AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 03/04/13 -- The Multiverse, Stardate: -310170.77 -- For years, the battles have raged between sci-fi fanbases -- Picard versus Kirk, Wars vs. Trek for the best "Star" series, The Doctor versus... well, the Doctor. But now, a clear victor can be determined and one iconic science fiction figure shall rise above the rest, thanks to the Sci-Fi Bracket Battle, hosted by the brave souls at SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI).

Blasting off on March 8, 2013, at thwack.com, this plasma-powered slugfest will be presented in a bracket-based, "March Madness"-style competition featuring 33 science fiction titans across literature, television and cinema, with community votes determining each round's winner. This means that you have the power to push your favored icon to victory, while condemning the loser of each matchup to a date with a faulty airlock and a black hole.

The full slate of match-ups will be announced on March 8, 2013, at thwack.com, but to help slake the inevitable thirst for bloodshed, consider these questions:

• Who is the "true" captain of the USS Enterprise?
• Which rogue AI is doomed to deletion?
• Would you rather ASSIMILATE or EXTERMINATE?

These fights, however, are anything but fair -- galvanize your fanbase and ensure that your champion tastes the sweet nectar of victory. Push your agenda across your favorite social channels with #SWIscifibattle or engage in text-to-text battle on thwack or your favored message board -- but get the message out:

Your champion will win, and the others will be left sucking Rancor droppings.
