I agree that Star Trek is on a completely different power scale than Star Wars, but comparing an in-atmosphere flight speed to interplanetary impulse speed is pretty disingenuous. Obviously there are physical factors that limit one of those but not the other.
I know, but it was all I could find on short notice. I did another google and apparently it's something like x 2 for non-atmospheric flights. Star Destroyers are supposedly fast, and can travel at 1500 km/h in space.
Hyperspace is another matter, there they clearly outclass anything the star trek universe has to offer.
