is Darth Sidious a planet buster?
In the book of the sith Darth Sidious states that someday the Death Star will no longer be needed because he will be capable of creating Force Storms large enough to destroy planets. In Dark Empire we see the largest Force Storm he has ever produced, one large enough to eradicate a large fleet. So, do you think, if directed at a planet, this a force Storm would have destroyed a planet?

Wait wat. I don't recall him saying in the Book of Sith his Force storms will one day do that. He's a Moon buster with it though. Forgot which book but Luke says it can destroy the crusts of Planets which is above Moon busting by a small but noticeable margin.

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
Both the implication Force Storm = Death Star and Luke discussing the power of Force Storm occur in the Book of Sith IIRC
Or maybe Luke's was Jedi Path
Either way, Sidious wouldn't have a way of knowing if the mastered Force Storm can actually replicate the power of the Death Star without actually using it and gauging it himself
At the time he wrote the Book of Anger, he'd only mastered Maelstrom.
(N. is arguably a planetbuster, given that he can lift himself and an entire starship out of a gravity well. Give him a petri dish of midichlorians to eat, a small life-pod, and tell him to lift the planet one ship's-worth-of-mass at a time.
He's effectively immortal so he has plenty of time
"The reborn Emperor used this [Force Storm] at Da Soocha [V]. It has the power to kill worlds." -- Luke Skywalker, the Jedi Path, pg. 113
"This is perhaps the single most destructive
Force power known. This power allows the Jedi
to twist the space-time continuum to create vast
storms of force. The power also allows limited control
of these storms. Capable of creating annihilating
vortices, the storms can swallow whole fleets of
spaceships or tear the surfaces off worlds." -- the Dark Empire Sourcebook, pg. 74
DE Sidious is a planet buster.

"Killing" a world and tearing off it's surface doesn't even come close to destroying a planet. Do you not know how absolutely tiny the "surface" of a planet is compared to the rest of it?
