[Rodimus Prime]

I'm considering only the OT of Star Wars and TOS of Star Trek here.

The ships would probably keep annihilating each other, but if Vader's ship is involved, it would most likely tip the scales, due to being one big ass ship with powerful weapons, as well as Vader himself, most likely. Remember, he could probably choke out every Star Fleet officer even if he has to do it one by one. Or does he have to be within a certain range?

If Vader and/or the Emperor are not involved, it would just be a firefight, and it would most likely be impossible to tell who would win.

I'm going to go with The Empire here. Let's face it, the enterprise wouldn't hold up against a Star Destroyer for long. And a whole fleet of Star Destroyers...

I think the Enterprise D would give any I-class Star Destroyer a sound whooping.

Though I think the Empire would take it. Due to their use of fast fighters. No way phaser banks and photon torpedoes could could nail a swarm of TIE fighters. Star Trek battles are mostly capital ship slug-fests.

I have to agree with you there. TIEs may not have a huge armament but there's a ton of them and a single ship to single ship fight turns into one vs squadrons plus enemy capital ship

I'm gonna go with the Empire. They didn't control most of the galaxy for nothing.

From what I understand they didnt control most of their galaxy.

Depends on what you mean by "Most." They had 70,000,000 planets under their belt at their peak. There are around 200,000,000,000 stars had planets that could support life. And while that's actually a really low percentage, realize that Felicia, Korriban, and Tatooine can all technically support life, and I think few people here would want to buy a house on any of those planets.

Still, whatever planets they didn't take were probably crappy or useless anyway. Everything else they got through deception, intimidation, or force. How many planets has Star Fleet taken by force?

There are also large areas of unclaimed space in the SW universe.

The fact that star fleet doesnt operate that way doesn't mean it couldn't if it wanted too.

Just look at the Terran empire of the mirror universe.

And like I said, the Empire could have taken the rest of known space if they wanted to. It's just, why waste the effort trying to conquer Tatooine?

And no, I really doubt Star Fleet could have taken 70,000,000 planets by force. They don't have nearly enough resources.

Thats an assumption based on little facts.

Meaning, theres no reason to assume the un-claimed areas of space are anything like Tatooine.

I dont think I suggested a number of planets as a comparison.

It was an example. The Unknown Regions aren't all composed of copies of Aleraan either.

I know I was.

Examples are based on some verifiable facts.

Well I'll say this.

Based on what is undeniable canon, meaning whats seen in the SW films and not the books,comics and other sources, the Galactic empire was in power for about 20-25 years.

The Mirror Universes Terran empire ruled for over 150 years.
