Did you read my other posts?
George Lucas, the owner of Star Wars as you probably know, states that Star Wars EU is canon.
The owners of Star Trek state that Star Trek EU is NOT part of Star TREK canon.
In the TV shows and movies, Star Trek has not shown any tanks, artillery or other vehicles. Therefore, a Star Trek ground force would get rofl stomped by a Star Wars ground force of similar numbers and starting position. Star Wars has AT-ATs, Juggernaut vehicles, ground troopers that are well trained, well armed and well armored and much more that Star Trek does not have. A modern ground force might defeat a Star Trek ground force of similar numbers and starting positions. A Star Wars ground force would easily defeat a Star Trek ground force of similar numbers and starting position.
Ground combat is not irrelevant and is very important due to several reasons. One of them in this case is that Star Wars planetary shields prevent a Star Trek invasion force from using orbital bomardment. A Star Trek invasion force would have to try a ground invasion, which would fail horribly when faced with superior Star Wars ground forces.
