Is there an established method for indicating the size or power output of a reactor? How does one determine the difference between a reactor in a starfighter verses one that powers a super star destroyer?
example: class system (class I, class II, etc) Type system, size... etc?

(Generally) there is a log-log relationship between the volume of the reactor and its power output. There may be other extenuating circumstances such as safety margins, efficiency, and rate of reactant consumption (e.g., Kaz hypothesized that the Nebula-class runs a smaller reactor hotter than the large ISD reactor as the price of financial cost, efficiency, reliability, and safety in order to achieve similar performance).

but there's no established rating or labeling system? right?
