#SUN CRUSHER STAR WARS FULL#

A chance discovery by Han Solo allowed the station's commander, Admiral Daala, to discover the Empire's fall, but Han and his compatriots were able to steal the Sun Crusher before Daala could actually get it mobilized. It was initially kept in the Maw Installation, a secret Imperial facility hidden from the rest of the galaxy, but a communications blackout kept them from learning about the state of affairs until well after the New Republic had formed. The Sun Crusher would be an absolutely horrific weapon of terror in the hands of the Imperials, though fortunately, they never got to use it. With the Sun Crusher being the size of a fighter, tracking it down would be much harder, and with it having nigh-indestructible armor, destroying the superweapon would be an even more arduous task. While both Death StarsВ were capable of annihilating planets, and Starkiller Base used stars as fuel consumption to annihilate entire solar systems of worlds from across the galaxy, their massive size made them huge targets by comparison. The thing that it made so dangerous in comparison was undoubtedly its small size.

It took being thrown directly into a black hole to actually destroy the Sun Crusher. It was also capable of surviving a hit from powerful lasers - when a Death Star prototype fired on the ship, it suffered minimal damage.

These moon-sized space stations were equipped with massive lasers that were capable of atomizing a planet with a single shot, as depicted in A New Hope with the destruction of Alderaan.Д«ut in the Expanded Universe, now referred to as Legends, there existed another superweapon that put the Death Star to shame, one which was responsible for causing vast amounts of destruction that madeВ even Starkiller Base look absolutely paltry in comparison to the amount of destruction it was able to unleash. Star Wars has seen many superweapons, with the most prominent and well known being the Death Stars.
