Depends how fast the Death Star can traverse. It’s built for attacking stationary targets.
Planets move at like 100,000km/h so maybe not so stationary targets.
Everything is stationary when velocity is matched. The main issue is a Cube can change its velocity whereas a planet cannot.
Alright but the Deathstar is still an interplanetary craft that catches up to a planet.
Stationary relative to the station itself.
When it is in orbit around a planet, there’s little to no net speed differential.
My mistake I was unaware that they have to build a new deathstar for every planet.
Deathstar takes first blood very easily, but that would never work twice.
This! Yea the death star could annihilate a cube, but there’s only 1 death star, vs. 20,000 cubes
Somehow the deathstar will returm
The Death Star also has a pretty lengthy power-up sequence before it can fire. Good for stationary objects like planets, not stuff that can move at the speeds of a borg cube.
