Eh, to go blatantly ad hominem, it's StarDestroyer.net. It's a site devoted to arguing that the technology and militaries of one not-remotely-hard SF setting are "better" than the technology and militaries of another not-remotely-hard SF setting. When I've looked before, there were straight-faced essays on there about the wonders of Imperial stormtrooper armor (augmented reality HUDs, sensors, etc.) that would have ended the Star Wars series about two minutes after the Millenium Falcon got tractor-beamed into the Death Star. There were deadpan articles about the military skills and discipline of those stormtroopers that don't at all fit with their getting slaughtered by Ewoks or a formation of them running in panic from a single charging man in their own base. The wacky justifications for all the "canon" they contradict with their claims make it clear - this stuff is not meant to be taken any more seriously than the puddi puddi meme. It's meant to amuse people and troll Trek fans. ETA: I mean, really, do we want to look at the engineering practices in Star Wars? Huge walking tanks you can trip or take out with one grenade, near-absence of railings, etc... It doesn't bear worrying about. :)
