the trouble in comparing OA to most other fiction is that most of the popular universes don't follow critical laws of physics, like spacecraft going faster than light speed or human-controlled energy bubble force fields being possible or spacecraft having artificial gravity generators.
I mean, if you want to write crossover fan fiction and ignore a whole bunch of laws, it could totally work as a fun plot, but I suspect that any universe whose physics allows transapients and archai will 'lose' to the archai.
mostly because strategy, tactics, and the scientific method are universal.

I think that asking such a question misses all sorts of possible subtle pathways and stories because in such a "cross-over", the entire concept conquering would be outdated. Maybe the transapients would just establish trade instead.
, OA pretty much incorporates components from all the universes that would be compatible, physics-wise- as well as sharing common ancestral DNA anyway, so to speak.
