Mmkay I'll put this here then.

Dread Masters powers also obliterated entire fleets. Did you forget the Oricon episode?I recall witnessing obliterated pieces of starships around Oricon.
Vitiate's power can be as destructive, if unleashed on a fleet.Now whose making baseless assumptions...
Please provide a single example of a planet whom Sidious completely flattened?This is perhaps the single most destructive Force power known.Single.

Capable of creating annihilating vortices, the storms can swallow whole fleets of spaceships or tear the surfaces off worlds.

Considering Darth Sidious was a master (and the only known master) of this technique and that Luke attributed Sidious with the power to kill worlds, and that he was demonstrated every other aspect mention, this is most likely within his capabilities.
Its also considered the most destructive Force power known...
Emperor Vitiate is the most powerful, and he is followed by Darth Sidious. Shortly after falls Darth Krayt and Darth Caeuds, who are equals. Then we got the following, not in order:
Tulak Hord, Marka Ragnos, Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun, Darth Revan, Darth Malgus, Darth Nox, Emperor's Wrath, Darth Bane, and Darth Vader should all be around the same level.
Sidious has both the hype and feats advantage over any sith. Had he lived in TOR era, he probably wouldn't bother becoming an excellent duelist and just be a sorcerer. However, RoT required him to be good at everything. A Sith with such raw power and knowledge of the force who is also the greatest sith duelist of all times. Besides, he represents the devil in SW Universe and was the big bad of the climax era. Its really hard to top that and it would be inappropriate for another sith to surpass him tbh.
Vitiate's story background is so ridiculously OP that it even made me question Sidious' place at the top for a while when I first read about him. He consistently stomped every jedi and sith that dared to face him. Honestly, other than Sidious, I don't see anyone else who can keep up with his force offense.
Caedus' feats are enough to put him at the top Sith tier.
Plagueis' mastery over the force is incredible and he is confirmed to be an excellent duelist and is => TPM Sidious(who shouldn't be far behind ROTS Sidious) overall.
- Emperor Vitiate: Destruction of Ziost; Domination of Jedi Strike Force; Superior to Dread Masters and Revan; Has power of 8,000 of the most powerful Sith Lords; Textbooks of extreme hype.
- Darth Sidious: Confirmed most powerful Sith Lord in history by many sources; Domination of Jedi Strike Team; Stalemate of Yoda; TK of Dooku; Virtually everything shown in Dark Empire.
- Darth Krayt: Regarded as an equal to Luke Skywalker by some sources; Powerful enough to contend and defeat Abeloth; Ultimate superiority to everyone of his era - including powerful people.
- Darth Caedus: Capable of nearly stalemating Luke Skywalker in a brutal battle; Has knowledge on a large list of ancient powers; Domination of Jedi Strike Team consisting of Kyle Katarn.
I am too lazy to type the rest - that should be good enough, tbh. Ah, and for my list of other people, I forgot Darth Plagueis. I also did not include Darth Nihilus for obvious reasons.
