May 30, 2012 · The Death Star's hyperspace motivator units were comprised of linked banks of field generators such as those found aboard Imperial Star Destroyers. One hundred twenty-three individual hyperspace generators, tied into a single navigational matrix, were necessary to carry the Death Star beyond the speed of light. The intense power generated ...

Dec 15, 2015 · The Death Star, also known as the Death Star I, First Death Star, DS-1 platform and previously known as the Ultimate Weapon and Sentinel Base, was a moon-sized deep space mobile battle station constructed by the Galactic Empire after the defeat of the Separatists in the Clone Wars. It boasted a primary weapon with sufficient firepower to ...

Going back to actual physicists, the "That's No Moon" paper makes some claims about the Death Star's power output, citing the 2007 novel Death Star: [T]he death star [sic] had a very large 'hypermatter' reactor, which possessed an output equal to that of several main-sequence stars. Our sun is an example of a main sequence star, and it has an ...

The first Death Star was in construction at the end of Episode III (presumably 19 BBY). The ending shot is this picture, with only small portions of the superstructure completed: 19 years later, the Death Star has only been recently completed (the novel Death Star places the completion about 1 BBY). So we assume it took about 18 years to build ...

The original PDP-11/45 that created the wireframe model of the Death Star is still up and running fully operational (with video of the old-school minicomputer). Out-of-universe, and probably in-universe as well, the plans depict an earlier concept of …

Dec 29, 2016 · Obviously the Death Star must have hyperdrive capability in order to be an effective weapon in a galactic civil war. The only clue as to the Death Star's speed of jumping into hyperspace is Vader's statement. "This day has seen the end of Kenobie and it …

First, the Death Star's defenses were built around the idea of repelling a capital ship attack; starfights were considered "insignificant" by Imperial military strategists. And when the Alliance mounted its assault over Yavin, the Rebels could only …

Oct 4, 2014 · The Death Star's natural gravitational field would be exceedingly weak. The Death Star was described as a "small moon" in Star Wars; Wikipedia lists the first Death Star's diameter as 140 to 160 kilometers. A large moon like ours, 3500km of solid rock, only produces a gravitation field 17% of Earth's at its surface.

Mar 3, 2015 · Then I got a fairly large full Death Star II image and scaled it up proportionally: DS2 = 160km. 250/19 = x/160. x = 160 x 250 / 19 = 2105px. Then I rotated it 90 degrees to get the angle of crash more correct than it would be coming into the top of the Death Star (since during the battle, the main laser was aimed at the fleet battle.

Feb 23, 2018 · The Death Star is 160 km across, or 80 km radius. It is a mixture of air and metal and other substances. If we assume it is roughly as dense as water (as it looks roughly as dense as a ocean going ship, which is roughly as dense as water), it weighs roughly 2 * 10^18 kg.
