Anyone done the math on how big a Death Star built to the same scale as small base ships would be? And if so, how many 4 straights would an X-Wing have to do to complete the trench run? And say it ends up being like 20 turns, is there any chance in the galaxy Vaded doesn't kill them all before they get in range of the exhaust port considering he can just focus and lock on every turn?

well the DS1 was 160km across, or 524,934 feet

at 1:270 scale that would be 1944.2 feet.

as far as the trench run though, i don't think we ever were given a specific distance for the trench run itself. it is implied the Meridian Trench it took place in ran the whole hemisphere, but it is clear the actual run was only a small part of the trench's total distance.

Perfect. Next question.

How many Attack Dice does it have??

2 per turbolaser. May not modify dice against small base ships (after all, “they’re so small they’re evading our turbolasers”)

How many turbolasers do we give it?

Tricky. But I meant the main gun. Heck, we'll go with a single reactor ignition, if you prefer.

I believe this was WEG's take on it:

The first Death Star is depicted in various sources of having a crew of 265,675, as well as 52,276 gunners, 607,360 troops, 30,984 stormtroopers, 42,782 ship support staff, and 180,216 pilots and support crew. ^[21] Its hangars contain assault shuttles, blastboats, Strike cruisers, land vehicles, support ships, and 7,293 TIE fighters . ^[22] It is also protected by 10,000 turbolaser batteries , 2,600 ion cannons , and at least 768 tractor beam projectors.

per wookieepedia (canon article):

Hmm, in Jedi, they one-shot Mon Cal cruisers with reduced power shots from the Death Star. In Rogue One a single reactor ignition damaged hundreds of square kilometers to planetary targets. If we say a cruiser has roughly ten times the durability of a corvette or around 250 total points of hull and shield, it is probably conservative to say a single reactor is rolling about 1000 reds. Also just roughly guessing how many reactors to nearly instantly vaporize the whole planet to be about 10, we give the Death Star super laser something like this:

Charges = 10 (standard recharge of 1 charge per round)

Main Gun (Attack Target Lock): You may spend any number or charges to Attack one object you have locked. Roll 1000 attack dice per charge spent.

So, then, all you need is $2,600 worth of supplemental dice packs.

I have no idea what you do with all the greens. . .

Roll blanks. Why what do you do with greens?

per canon, the Death Star 1's superlaser had eight Khyber Crystal Reactors, each with at its heart a giant Khyber Crystal. these reactors required energy from the DS1's core reactor to initiate however.

I'm positive you weren't negative.

Just to keep things current.

I think we just needed an outlet for all this.

Things have been kinda static for a while.
