Doing 40 seconds of research I came to this conclusion:Worf (I think) said that it would take the entire payload of photon torpedoes on the Enterprise to destroy an asteroid (of unknown size to me). 250 photon torpedoes on board.
Imperial-class Destroyers were blasting asteroids apart like burst bubbles. In some comic I think it was, three ISSs emerged from hyperspace and slammed right in to the Executor. They were all vaporized.
...
Yeah.
Now where did you get such information? Let's go by the most recent Trek series, Enterprise, which is the oldest in story Timeline. And that Enterprise, NX01, is hundreds of years more inferior than what Picard was the Captain of. Now at the end of season 2 that Enterprise was just equipped with photonic torpeods and Tactical officer Reed stated just one of them could blast a hole 3,000 meters deep into an asteroid. That's nearly 2 miles into solid rock!!!! And in the Trek universe we see them evolve into using Quantum then Transphasic torpedoes. Also, when the old Enterprise was testing out it's new Phasic beams they blasted a mountain the size of Mount McKinley.
I understand fans of either side of the fence will always declare their universe better, but Trek is more intelligently based in Science and Star Wars was meant to look cool on a movie screen. When George Lucas came up with this stuff he has the same mentality as when Megan Fox was picked for the Transformers movie because she looked hot in a mini skirt.

Me? I have always loved Executor, so i have always been a little biased. I was sad when it got brought down in VI....The Damn A-Wing! I am a big fan of the Empire and their amazing weapons of mass destruction.
Yeah, a single A-Wing brought it down. Amazing how some many Wars fans claim these ships are battle ready when a rag-tag bunch of Rebels kicked their ass. IF Star Destroyers were worth anything they STILL should have won the Battle Of Endor even without the Death Star. Once the Death Star bit the dust the rest was a formality.
We should also take into consideration the Empires choices of Captains and Commanders appeared to be a collection of bummbling idiots. How about their inability to track the Falcon and having to hire Bounty Hunters. I'm sure it would of sat well with Worf had Picard had to hire some Nausicans to hunt down Tasha Yar.
Oh yeah, sorry for the late threads bumps. 💃

After the entire Alliance fleet fired on it continuously and brought down its shields and the bridge's deflector array was destroyed and the command deck was rammed by said A-Wing 👆

Just like the Maquis 👆
They were really unorganized in the beginnings of rebellion, but the Alliance was far more organized than the small cells that barely caught the Empire's attention, which is why they were able to build in number so fast. Additionally, they had the shipyards of Mon Calamari producing capital ships that almost rivaled Imperial I and II SD's (more so the I), not to mention Home One. They won because they were good at hiding, running, manipulating, briefly attacking, doing small jobs to wither away at the Empire, etc., and eventually the Emperor made a miscalculation, and you know the rest.

You underestimate the Alliance Fleet. While the Empire did have a great military leader at the fight (Piett), the Emperor's miscalculations were the main reason they lost the fight. Since the imp fleet was standing by while the Death Star picked away at the Rebels. The Alliance was losing until they destroyed the Executor, which left the fleet without a fleet commander, and they splintered and lost.

The problem with the Empire is many of the high ranking officers got their positions through manipulation rather than being worthy of the position. Piett, Veers, Thrawn, and Tarkin are the best commanders in the Empire that I can think of. They were all trained for war, not hunting insurgents.

They're trained for hunting, Imperial officers are trained for war 👆

Those 4 were the best, but no. The average officer is quite good at commanding and are worthy of their position.
Sure some Officers did get their position through political means rather than earning it, but not all of them did. It's noted and shown through a few comics, sourcebooks that Imp Officers generally are good thinkers.
Also one thing that is incredibly overlooked regarding the Rebellion. The Empire inadvertently helped them out with defectors which include former pilots. Who are considered the best in the galaxy(only 10% actually get commissions that complete their training and the academy doesn't take above average skill, meaning it has to be more than just that.), which means hello to all information regarding Imperial tactics and all that.
