So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

Like no one wipes out planets not because they CAN’T in Trek, but because they also want to use those planets. Like the Borg wipe out a planet, and the Romulans try to blame the Federation for it.

Why would the Falcon even be fighting the Enterprise?

The Enterprise is, first and foremost, a scientific and diplomatic ship. It has significant defensive capabilities, in line with its mission: “to seek out new life, to discover new planets, and to boldly go where no man has gone before.” They might find friendly aliens. They might find a bunch of uninhabited planets. They might find something that thinks the Enterprise would be a tasty snack. It’s good to be prepared for all those possibilities.

Meanwhile, the Falcon’s entire thing is “don’t be caught.” It wouldn’t want to engage with the Enterprise, and if it did, it would be on an emergency basis where the Falcon needed help. They wouldn’t be fighting, they’d be saying “hi, our warp reactor sprang an unobtainium leak in the Z29 sector and we don’t have the macguffinite to fix it, can we like, borrow one of your repair bays and trade you some credits to get materials?”

The only reason the Enterprise would have to say “no” is if they realized the Falcon was a smuggling ship. And if that happened, one of two outcomes would occur:

1) Kirk would have to let them go because the Empire isn’t part of the Federation and has no treaties with the Federation that would give Kirk the authority to detain the Falcon, or

2) Kirk would be like “well listen the Federation isn’t allowed to take sides in this conflict because we don’t admit warring planets, but we are allowed to drop stranded travelers off at space ports, and if your repairs should happen to take all the time between here and Tattooine where you just happen to need to drop this princess who’s fighting the space Nazis, well, we’re just making sure some people in a conflict we know nothing about get home safely.” And then he’d set course.

And frankly, even if the Enterprise were to encounter the Empire after this, I’m pretty sure they’d be able to be like “we were just coming through to get around Romulan airspace and assisted some civilians. We don’t take sides in conflicts and if you’ll excuse us, we’re actually on our way to Rikkitikkitavi VIII to send one of our crew home for his biologically-mandated fornication.” Because even if that pissed off the Empire, as noted above, the Enterprise has planet-destroying capabilities. The Empire is hamstrung.
