The Galactic Empire would win the war simply because their FTL is fast and reliable. 40k wins the most of the battles. Under that scale of threat, one would think they might reform the chapters into the Legions. The idea that the UNSC could beat the Imperium is laughable. A Scorpion has nothing on a Leman Russ let alone a Baneblade or Land Raider. The IoM of lost an unimaginable amount of knowledge, that's true. But the scraps they do have come from a human civilization 23000 years more advanced than the UNSC. A Spartan wouldn't stand a change against a Space Marine. Spartans have decades of training you say? Astartes are effectively immortal, the only thing keeping them from achieving it is that they live on a battlefield with: Ancient Murdering Robots that wear the flesh of their newest victims Genetically engineered killing machines The evil twin brother of the Genetically engineered killing machines, with equally evil goatees Clad in powered armor Genetically-engineered alien killing machines Manipulative space elves in possession of extremely cheesy technology and can jump around making damn accurate shots like Quake players The above-mentioned space elves' emo, bondage obsessed cousins who like to meet interesting people, shoot them a little, then torture them for eternity Highly-advanced space Communists with mecha and god-like firepower that surprisingly uses Combined Arms Warfare more than Imperial Guard Mutant 10ft tall space monsters with lots of teeth to devour you with Daemons with a billion tentacles to rape you with And yes I stoled that from 1d4chan.

Even Spartans couldn't tangle with Chaos Space Marines.
