What they have:

Literal magic

Immortal Vulcans that are a bit more chill

Personal cloaking device

Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.

What we have

Weapons that are impervious to scattering fields and ionized atmospheric radiation that renders phasers inoperable.
