Forget the Death Star. The First Order (which arose out of the remains of the Galactic Empire) has a much more powerful weapon.

“The loose planets with opposite intrinsic velocities used in the Lensman series to destroy a planet.”

Nice reference, loved those books.

I thought the Last Starfighter’s Death Blossom was pretty cool, but yours even beats the Death Star, which could only destroy one planet at a time.

Mantrid Drones. Self-replicating robots that convert the mass of the universe into copies of themselves.

The color bomb from Star of the Guardians. It tears quarks apart. The results are bad.

By far the Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator!

I dunno. Where's the Kaboom? Wasn't there supposed to be an earth-shattering Kaboom?

The Doomsday Machine in the original Star Trek! The hull was constructed from neutron stars (totally impenetrable), it fired a pure anti-proton beam that chopped up planets and ate the rubble as fuel.

Well, back to the old drawing board. :)

Alright I’ll one up you, a Xeelee Starbreaker can make a star go nova...and it’s a pistol!

Also the humans of that universe throw around neutron stars like giant cannonballs.

I think the Evermind (Omnius) has he highest body count in Sci-fi. He/it with Erasmus and the Titan's killed quadrillions of humans in the Dune prequel series.

I also think that Azimovs foundation series mentions hundreds of quadrillion killed by the fall of the galaxy whose population was in the quintillions. Forgot which book.
