What exactly is the Force in the Star Wars universe? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... there existed an omnipotent, mysterious, and powerful energy field that flowed through everything in the universe, uniting it all. Civilizations across time and galaxies called the Force by different names. It was called the Life Current by the Mustafarians, the Luminous Mist by the Mist-Weavers, the Great Presence by the people of the Chaos, and the Sight by the Chiss. While the Force flowed through all beings, only a few had the intrinsic ability to sense and control the enigmatic Force. These individuals were referred to as Force-sensitive, and with training, they could cultivate their ability to manipulate the Force into different forms and abilities.

Would an ion cannon be able to impact the Megazord? That’s hard to say. But what’s evident from the stories is how effective these fleets can work together as a team.
We took five different metrics – driver behavior, fleet maintenance, reactive capability, environmental impact, and managerial control – to study how each of these fictional fleets of fantasy attack problems and work together. From the survivors in Battlestar Galactica to the dusty warriors of Mad Max: Fury Road, we studied how well each team communicates and moves across distances on land, air, sea, and across space. So who is the best team to work together in the fantasy realm? Created by: Telectrac Navman
