or you mean the star wars, where your baseline star destroyer is smaller than an imperial frigate and has less crew?

or you mean the star wars, where destroying a planet is a thing of wonder done by a moon-sized station in comparison to basiccally every frigate in the IoM that has capital ship sized torpedo launchers?

but pray, tell us how the IoM with it's whole economy bent on supplying the military complex, churning out regiments at a staggeing pace just to counter the millionbs of daily losses incurred all over the galaxy is comparable to the SW iumperium which at their height did not even have a fraction of the troops.

oh and if we wanna talk about prehistoric technology: wanna know the hardcounter to he SW military? np: it is called  a hill, because they lack somehting as basic as weapon systems working with a ballistic rajectory, meaning they can be shelled from dozens of kilimeters away whilst they can only engage with line of sight dictated by relief and planetery dimensions (horizon)

oh and funnily enough, should we really get into the rather common use of battlefield psykers  versus how few force adapts are ever around in SW compared to millions of them for the IoM?

and funny that you mention hyperdrives, because if you put SW and 40k into the same universe, the first ship that jumps top hyperspace (or the warp, as f.e. wookiepedia calls it) would find itself assailed by warp entities merely becoming an infested hulk I see this point brought up enough. How can Stormtrooper armor be effective in any enviroment, and take blaster bolts that range in the megajoules, but not rocks? I recall that in a comic protestors threw rocks at stormtroopers, but they bounced off and did nothing. So how did this work? Either the ewoks rocks were crazy strong(its on another planet ffs), or the force was helping them out.

A Star Destroyer is smaller, fair enough. It also has enough power to scour an entire planet. They also have fleets of fighters and vehicles. Smaller size will be an advantage here, outmaneuvering will be easy. One of the critical issues with 40k thrusters is maneuverability. So, size isn't everything.

Here is where you are wrong. The IOM is about 1 million planets right? The GE controls tens of millions, some say even billions of planets. Hundred quadrillions of sentients live in the SW galaxy. Most estimates put the number of soldiers in the GE in the tens of Quadrillions.

That isn't true either. Their are sensors and a plethora of other things for targetting enemies.

I really don't think Pysker powers will work on things from another verse, people established that in this very thread.

What do you mean by that? SW can't use the warp, and 40k can't use hyperspace. Hyperspace is safer, and more efficient. Warp takes alot longer to use properly, meaning it isn't always good for quick retreats. If it isn't done right, the ship ends up getting attacked.
