I beg to differ (well in my own crossover universe at least ;-)

If you follow the logic from sites like that, there is a lot of implied
superiority in Star Wars where it isn't plainly stated but taking a few
statements and combining them, it infers very high tech levels. I ignore them
mostly and try to make each side have the correct feel and then make a fun
battle.

The Sci-Fi Crossover game I'm running at GenCon this August is
'Federation vs Empire?' The famous Federation from Star Trek take on the
Empire, but not the Klingon Empire, its Palpatine's Empire from Star Wars on
the other side of this clash.

Both sessions of Federation and Empire? are already sold out but I will have
the control sheets posted on my website after GenCon. Here are the fleets
involved:

Empire: 1 x Imperial Star Destroyer 4 x Victory Star Destroyers

Federation (TOS Era): 2 x Dreadnoughts 2 x Carriers (old SFB type) 1 x Battle
Tug 5 x Heavy Cruisers 8 x Destroyers
