How did they do that?

I think it had hyper-drives.
The question I always wanted an answer for was; what effect would it have on a systems/world's gravity as it moved through space? I mean, the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light (current thought), so as soon as it appeared it would have an impact!

They have gravity generators in the Star Wars universe, so keeping it from affecting the rest of a planetary system would be pretty simple. Of course they probably wouldn't care. It was one giant terror weapon so sudden tides when it comes out of lightspeed would just serve to announce 'You're screwed' that much sooner.
Then again, according to Starship Dimensions, it's a really, really small moon - 120 km across, which makes it significantly smaller than our Moon. There is a way, way more detailed look than anyone would ever want available. In any case even the most generous estimates make it vastly smaller than any celestial body that calls itself a 'moon' even at ten times that size, but it is made of really dense metal but with significant open spaces. It's going to be very massive indeed but probably not enough to cause any sort of gravitational problems.

Bah. Dahak II could take it easily... (Armageddon Inheritance, if I recall correctly.)
