Superweapons and technological marvels of the reconstituted Sith Empire

In this thread, all superweapons and technological marvels of the reconstituted Sith Empire shall be mentioned.

Superweapons:-

- The Desolator

Modified Harrower-class flagship, capable of destroying entire worlds with a single shot.

- The Silencer

Modified Harrower-class flagship, capable of destroying entire fleets quickly.

Technological marvels:-

- Ascendant Spear (Super-destroyer, capable of one-shotting other cruisers; incredibly fast)

- Undying (Super-destroyer; mysterious capabilities)

- Emperor's shadow (Lightspeed canon; capable of eliminating targets in hyperspace)

- Gauntlet (Super cloaking device)

Super manufacturing facilities:-

- Sun Razer

Based on the concept of Star Forge, this special weapons manufacturing facility could produce technological marvels and superweapons in a short period of time (1 year tops). Otherwise, same technological marvels and superweapons would take decades to complete.

The first one is alright but the problem is that it probably wouldn't hold up against planetary shields and besides the weapon itself the ship was pretty much normal. It also causes a chain reaction rather then pure power.

Are there any calculations for the Megalaser? Yes destroying fleets of ships from their time is impressive, but to give you an idea of how powerful PT Republic was the Acclamator Star destroyer-I has a shield that requires 60 teratons to take it down. To give you an idea how much power is 60 Teratons the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs was 100 Teratons.

The only thing the AS ship has is that it has a hyperdrive equal to the Millennium Falcon. Other then that it's a normal warship that as far as I've seen has no calculations for it.

Might be cool.

Turbolasers and Laser cannons from X-wings in the Incredible cross-sections shoot Lightspeed projectiles. The bolt we see in the films are merely a tracer.

I can't find anything about that one.

Finally, the Sun Razers are IMO what really hit the old Sith Empire hard. In the modern SW setting such as the PT and OT the Empire amongst other factions no longer rely on Fusion mechanisms for their bigger stuff. They use Hypermatter which is basically zero-point energy harvested from Hyperspace. ZPE is the most efficient and best power source in theory, basically a teacup of it can essentially boil all the oceans on Earth. The energy requirments for that are insane. The Empire uses this stuff for their ships on much bigger installations. The first Death Star's reactor was equal to the power output of hundreds of Super Giant Stars as stated in the Complete cross-sections. Hypermatter is so powerful that in the DS Novel it's stated that even Matter/Anti-Matter Annihalation reactors power outputs are nothing to Hypermatter reactors, and have essentially turned Matter/Anti-Matter reactors statuses into old furnaces. Fusion is way below that, the fact that the Sith Empire rely on a Star's power means they use fusion for their technology, and not really that much of an advanced level since it's only some of the energy. The Empire alone had over a million warships under their belt, 25,000 of those Imperial Star Destroyers.

The only thing the AS ship has is that it has a hyperdrive equal to the Millennium Falcon. Other then that it's a normal warship that as far as I've seen has no calculations for it.

The ability to get a big warship where you want when you want it is pretty darn helpful. Most ships at the time were probably using class 2, class 4, or similar hyperdrives.

Fusion is way below that, the fact that the Sith Empire rely on a Star's power means they use fusion for their technology, and not really that much of an advanced level since it's only some of the energy.

You're overlooking something. The *amount* of fusion of a star means it's outputting vastly more than a smaller hypermatter reactor. It doesn't say anything about their main ship's drives, being able to tap into a star is still super-useful.

There are a few other technological marvels that come from or are shown in this period:

Null Cannon - Fired energy blasts that could render enemy technology useless.

Shadow Arsenal - Interplanetary missiles, each armed with a cloaking device and a warhead of continent-shaking power.

Cal-class battleship - A planet-buster warship.

Hammer Station - Its armed with a gravity cannon designed to propel asteroids into planets.

Shock Drum - Generated intense ultrasonic vibrations, which could ultimately shatter a planet.

Death Mark laser - Consisted of an orbital platform that was able to fire highly accurate beams of super-concentrated energy at a specific individual.

Planet Prison - Could supercharge the upper atmosphere of a planet, essentially turning the entire atmosphere into an enormous ion cannon.

Mother Machine - An AI originating from the Rakatans that was capable of genetic manipulation, among other things. Responsible for the creation of numerous species such as the Twi-leks, Rattataki and Zabraks.

Also I think the Gauntlet is the thing that can fire on ships in hyperspace, while the Emperor's Shadow was the cloaking thing.

@Q99 against warships at its level yeah it's impressive. Against ships stronger then you? At best you can do some hit and run tactics, however in the OT and PT most planets had planetary shields and their ships where capable of dealing with Teraton level firepower. As for your other post, my point was that the Sun Razers are considered top-tier tech in the Sith Empire, unless of course I'm mistaken. Since it's them tapping into the power of a star that means anything lower such as warships are using much lower forms of fusion, like nuclear fusion reactors. Also I don't think you understand the ZPE theory. It's basically tons of energy but packed so densely that it doesn't take up much if any space at all. That's what Hypermatter is, so even if the Reactors where small they'd still be putting more energy then most stars. I mean look at the first Death Star, in the complete cross-sections it states that its power output is equal to hundreds of Super Giants. And that thing in diameter is 160 kilometers. That alone shows how much energy they're packing but kept in smaller machines. How big are the reactors? No official size is actually given but pictures showing it does and the reactor is pretty small compared to the rest of the station. And as for say an Imperial Star Destroyer, officially its power output is 7.73e+25 watts. That's 18 Petatons per second. In an hour that Star destroyer would be outputting 66 Exatons. The Executor's reactor power is 7.73e+27, which is 2 Exatons per second. Our Sun is 3.8e+27 watts, which is barely 1 Exaton per second. Normal SD's are around small Stars levels of power, while the SSD's power outputs are equal to our Sun, which is considered a medium sized star. Like I said, since the Sith Empire uses some power from Stars to power their Sun Razers, the majority of their ships probably still use fusion as their main power source which means way less power outputs and being forced to built bigger.

@Q99 against warships at its level yeah it's impressive. Against ships stronger then you?

Yea, but how many ships stronger than it is it going to run into? And even if it does, it can outrun literally everything of the time.

As for your other post, my point was that the Sun Razers are considered top-tier tech in the Sith Empire, unless of course I'm mistaken. Since it's them tapping into the power of a star that means anything lower such as warships are using much lower forms of fusion, like nuclear fusion reactors.

Again, no.

We have nuclear power planets in real life. We also have hydroelectric dams that produce more than nuclear planets because they just handle so *much* water. Even though nuclear can be considered 'higher,' doesn't mean that the biggest power plant of all is nuclear.

Sun Razer have insane quantities of power. Just because the biggest thing uses that method, doesn't mean they don't use other methods for smaller things.

Smaller methods do not scale up to the level the Razer works on.

Also I don't think you understand the ZPE theory.

Hypermatter isn't zeropoint. It's an exotic fuel.

Also ZPE does not necessarily have high output, it's output depends on numerous factors in physics.

That's what Hypermatter is, so even if the Reactors where small they'd still be putting more energy then most stars. I mean look at the first Death Star, in the complete cross-sections it states that its power output is equal to hundreds of Super Giants.

One, the DS reactor was literally the biggest hypermatter reactor ever, made over three thousand years later.

Two, the DS has a power output greater than half the starfleet,

Three, it's talking at per-one-moment output. It's average output is far less- it's only outputting that much for a second or two and it can only do so once every day.

A Sun Razer is drawing energy constantly and will continue working for years and years and years.

And as for say an Imperial Star Destroyer, officially its power output is 7.73e+25 watts. That's 18 Petatons per second. In an hour that Star destroyer would be outputting 66 Exatons.

Supposedly, but actual weapons yields are regularly demonstrated to be massively less. ICS is a fairly iffy source for that reason.

Imperial Star destroyers are at least as strong as the Ship is, besides the 0.5 Hyperdrive I see nothing else that it has an advantage. If we had to do the size equals power method, then it's equal to an ISD.

Yeah, because we're barely understanding fusion now. In the next hundreds of years our understanding would be better for the most part and we will be able to build machines capable of generating much more power from fusion and yield more power then our Dams. The Sun Razer's using some energy from a Sun and making a fleet is impressive, but I'm saying that the ships it produces must also be using Fusion power as well.

Hypermatter in the DS Novel is explained like this: "His nephew, Hora Graneet, had been a navy spacer on the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Mark II class vessel, which had been selected for a shakedown cruise testing one of the improved prototype hypermatter reactors. Tenn didn't know the specifics of what had happened, and didn't have anything close to the math needed to understand it anyway. He knew that hypermatter existed only in hyperspace, that it was composed of tachyonic particles, and that charged tachyons, when constrained by the lower dimensions of realspace, produced near-limitless energy. How this "null-point energy" had become unstable he didn't know. He only knew it had been powerful enough to turn an ISD-2 and its crew of thirty-seven thousand people into floating wisps of ionized gas in a microsecond." They even call it "Null-point" and it's at least similar to how ZPE works.

I know the DS reactor was the biggest Hypermatter reactor made, however it was made after a few decades when the Republic decided to put more research into Hypermatter besides just using it to power Hyperdrives. And even though it's the biggest it's still small yet can produce a huge amount of power. This shows how much power they can pack into small machines yet still produce more energy then other methods. I don't recall the ICS saying that one moment it is equal to hundreds of supergiants, it just said IIRC that the reactor in general is producing that much power.

It's a canon source.
