The Rakata only controlled 500 planets at their height. The Empire had over a million member planets. They just have too much nurmerical supeority.
A fleet of world devastators could out produce the star forge.
Notice how the six hundred year old Dreadnoughts have more firepower than the Rakata flagship. How the Imperial Star Destroyer can produce more energy in its reactor than a star.(Therefore, you could say that each Imprial Star Ddestroyer is better than the Star Forge.
Also, proton torpedos hadn't been invented yet. They had proton bombs, but the were over two meter s wide and thus would be unable to destroy the death star.
Would you really think the Rakatas would pass up the opportunity with Proton Missles? No. They would start to use them the first time they see them in action. And it's quality over quanity. For every Rakata Warrior who die, they could probably take down 10,000 of those people. Why? First, they use the force, and if nobody noticed, you can reflect blaster bolts with the force and you don't need a lightsaber to do it. Second, they were actually trained. And it was in their nature to fight, so that gives them another advantage.
And they wouldn't be stupid, so if they see a gigantic gun in thwe distance, their going to destroy it. So that leaves out the Sun Crusher, the Death Star, and all the other superweapons.
