ok here's something very simple Spartans are pretty much the best soldiers in the halo universe they're good because the have fancy armour and are genetically and mentally engineered to be amazing soldiers. The empire has an army of them and they don't have to mess about with any ridiculously heavy armour they just use an incredibly light projectile proof synthetic material this army is called almost every stormtrooper (except human veterans). (interesting fact Stormtroopers are not actually the foot soldiers of the empire nor even the marines of the imperial navy)

Banshees wouldn't last a second against a TIE fighter (even though TIE fighters don't have shields or life support because TIE's are about raw speed and damage)

Forerunners beat everything except Precusrors

Covenant=big

Empire=galactic

Republic versus UNSC Republic forces have projectile proof armour and cloning facilities (not to mention better ships or Jedi)

as for the Covenant glassing it's clearly stated that a large number of Imperial star destroyers could pull off what the death star did and the death star does significantly more damage then glassing
