Yeah, what?

Presumably you mean to draw attention to this?

The second Death Star's size ballooned to about 900 kilometers in diameter, far larger than the original, and featured a superlaser of greater power. Not only could this prime weapon deliver a more devastating blast, but it could fire more often and with greater accuracy.

The second Death Star, if completed, would have featured over 30,000 turbolaser batteries, 7,500 laser cannons, 5,000 ion cannons and 768 tractor beams.

The Death Star II always looked like it was grinning to me.

Needs moar RPG statz!

I remember reading a "report" linked to the Wikipedia article for the Death Star, in which the writer claimed the Death Star II CANNOT be 900 kilometers in diameter. (The link has since been removed from Wikipedia.) Now that Lucasfilm has made an official statement to confirm the Death Star II IS 900 motherfucking kilometers in diameter, that'll silence A LOT of Trekkies' arguments against the Galactic Empire's industrial capacity.

Edit: Changed "meters," which is incorrect, to "kilometers."

Sidewinder uses metric ITT.

Costume designers really phoned it in for the prequels.

19 km Executor, and the blurb for Order 66 speaks of "hidden armies". Still utterly insipid, as the problem was how do they fight a galaxy wide war of attrition, but a slow step in the right direction.

So the DS2's been popped up another 100KM. Interesting.

So with a radius of 400KM it had a volume of 268,082,573 cubic KM, a 450KM radius would give it a volume of 381,703,507 cubic KM. That's a 42.3% increase in volume.

Do we have any figures on crew complement?

Also, The Complete Locations gives the same figure.

Well that was insightful. Care to elaborate?

Maybe a more descriptive thread title should be used.

Death Star smaller than an Imperator.

It looks like some kind of a goof, like when Ewan MacGregor wore that goofy helmet while making AOTC.

Who is that supposed to be? An alien or something?

Darth Raptor · Post by **Darth Raptor** » 2008-07-07 12:51pm

One of the Coruscanti barflies from AotC. I highly doubt there's an actual proboscis under there.

By my calculations, thirty thousand turbo-laser batteries equals to one battery for every 85 square kilometres.

^ Of course, we don't know how big a battery is.
