We can clearly witness the destructive effects of both contexts, and they're pretty far different - one vaporizes the entire star destroyer and the other just looks causes a lot of wreckage. Trying to equate it to the former doesn't align with what actually happens.
You must be incapable of reading. The wreckage is what is left over. Vaylin absorbed the worst of the explosion with the Force.

So do you think she shielded the two specifically, which wouldn’t account for the environmental damage, or that she contained the entire blast?

She must've contained the blast with the Force, some kind of Force bubble. So whilst the wreckage of the ship wasn't contained, the actual energy of the hyperdrive exploding was. And we know that's exactly what happened, the hyperdrive itself exploded; not merely the ship.
So Vaylin’s barrier wasn’t powerful enough to stop all of the effects - it only stopped part of it, given that the wreckage itself comes from the explosion. If she contained the entire thing there wouldn’t have been an exploding ship.
AP is correct.
A: the wreckage was not caused by the explosion, but by Vaylin TK’ing all the ships/shuttles and slaughtering all the Knights prior to Senya’s arrival
With the rising flames, Senya finally witnessed the true carnage Vaylin had unleashed on the camp: dozens of Knights – bodies mutilated and mangled – had been tossed haphazardly amongst the scattered wreckage of ships and shuttles torn asunder. The full breadth of the slaughter sent a chill down her back; grim evidence of the horrors her daughter was capable of.
B: We’re told sentences later that Vaylin shielded the blast itself with the force
She knew her daughter was still alive; on some level Senya would have sensed her death. But even shielded by the Force, the blast would have been strong enough to leave Vaylin disoriented and weakened. Vulnerable and fearing for her life, she might have fled.

Well actually what do you mean by wreckage, the wreckage of the ship that had the damaged hyperdrive, or the total wreckage? Because if it’s the former, I’m not sure it really matters if the potency of the hyperdrive explosion is consistent with what zen posted on the last page.
Again....my post was just showing what hypermatter does, I'm not saying that the hyperdrive explosion = to the Battle Lance explosion.
"She knew her daughter was still alive; on some level Senya would have sensed her death. But even shielded by the Force, the blast would have been strong enough to leave Vaylin disoriented and weakened. Vulnerable and fearing for her life, she might have fled."
Are you really attempting to claim that the bolded text is referencing that the blast was "shielded" rather than Vaylin...

I get what you're saying, but does it really make sense for it to say the blast was shielded if it meant that it was being encased in a barrier? Seems like it's more likely referring to Vaylin shielding herself otherwise; it would have been phrased differently, Vaylin wouldn't have been mentioned prior to the blast, and it wouldn't have directly referenced that despite ____ being "shielded/protected" VAYLIN still suffered certain effects ( I.E. she's the subject of the quote ).
*Shrug*
That's just my take on it. Not saying your interpretation is invalid, I just find it to be less likely then the obvious alternative.
