Would it matter which enterprise or star destroyer was used?

    Firepower in Trek is absolutely comically more powerful than in Star Wars. Like to an absurd degree. From that perspective, it wouldn’t even be a fight.

    Factor in transporters being able to do stuff like beam a photon torpedo onboard and it gets more comical.

    That said, Star Wars ships (at least in hyperspace) are vastly faster than Star Trek ships, so I’d imagine that would be amazing in terms of warfare logistics.

      Except they’re only faster in precalculated hyperspace lanes, you can’t really point anywhere and go like a warp drive can. If they drop into a ST universe, they’re completely boned. If the enterprise drops into SW, they can still play Swamp Fox all along the lanes and entry/exit points until they run out of dylithium

      Starfleet technically understands the Borg’s transwarp gateways by the time of the Enterprise E, thanks to Janeway, so even if it isn’t just a fundamental difference in the way physics works in the two universes, Trek has a route to match and exceed those speeds (instant travel transwarp being demonstrably possible in the trek universe).

      All that said, I would relish a montage of some High Elves Vulcans figuring out how the Force works and mastering it in a matter of days, if not hours, because they realize their people figured it out and then abandoned that tech centuries ago.
