Planetary destruction: Death Star blast (roughly 20 billion trillion megatons, ie- the number "two" followed by 22 zeroes). Planet blown apart at 5% of the speed of light. Even if we assume the shot was time-lapse photography (not that there's any reason to), the absolute lower limit is roughly 50 quadrillion megatons. Note that even if you scale this monster down by a factor of 10 million (to the volume of a Star Destroyer), you'd still have 5 billion megatons. More than a match for poor Enterprise.

20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Thats the power in megatons but to make it so much easyier to say it would be 20 Wekatons.
20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Megatons
20,000,000,000,000,000,000 Gigatons
20,000,000,000,000,000 Petatons
20,000,000,000,000 Exaton
20,000,000,000 Zettatons
20,000,000 Yottatons
20,000 Xonatons
20 Wekatons

^^So the power of the Death Star is all of thease^^

Awww, but wekatons sounds like it comes from some loopy moon-man language; I was getting all excited at the prospect of using it.

It would be something to impress the people around you (Or at least make them wonder what the hell you're talking about).

For example, my microwave uses up .000000000000000000000001 wekawatts.

Moonanites laugh at your Earth language and your useless third dimension.

But really, it's the "billion trillion" part that draws the most attention.

Actually, it's energy, not power
