Could a Galaxy-class ship defeat an Imperial Star Destroyer?

Raw firepower favors the Star Destroyer, but maneuverability and transporter-assisted precision give the Galaxy class an asymmetric route to victory.

Question

Who would win between a Galaxy-class ship and an Imperial Star Destroyer?

Short answer

The Star Destroyer has more powerful weapons, but the Galaxy class could win through maneuverability and a precisely transported photon torpedo.

Notes

Weapon power and the ability to place damage where it matters are separate advantages. The Imperial Star Destroyer has the heavier weapons, while the Galaxy class has superior maneuverability and transporter technology. A photon torpedo delivered to a critical internal location could outweigh a larger but less precisely placed explosion. Delivery, access, and vulnerability matter as much as raw weapon energy in this cross-franchise scenario.
