Star Trek v. Star Wars

I have a great fondness for both stories and for completely different reasons. Comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges: there is no comparing. They are told with different formats, they belong to different 'worlds'. Star Wars is not even science fiction, it's space fantasy. etc. etc.
 
I think it's photon torpedo. ;) I don't think Trek has ion-technology, do they? :p Just kidding, I really don't know; I only know of the photon-type weaponry.
 
They don't have it, but they did encounter it -- in one episode of The Original Series, the crew is staring in wonder at a kind of ship they've never seen before, and Scottie says, with admiration, "Ion-propulsion! They're decades ahead of us in technology" or something like that.
