How did they do that?

[mojo1701]

From what I remember reading somewhere, it had hyperdrive generators on its "equator."

They just had a stormtrooper get out and push.

From what I remember reading somewhere, it had hyperdrive generators on its "equator."

And sublight drives, so that explains how it moves in system.

I'm not sure at all why players would get at all angry for using technology(or magic, in the case of D&D) that's extremely prevalent. Honestly not sure what you're trying to get at with this...

Yeah, it has a hyperdrive. As mentioned, near the equator

Bear in mind, it's big, but it's not that big. According to the WEG SWRPG "Death Star Technical Companion" it's only 120 km in diameter
