage and even going through the sternum. After he's done Bashir examines the stab wounds.)
Bashir: Fractured ribs. Punctured lungs and heart. These are definitely lethal kills.
(Omet'iklan inspects the torso and looks toward Bashir and Chakotay)
Omet'iklan: No Jem'Hadar warrior fights without his armor.
Chakotay: Our Jem'Hadar team brings up a good point. Can your blade go through armor?
Vosst: Let us try that again.
(Barclay inputs some commands to reset the torso and this time it has a Jem'Hadar armored uniform. Vosst attacks the torso again. The blade punctures the Jem'Hadar armor.)
Chakotay: Well Doctor. Let's see the results.
(Bashir scans with his tricorder and looks at the screen)
Bashir: Less damage than with an unarmored torso but we still see broken bones and laceration to organs.
Talak'Talan: The Hirogen will find the Jem'Hadar capable of withstanding such injuries and still being able to fight.
Voiceover: The Jem'Hadar answer with a dagger of their own. At close range Jem'Hadar soldiers have frequently inflicted damage on their enemies.
(Show Vargas being killed on AR-558 by the dagger through the back).
Voiceover: Barclay has programmed a gel torso with the same density as humanoid bodies clad in a simulation of Hirogen armor. Honored Elder Omet'iklan will demonstrate the Jem'Hadar dagger's effectiveness against Hirogen armor.
(Omet'iklan stabs the Hirogen armored torso. The knife pentetrates but does no damage. He looks and stabs into a gap under the armpit and pierces into the heart of the simulated Hirogen)
Bashir: It seems the Hirogen armor was able to withstand direct stabs from the Jem'Hadar dagger. That being said the Jem'Hadar were able to exploit any gaps in the Hirogen's armor.
Voiceover: Our experts are divided as to which weapon has the edge in this fight.
Chakotay: I would say the Hirogen dirk without question is the better weapon. It was able to puncture Jem'Hadar armor and inflict significant trauma.
Bashir: I disagree. With good timing and speed a Jem'Hadar could easily exploit any gaps in the Hirogen's armor. And that dagger is somewhat faster to bring to bear than the Hirogen dirk.
Voiceover: The deciding vote goes to Reginald Barclay.
Barclay: I would give the edge to the Hirogen. Their dirk was consistently able to inflict trauma on the Jem'Hadar even with the presence of armor.
Voiceover: The advantage goes to the Hirogen. Coming up our warriors demonstrate their medium range combat weapons...
---
Voiceover: Inside the fight pit two teams of elite warriors prepare themselves to simulate a battle to the death. The Hirogen hunter - a cold blooded and methodical killer of the Delta Quadrant. The Jem'Hadar warrior - aggressive and vicious shock trooper of the Dominion. Who will win? The match up for the title of Deadliest Warrior goes to the mid range weapons of the two species. The Hirogen wield the bayonet. Transforming their tetryon rifles into mid range pikes the bayonet can slash or thrust into an enemy.
Beta Kevar will demonstrate the Hirogen bayonet rifle under combat conditions against a gel torso wearing Jem'Hadar armor.
(Kevar swings the bayonet rifle against the Jem'Hadar. It cuts into the armor but the armor of the Jem'Hadar means the slash only puts in a slight scratch. He brings the weapon to a position to thrust forward and impales the simulated Jem'Hadar body)
Kevar: A flawless kill.
Chakotay: I don't know about flawless but it is certainly a kill.
Bashir: Slashing attacks against Jem'Hadar armor don't seem to work nearly as well as direct thrusts. The Jem'Hadar's armor was able to protect him from being too seriously wounded by the slashing attack. That thrusting attack is lethal however.
Omet'iklan: Any enemy foolish enough to fight a Jem'Hadar at closer ranges will likely be killed near instantly.
Kevar: Your weapon is almost half a meter shorter than our rifle.
Omet'iklan: I do not need to keep an enemy at range. I need only to close with and destroy an enemy.
Voiceover: The Jem'Hadar are masters of the kar'takin pole. A bladed staff with razor sharp blades.
(Show the scene from To the Death with the Jem'Hadar using their kar'takin poles to deadly effect).
Voiceover: Lt. Barclay has set up a gel head and torso wearing Hirogen armor.
Chakotay: Ready Omet'iklan.
Omet'iklan: Readiness is victory. And Victory is Life!
(Omet'iklan swings the blade at the neck of the torso and slashes the Hirogen's head off with a single swing. Barclay's eyes go wide.)
Barclay: I would certainly declare the Jem'Hadar as the victors in this fight.
Bashir: I agree. The kar'takin went through the neck of the Hirogen almost effortlessly.
Kevar: You realize it is unlikely the Jem'Hadar would get that close.
Talak'Talan: You fail to realize that we can shroud ourselves from both visual and sensor arrays.
Kevar: You have clearly not encountered Hirogen weaponry and or sensor systems. And Hirogen visual acuity is superior to most humanoid species.
Chakotay: Let's settle this with a simple field test.
Kevar: Certainly.
(A shrouded Jem'Hadar approaches Kevar. Cut to the Hirogen sensor display which shows a slight blur in the display but nothing solid. Kevar fires his rifle three times. He misses on the first two blasts but the third catches the Jem'Hadar solidly)
Chakotay: From these tests we were able to ascertain that the Jem'Hadar personal cloaks are able to conceal them almost entirely from visual scans and electronic scanning. The Hirogen were able to detect the Jem'Hadar but almost a split second too late.
In the area of mid-range weaponry I give the advantage to the Jem'Hadar due to their ability to sneak up on the Hirogen and the one shot killing ability of the kar'takin pole. That quick decapitation attacks a critical Hirogen vulnerability.
Voiceover: In the mid-range match-up the Jem'Hadar kar'takin takes the advantage over the Hirogen bayonet. Up next the Jem'Hadar and Hirogen go to their guns as the long range weaponry of both sides are tested.
---
Voiceover: Inside the fight pit the Jem'Hadar and Hirogen prepare to fire away at one another with lethal energy weapons.
The Jem'Hadar bring to battle their polaron disruptor rifles.
Bashir: Jem'Hadar polaron bursts are lethal even against armored opponents and they continue to inflict lethal damage with the anti-coagulant factor of their weapons. Even if a target survives the intial blast it will die soon after from hemorraging.
Vosst: Even if I am bleeding I can still kill the Jem'Hadar.
Voiceover: A firing range of targets at various distances has been set up to demonstrate the lethal potential of the Jem'Hadar polaron disruptor rifle.
First Talak'Talan will demonstrate the weapon's lethal potential against a series of targets at unknown ranges.
(Talak'Talan opens fire. The bursts hit the closest targets accurately but further away the blasts either graze or miss targets which forces him to fire additional shots.)
Vosst: Any inacuracy at long range I will almost certainly exploit.
Talak'Talan: However I can fire faster than you could certainly.
Vosst: But I fire single shots and single kills.
Voiceover: The Hirogen bring to bear the tetryon rifle. An optimized hunting weapon at all ranges the rifle is truly a hunter's weapon designed for accuracy and power.
(Vosst readies his rifle and fires at the targets. All of his shots are one shot kills.)
Voiceover: Our experts are divided as to which long range weapon has the edge.
Bashir: One shot and one kill is a good motto but not always acheivable under combat conditions. I say the Jem'Hadar have the advantage because they can recover from a missed shot faster than the Hirogen.
Chakotay: That might be true but Hirogen shots kill on the first shot and they consistantly hit targets on their first shot at a higher rate than the Jem'Hadar.
Voiceover: The deciding vote belongs to Lt. Barclay.
Barclay: Jem'Hadar are able to bring their disruptors to bear faster and at a higher rate of fire. However Hirogen are better able to place their shots accurately with killing blows. I give the advantage to the Hirogen.
Voiceover: Coming up next the battle to decide who is the deadliest warrior. The Hirogen or the Jem'Hadar. The polls are open and the battle shall be joined in one week...
Here's who I imagined as the hosts of the series.
- Medical Expert: Dr. Julian Bashir
- Host: Commander Chakotay
- Computer Programmer: Lt. Reginald Barclay
Voiceover: A Jem'Hadar soldier - a fierce and violent genetically engineered shock trooper of the Dominion. (Scenes from To the Death and The Siege of AR-558 will be shown to display the Jem'Hadar fighting prowess)
