Cool, but the Death Star actually completely destroys the planet, whereas Cyclonic Torpedoes just ravage the planet's crust. Needless to say, the former is more powerful.

Well there you go, you've given me even more points. The Eclipse-class, as well as the Sovereign-class.

It also takes a lot more than a single fighter-sized torpedo to blow up the Death Star. It took the Force to actually make the shot land, and on top of that, the tractor beams had been disabled. If they hadn't been, the fighters would've just been yanked into the Death Star's surface.

Vader doesn't need to see his targets - he simply needs to be aware of their presence and location. But like I said, I already rescinded my statement about Vader vs Emps.

That's thirteen Executors, and then fleets upon fleets of Imperial-I and II Star Destroyers, Interdictors, Vindicators, Pickets, several Eclipses and Sovereigns...

A trillion times is not even a hyperbole. Make the calculation. 50 Teratons is 1.000.000.000.000 (= 1 trillion) times more powerful than 50 (a fair average) Kilotons. Direct all that at, times 91 (that's the total amount of barrels on an Imperial-I), every five seconds, and your 5 km long Lunar is a fried heap of metal. That much power doesn't even allow time for a boarding action.

"Puny" in the sense that it packs more of a punch than a Battlecruiser? Okay.
