[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6887289, member: 92305"] Starkiller base is really the Death Star Mk IV. It's an improvement of the Galaxy Gun. [CENTER][IMG]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/3/35/Galaxy_Gun_egwt.png/revision/latest?cb=20080506142246[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]THE GALAXY GUN:[/B] A 7,250 meter-long tube-shaped space station built above Byss. It was designed to serve as a superweapon capable of firing large, destructive projectiles equipped with particle disintegrator warheads capable of destroying an entire planet. It was also equipped with hyperdrive and sublight thrusters.

The next step had to be: Combine the Galaxy Gun technology on a world and have it fire at multiple targets all at once--a weapon that can take out an entire solar system anywhere in the galaxy.
