It should be noted that the Eclipse-class Star Dreadnoughts were equipped with a synthesis of armor plating and shielding that allowed them to ram enemy vessels as well.
In one of the Jedi Academy books. Kyp, Han, and Qui Xux were in the Sun Crusher, and Tol Sivron and his buddies were in the Death Star prototype. They had blown up Kessel's moon and were going to fire on the Sun Crusher.

If you move something past 14% C, weird shit starts happening and you get an incredibly destructive amount of kinetic energy.
Say you toss a kilogram slug at 99.99% C, that's going to come out to roughly 1.5 gigatons. It would be easy to accomplish with SW tech. Imagine a rapid fire cannon shooting one of those slugs. Imagine hundreds of them.
You would want it to flatten on impact of course, otherwise it would just punch right through and keep moving.
But think of how cheap such a weapon would be to supply?
It should be noted I've never taken a physics class in my life. I think I've spent far to much time checking out physics books from the library and reading online articles.
I always just figured it was their shielding technology that made slugs useless. Their wacky tech probably disintegrates any matter throw at it regardless of our understanding of physics.

I'll preface this with saying I don't have intricate knowledge of every weapon listed. But I haven't seen a power listed that Centerpoint can't trump. At full potential, it should be able to ravage entire solar systems in single gravitic strikes. I suppose the Sun Crusher is similar, but would take longer to operate on a galaxy-wide scale.
Honestly I would say for effectiveness for a war the Star Forge because with just that you can build everything else on the world ending or star ending list as well as entire fleets provided you have the know-how to build them. As with the death stars individual superweapons don't do shit unless supported with enough craft to cover their vulnerabilities though with the Deathstar 1 you would think with the capability to destroy a planet that it would have a shield over the exhaust port strong enough to block photon torpedoes -_-.
