How many PKs are in Star Wars? So far I know...

Death Star
Galaxy Gun
Sun Crusher

Anyone care to list any more? Star Wars sure isn't a place I'd like to live in..

Centrepoint Station (can cause a supernova in distant star systems). That's only counting PK's which actually blow a planet or star up. PK's which kill everyone on the surface are almost innumerably common.

Darksaber...although it's the same as the DS's superlaser.

What about the Tarkin and all the World Devastators?

Oh yeah, so that's:

Death Star
Death Star 2
Galaxy Gun
World Devastators
Suncrusher
Tarkin
Darksabre
Centrepoint Station
Ancient Sith Lords (once destroyed a star system)

Of course, if we use the B5 definition of "planet-killer", it's everything from an ISD up.

Plus approx. 25.000 ISD, several SSDs...all capable of a BDZ.

Or the Emperor's Force-storm.

When did he blow up a planet with that????? i though the best he could do was swallow the Eclipse (havn't read Dark Empire in ages)

Wasn't there a ship The Eye of Palpantine or something? It was in one of those forgettable books.

I thought the Eye was basically a suped up Torpedo Sphere?

And his Force Storm ws capable of swallowing a large part of the Alliance Fleet before destroying the Eclipse.

So it could be used similar to an ISD...possibly more but who knows.

It was in a book that was written by (I think) KJA. It was an imperial battlemoon that was supposed to wipe out a jedi enclave on a planet whose name eludes me at this time but as to weather it was going to destroy the entire planet or just take out the jedi?? I have no idea

Found it: Children of the Jedi by Barbara Hambly. Now I remember why I forgot it, namely it was crap! I don't think that the Eye was even a hyped up torpedo sphere, it wasn't even capable of destroying the planet

Disregard.

Correction: Anything with heavier armaments than an Acclamator, as they're capable of BDZ too. (despite being mere troop transports!)

Since when do we lower ourselves to the point of using Fivers as a standard?

Barbra Hambly actually. She went on to write probably the worst Star Wars book to date, Planet of Twilight. Which rounded up the trilogy starting with Children of the Jedi, then Darksabre, and finally dying with Planet of Twilight. Talk about a snooze fest. Back to the point, it was the Eye of Palpatine. Basically a large troop carrier. Instead of loading an assload of troops at one location, it was going to jump from planet to planet and pick up small amounts. (God, how can I remember this shit. I read it once years ago and didn't even like it then.). Either way, Luke and C3PO were stuck on the damn thing with two other Jedi. Thanks to it's captured crew of Gamorean Guards, Jawas, and Tusken Raiders, things were royally fucked up. Many other species were showing up as well. Luke spent most of the story fucked up. The mission was to go to a planet of hidden children, hence Children of the Jedi, unload the troops and kill the padawans. However, thanks to a duo of Jedi, it was stopped cold. Only to be reactivated. This book sucks. The only other thing you need to know, is that some lady had a chip implanted into her son's head so he can control droids with the Force and her plans were for him to become the new Emperor. It gets brought up again in the NJO books by Allston.

There was an ancient (Golden Age of the Sith KJA stuff, IIRC) ship which was a huge massdriver that fired asteroids at planets/ships. Capable of planetkilling by the B5 sense of the term.
