The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the Alliance starfleet.
(emphasis mine)
Any questions?
I guess this puts a new perspective on X-wing firepower...
Yes, I realize this particular game material is contradictory. It's still fun.

The funny thing is, Dodonna never specified which starfleet he was referring to (at least in the movie).
Damn...

More firepower against the Trekkies that think they meant the entire Imperial starfleet!
Too bad it's not canon.

Games are canon. Game mechanics are discarded because of the limitations of the simulation as are balance issues. But this has nothing to do with game balance.
The problem is that it's contradicted by other sources that make much more sense. Though we could assume that since other sources explicitly mention the superlaser/Imperial starfleet, that the Alliance comparison refers to all the other weapons on the DS.

Who needs this when you have the ICS? If they don't accept that, they sure as hell won't accept this.
