Death Star Vs. Star Forge

Well, let me remind you, there was a gaping hole in the side of the 2nd Death Star.

Never mind... Turns out the DS can:
"It also carried assault shuttles, Skipray Blastboats, strike cruisers, drop ships, land vehicles, and support ships as well as 7,200 TIE fighters. For surface protection it sported 200 Turbolaser batteries, 2,500 ion cannons and at least 700 tractor beam projectors, plus, of course, the superlaser. Even without the primary weapon, the Death Star carried enough troops and ships to occupy an entire star system by force."
WIKIPEDIA

First we need to know which Death Star this is, since there were five in all; seven if we include the Tarkin and the Darksaber.

This is partially true, assuming it's for the DS2. (I have no clue where 200 turbolasers came from though) The problem is that it is for the unscaled version of the Death Star Two. When using a reference from the movie(therefor higher level of canon, we can see the stats you state are a little low.

If the Death Star had been completed and filled to capacity, it would have looked more like the following:

Note: This assumes a direct scale-up by mass. Numbers for Ion canons, turbolasers, and Tractor Beams are several times larger than actual.

Skipray Blastboats: ~3,000,000
Tie Fighters: 10,581,840
Capital Ships: 5,876
Ion Canons: 3,672,500
Turbolasers: ~13,000,000

I think we've all settled that the Death Star could sufficiently whoop the SF. All we're doing now is arguing sources and canon, and in all honesty, that bores the shit out of me.

Then just don't look at this thread.
