doing some additional research here: comparing an imperial star destroyer to an imperal navy ship of the line... imperial star destroyers can apperently devestate the surface of a planet in a single day using their conventional weapons. thus the normal weapons of a star destroyer apperentlly have the same firepower as an average exterminatus weapon of the imperium. we note that imperial star destroyers are capable to endure sustained fire from other imperial star destroyers. extending this comparison leads me to the conlusion that any imperial force would have great difficulties fighting against a GC force of equal size. thus it becomes a question of numbers... does the imperial navy have the numbers to overwhelm the massive firepower of the GC navy?

we simply do not know
