>>143418302Last sci-fi thing I watched was...Star Trek: The Next Generation. Their tech makes them one of the top civilizations in the setting at the time of the series.
I could see the Federation trying to enter into an alliance with them, but while most of the Federation would be accepting, I could see humanity being off put by the fact most Jurians undergo extreme body and gene modification during their lives, or even prior to their births, to make them all super-human entities. Most people in the higher echelons are functionally immortal. Lower end folk are still physically beyond most species in the Milky Way with the body enhancement treatment.
Their ship tech is basically magic to other races. Hyperspace transit makes them uncontested in speed, and the Royal Trees many Jurian vessels are equiped with provide more energy than a star, and incredible computational capability. Internal spaces are subspaces ranging from the size of a city on the to an entire country side, and the Light Hawk Wings some vessels can generate make them damn near untouchable. I could see Lady Seto using the Triple Z Wave to knock out a fleet of Klingon/Romulan ships just for funsies and the recipient promptly shitting their pants that one ship just managed to disable an armada in one attack.
The Borg would be a reasonably concerning threat to the Jurian Empire, I feel. If a Borg managed to scan a Jurian and relay that info back to the Collective, the Borg would start pushing tooth and nail to assimilate them and their tech. To my understanding, Borg transwarp would almost be as fast as Jurian hyperspace speeds, their hive mind nature making themdifficult to plan against or around. The Jurians edge against them is their weapons capability.
