But this event occurred much earlier in Vitiate's story. He had significantly grown in power since then.
That is Hand's interpretation and only a part of the holistic setback that Vitiate suffered.
This happened first:
You've learned that the Emperor is on Dromund Kaas, temporarily weakened by your efforts thwarting his plan for galactic annihilation. Striking at him now is your best chance to defeat him once and for all.
Taken from Star Wars: The Old Republic: Game
What are you trying to assert?
Energy siphoned from the subjects goes into slowing down the decay process of the body and fueling the power of the wielder.
Because the word of the Emperor's most trusted servant is to be questioned.
The fact is death results in a significant loss of power.Isn't it obvious? The more targets drained the more power required, the less targets drained the less power required.
No power threatens the space itself because space is humongous and have no visible boundaries.
Now here is a realistic assessment:
In a last-minute reversal, a dark side Force storm intended to obliterate the New Republic headquarters consumed the Emperor instead - leaving the Dark Empire leaderless.
You've lost total track of the point. I was validating that it is a fact that upon death, you lose power, hence the death of Sidious would have come at a loss of power.Because it invalidates the statement you made:
You've just admitted they are absolutely relevant, refuting your argument against my calculations, they therefore stand.
Palpatine can perform the Byss feat to two thousand times the potency on Ziost. That's how we get there.It was just a Voice though, as I said to Legend, the death of Sidious' actual body would magnify the effect tenfold.

As I have already said to Legend, the mechanics of Vitiate's power are irrelevant, all that is important is that Sidious could replicate this feat by magnfying the Byss feat two thousand fold, Sidious was not conjuring a death field, he was targeting and siphoning the will of planet's life forms individually. So in his case, numbers are very much relevant. However I am not entirely sure in terms of Vitiate we are dealing with a explosion of energy here, but just the visual effects of Vitiate targeting and completely draining everything on the planet.
Vitiate's Force Drain feats on Ziost are the most destructive and complex on record yet. Vitiate unleashed a tsunami of destructive energy across the planet Ziost, in which the entire populace was caught and consumed. Numbers are irrelevant. And more importantly, this power is absolutely different from the application of Drain Life Essence.
You are comparing apples and oranges.
What is so hard to understand about Vitiate's power?
Vitiate unleashed a massive wave of energy that engulfed the entire planet and any living being caught within it was consumed. This is what the visuals depict and this is very different from Draining Life Essence.

Well at least you accept that Palpatine could replicate the Force drain aspect.
The visuals depict Vitiate draining the life energy of every living thing on Byss, seeing as this was his intention and that causing damage to the planet and its structures served on purpose, I'd assume that it was a mere side effect of this outburst Force draining of power.
Therefore if Sidious were to perform such a level of drain (as I have proven him capable) we'd assume it result in a similar destructive outburst.
I am sorry but nothing indicates that Sidious have mastered Force Drain talents to the degree that Vitiate have. Raw power is one factor and command of the applications is another factor; both collectively define ability to manipulate the Force.
B/W Vitiate's power produced shockwaves that shook even the space stations orbiting the planet.

Neph never got back to me on why the sourcebook that said that is subjective, so perhaps you can.Well on Nathema the buildings appeared to be intact... at least as I remember it.
