与许多人认为的不同,实际上死星并不是“标准”的爆星武器,它的实际效能远超于此

首先是死星主炮可以摧毁任何“目标”的设定

——出自《星球大战:死星完全图解》
看起来像个口嗨,但注意上文说的是“行星”,如果将下文的“目标”替换理解成“行星”的话显然就合理的多

——出自《星球大战:死星完全图解》
死星主炮将整颗行星化为夹杂着碎片的宇宙尘埃

——出自《星球大战:死星》
死星主炮可以蒸发一颗行星
死星主炮甚至还有更夸张的描述:
The superlaser was composed of several exotic matter beams accelerated and amplified by gigantic focusing magnetic lenses and coils, producing a single powerful beam. Unlike turbolasers, it pulled energy from a massive hypermatter core, converting the energy present in hyperspace into highly unstable particles that were tremendously destructive in normal space. The energy delivered into a target was so great that it could cause the target's atoms to split into matter/antimatter pairs and annihilate themselves, creating hundreds of miniature singularities while generating a powerful surge capable of rupturing the barrier between normal space and hyperspace.
——引用自WP
死星主炮的威力可能导致目标的原子分裂成物质/反物质并自行湮灭,产生数百个微型黑洞,同时产生强大的浪涌,能够打破正常空间和超空间之间的屏障(撕开时空连续体)
另外通过计算星战4中奥德朗碎片飞出的动能,死星主炮甚至可以达到百万倍爆星的能力

以上都是没有考虑奥德朗具备的行星护盾强度的论述
