The Senario: While exploring the bajorian wormhole the federation encounters the empire.

Rules: Canon material only, no temporal interferance.

Timeline: Hight of Empire, just before the battlend of Yavin 4.

Deep Space 9 just before the first encounter with the Dominion.

Additionally: The Q set it up so they will no get involved, expect to annoy significant characters. The rebellion still exists but they are severely weakened as the empire will retask the death star and send a fleet of star destroyers instead. The klingons will quickly join the federation, the Romulus will but it will take time. The Cardassians will ally with the empire.

Star Trek fo sho. Shield technology is far better, even small shuttle crafts have basic shields and don't need the big shield generator equipment.

Some quick notes to help

Empire

Larger fleet, resources, personal, and fighters. Dedicated army. Faster ftl.

Federation and friends

Longer range weponry, more tactical ftl, ftl weapons (this is pre death star 3). Bottleneck on wormhole defense.

Spock, who helped negotiate the use of the cloaking device for the Defiant contacts Picard.

They assemble a team, take the Defiant and infiltrate the Section 31 research station where the Planet Killer has been studied and it's computers partially restored.

Data and Spock manage retrieve the general location of a number of other Planet Killers from it's database.

The Enterprise and Defiant leads a small fleet of ships to find one reprogram it for an attack on the Empire.

They first go to Betazed where Wesley Crusher and a large portion of the population reach out to the Traveler. They are of course unable to locate him, but they are able to get his attention. It works and he joins them in a few days.

With his help they quickly travel to the border of the Gamma and Alpha quadrants on the outer rim.

There they locate a Planet Killer in a few days.

A group of Tholian ships managed to halt it's movements, while the Bynars use a Borg device to overwrite it's control systems.

A multi pronged attack on the Empire.

The Traveler's energy is taxed from the retrieval operation so he is unable to help in the attack.

Several cloaked Romulan ships carry teams of Betazoids to confuse, defend against and attack as they are able the Sith Lord and Darth Vador. These ships are scattered throughout the fleet.

Teams of Bynars are employed to deal with Droids and other Empire tech.

The Defiant and much of the Klingon fleet engage the smaller ships and clear a path for the Planet Killer to destroy the Death Star.

How's that?

Well with the response I expected you to have the defiant cloak and take out the thermal port on the death star. It certainly was creative.

As for the tholians it seems unlikely they would help they are extreme isolationist after all. Really they would only be likly to intervien for temporal tech or a direct attack on them.

Use of the travler is clever but unlikly to work too well. As far as we know he can only boost one ship, and a planet killer may be too large. Xindi or neuronium planet killer?

Also planetary battles would be realisicly be unlikly by st forces as by TOS they can fire highly accurate phasers on a planet even on stun. Though with the exception of the borg(and it seems unlikely they would involve them), sw ground forces could take out really any st ground force.

Honestly I didn't remember all of the details of all of the encounters with the Tholians. I actually thought that might be a stretch when I contrived it.

However, after your response I went and looked at this.

http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tholian

It seems that Sisko has a relationship with the Tholian Ambassador and is known to curry favors. So not out of the question.

For the Traveler we do know that he is able to boost his power with the empathy of others. So if you take a bunch of Betazoids along, who knows what they might accomplish.

I was referring to the Planet Killer that Matt Decker rendered inoperable in the original series. Since it was not destroyed, you have the possibility that some of it's systems are still accessible.

When I mentioned the Borg, I wasn't implying they would help. I was alluding to some bit of tech recovered from one of the encounters, most likely at Wolf 359.

I didn't even consider a ground battle, but though not the norm Starfleet and especially the Klingons are certainly capable of a ground assault at any scale.

I didn't really know sisko had favor worth the tholians. But looking at the article they couldn't get tholian help in the dominion war even when the dominion killed one of their ambassadors. So they would likely stay out of it
