   "Combat range: in ROTJ, combat initially occurs at ranges of a few   
   thousands kilometers, eventually closing to a few hundred kilometres   
   ("point blank" according to Lando) until Rebel ships are within a few   
   dozen kilometres of the Executor."   
      
      
   Main guns: 64000 GW (2 kilotons per shot, 480 rpm firing rate onscreen   
   in AOTC for time-averaged power output rather than peak output)   
      
      
   vs.   
      
   "Combat range: fleet actions in DS9 uniformly feature engagements at   
   ranges of 5 km or less, just as they do in TNG's Klingon wars or Borg   
   engagements. In "The Die is Cast", Sisko actually orders the Defiant   
   to approach to 500 metres (while taking fire) before shooting at a   
   Jem'Hadar attack ship, presumably due to some disadvantage incurred at   
   longer range. The only long-ranged incidents involve stationary or   
   near-stationary targets."   
      
   Main phasers: 3.6 GW   
      
   (http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/)   
      
      
   Clearly, SW could hammer ST ships at nearly twice the fiirepower for   
   longer than ST ships could return fire.
