Why does the only picture on the wiki page have a Victory SD possibly firing on an asteroid? Are Wookiepedia's standards that low and does Sci Fi Fan not read what he posts as evidence?
Does Sci Fi Fan know that no less then three Star Destroyers are suppose to take part in a BDZ?

Lucas gave some quotes that point to him not considering the EU as his star wars
Picard it would be best if you just except the EU/C/S-canon, and provide evidence that is from G and T canon level as they are not the EU
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: How? Where's your proof?
Picard I think you need to show your work a little better. Posting the scalings and calculations on your blog , and then always posting a link would go a long way. In other words: Show your work, and then people will know what you are talking about.
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: And where's your proof of this? A breen bombardment fleet cause about 8 million casualties...if they have 600 megaton weapons they could have caused far, far more.
Well if you ignore the fact that trek planets specifically the UFP are shown to have shields that cover entire planets. The results of the breen attack is evidence Earth has such a shield system. If the Earth did not have such a shield system then a single torpedo in the kiloton range would have leveled the cities they hit.
The only other option is the UFP/Earth uses such durable materials to build every thing they can take kiloton nukes with only minor damage.
You can see why the shield option is the more sane option.

However, there are many sources in which cities are literally the size of continents, so their "small town" will probably actually be larger than New York City; in fact, their small towns might be on par with small states. Such puts the HTL yield in the gigatons. Hah.
The book was writen with us modern Earthling in mind. We should expect a small town to be what a real world small town is.
If we assume that a Star Wars small town is not compellable to a RL small town then it could be any size. <Sarcastic>Let's say that the town/village that was shown in Jedi Crash/Defenders of the Peace is a standard small town. It could possibly be vaporized by less then a kiloton.</Sarcastic>
We see Mos something or other in A New Hope. that would be a good example of a small town in Star Wars even if it was possibly the biggest city on the planet.
In the final episode of the Malevolence trilogy we find out that normally Venorators just fire all their guns at a target implying that there is not much difference between light, medium and heavy guns.
Down fall of a droid certainly rules out gigaton level fire power as I understand it. I seem to recall the episode implying less then 1 point something megatons.
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: 1. At full power it apparently does, but cannot sustain rapid fire.
I've heard this before. Where does it come from, and is this a stated ability of Slave-I in the ICS?
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: 2. Which you still haven't proven.
Down fall of a droid would beg to differ, and since Sci Fi Fan is claiming the ICS do not conflict with G and T canon doesn't he/she need to prove this?
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: 1. The officer being afraid of the asteroid field was clearly wrong, as they were completely safe until a star destroyer lowered its shields for communication.
The 200 gigaton quad turbolasers are the ICS say are there are N-canon because no such guns appear in the movies, and the ICS claim to be a guide to the ship and vehicles of the movies.
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: 2. the ROTS novelization implies heavy turbolasers to be in the gigatons.
It does? Does anyone have any idea of what SFF is talking about.
He/she really needs to provide a quote for this claim.
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: 3. The EU is generally vague about firepower, but Star Wars: Slave Ship specifically mentions gigatonne weapons.
Isn't this the quote that talks about recoil, and makes very little sense?
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: Copied from starfleet jedi, and largely invalid.
So the list was compiled at SFJ?
So he/she is admitting some of the list is correct, and providing no proof that anything is not correct?
Sci Fi Fan Post 718 wrote: And your proof for this is...what? 100-500 kms is still far more than the 10 km ranges that Federation ships fight in.
10 km ranges as standard? I must have been watching a different show because the norm seemed to be in the thousands to the hundreds of thousands.

If you actually bothered to read the site you would have realized it is wrong in many of it's conclusions, and often makes large unreasonable assumptions such as claiming to know the properties of fictional materials when we aren't told them. We know in Star Trek canon they are not limited by something as silly as E=MC^2.
If SFF bothered to read SD.NET then he/she would know that they use different methods to analyze Star Trek and Star Wars. Anything to make Star Wars look better even if it means ignoring G a,d T canon to get it, and anything to make star Trek look weak even if it means ignoring canon.
Mike Wong's site(SD.net) is just a fanfic written from the point of view of a ignorant Imperial intelligence officer who is writing a propaganda peace.
