    What they have:

    Literal magic

    Immortal Vulcans that are a bit more chill

    Personal cloaking device

    Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

    What we have

    (see meme)

    I see no downsides.

      • “Any sufficiently advanced technology appears to be magic to the primitive” — Picard, paraphrased

      • Vulcans are functionally immortal (remember)

      • ST also has personal cloaks. And transporters (better than giant eagles that only take you halfway)

      • Worf would do like a word about the Bat’leth and other assorted slicey things
