In any fight between star trek and star wars, you need to use the force in general to balance out the advanced technology (in some ways) of star trek. Without the force being invoked, the advantage (usually) of the star trek fleets would prevail.

But there are exceptions and while Picard is a highly decorated commander and has captained a star ship and fought in many wars, Thrawn is a whole different kettle of fish. I was not joking above when I said Thrawn could win with a handful of Tie's alone. Heck, I wouldn't put it past him to win with just one, or to be dropped on the enterprise naked and end up taking over the whole ship.

Thrawn is a genius, he could probably beat Picard and the whole crew of the enterprise if he was born on earth with todays technology and the enterprise decided to take over the world. Would a star destoyer normally win against the enterprise? Maybe not, but thrawn would figure a way to jump the star destroyer forward into lightspeed directly INTO the enterprise destroying both ships and evacuating his ship first, or something like that (not saying that would work specifically, just that he would use such tactics and FIND a way to win). Picard would not be willing to do what he needed to do even if he could think up a method like that. Thrawn is ruthless, imaginative, and extremely skilled and unless he was put in a position where there was ABSOLUTELY no way to win, I believe he would still win. They basically put Kirk up on a pedestal and made him able to do the impossible (much more then they ever did with Picard who they tried to make more human), but even Kirk wouldn't have a chance against Thrawn.

I ain't saying a destroyer would always win against the enterprise, or even usually, but if Thrawn was in command, they enterprise loses....end of story....unless maybe Picard can use his semi-friendship with Q to his advantage.
