Stardestroyer.net (SDN) is a science fiction information site and online community maintained by Michael Wong, primarily devoted to the Star Trek versus Star Wars debate. SDN presents its case (in the Technology and Tactics sections) through the fictional narrative of an Imperial intelligence officer weighing the strategic and tactical balance between Star Wars' Galactic Empire and Star Trek's United Federation of Planets. Despite the nature of the site being devoted to the Star Trek versus Star Wars debate, much of the site is devoted to topics other than the debate. In fact, only about a third of the discussion on the site's forums pertains to science fiction and fantasy.

Overview
Stardestroyer.net's primary page covers the topic of Star Trek vs Star Wars and has some discussion of the portrayal of science in science-fiction. However, over the years Mike Wong has expanded the site to cover other topics within his interests. These include pages dealing with Creationism and Christianity in regards to science and morality, fan fiction written by Mike concerning ST vs SW, and Mike's personal page. Most recently, discussion forums were added to the site in 2002 shortly after the release of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. The forums have expanded into a community with over two-thousand members, discussing many diverse topics.
Criticism
The main site makes an exhaustive if disputed case for Imperial superiority over the Federation in nearly every physically quantifiable category. A series of highly critical essays addressing the Star Trek franchise's general treatment of science and technology, politics and society, economics, plot and theme have also attracted criticism.
