You can pull out one death star, I can pull out the Phalanx, the Ramillies, the Rock the blackstones and the likes and still laugh, sidente: you want a cock comparison, okay,

Sidenote: The Death Star is the only weapon for the Gal Imp. (according to new timeline, +2x eclipse class ships if we go legends)) to be capable of planetary destruction, now look at the IoM with those lovely cyclonic torpedos, which can be carried at least by cruiser sized vessels (if not frigate size ones and frigates can perform exterminatus with lifeeater)

Aka: you got a worthless slow wanking project versus effectiveness. at least a frigate of the IoM takes more to be killed than a single fighter sized torpedo.

Vader choked a man he was able to see, who was in a 2 way communication with him (direct line of sight--> which is also the problem of directed energy weapons vs ballistic curves)). and just fyi a Pariah next to that dude would have cancelled out vaders choke and made him a useless bitch.

(sidenote: the IoM has every now and then access to psykers that can even move whole asteroids by force of will (as seen in "the serpent beneath")

Source of number= Wookiepedia (Annihilator, Arbitrator, Eclipse, Executor, Ravager), however in the novrl "Aftermath "mentions a total number of 13, however as only ne is in imperial control (others destroyed or taken by pirates (annihilator) and only one in control of the gal imp after the battle of endor

Compare that to the amount of battleships the IoM has available and you can laugh at SW again.

(though if I were you, I#d have gone for the eclipse class and not executioner class)

Size does matter honestly as f.e. it does not matter when it comes to boarding and availability of weapons and when it comes to power. just because your argument is "a trillion times as powerful, which is mroe than a hyperbole), you can only kill a person or destroy a ship once. it matters not wether that force has more power if it is projected and has impacted, most of it is simply added and goes to waste. simple example: as long as your single laser or blaster impulse cannot penetrate multiple targets (which in SW lore does not happen) you waste one shot/person and taking into account stormtrooper rmor not even being proof against sticks and stones (battle of endor) the will have problems with simple auto weapons, let alone lasguns.

You got me on the size of the imp 2, okay, it is as puny as a IoM frigate and has less crew.. their capital ships are the size of auxilliary vessels.. gg
