Death Star Vs Halo

Death Star Vs Halo

For this match, let’s keep it to a fight against the other. I think we’d all agree that the Death Star has more usage since it can fire essentially an unlimited amount of times whereas the Halo is a one-and-done weapon.

So, for this scenario the Death Star is well within firing range of the Halo…

Which side would you want to be on?

    um,if its in firing range then i think halo is done for.

    Hhhmmm

    If its a matchup straight against one another, I think we dont have all the info. As far as we know, the Halos extinguish all life on the galaxy. Thats it. Thats all we got.

    That does not mean it destroys said life with something that also affects matter. Meaning that whatever is “shoots” may not do anything to the Death Star. Whereas we know that one direct hit from the star and the pretty ring goes bye bye.

    I say inconclusive. Otherwise, Death Star for sure.

    the only thing i need to know is does the death star need to be ran on living things? cuz if A.I. can make it then hell the halo is gone.

    Does Halo have an exhaust port about 2 meters wide (roughly the size of a womp rat back on Tatooine)?? Does the Death Star have various types of eco systems? Decor? The Death Star is about as ugly it was useful. Too bad the second Death Star was destroyed before it was finished; maybe it had all that the first Death Star was lacking…

    Halo wins.. not even close

    Also; considering the Death Star’s computer core allow it to operate without a crew means that the only “weapon” the Halo(s) have is practically useless.

  6. 6 - TL on November 17th, 2008 9:52 pm

    If the Death Star is computer controlled, then the Halo’s main weapon won’t have a effect on it. It will probably just wipe out every sentient life in the galaxy. Then the Death Star will fire on the Halo and destroy it.

    Or the crew could launch anyone of its unmanned Fleets and destroy the Ring whilst sitting pretty several Galaxies away.

    Unless used correctly upon the exact ooponent, then the Rings represent nothing more than a big pile of useless Onyx.

    “Does Halo have an exhaust port about 2 meters wide?”

    Nope, it just has a very unstable core, a large exposed surface area and no self-defence network to speak of, making it incredibly vulnerable for a construct of its size.

    “Does the Death Star have various types of eco systems? Decor?”

    Grass and paint, which would protect the Halo from Turbo-blaster rounds how?

    One of the Ig88 droids replaced the second deathstar’s main computer and had it not underestimated the rebel ships would have overrun the Sw universe after disposing of the biological crew (tales of the bounty hunters) so yes that death star could still destroy a Halo without a living crew however that is not the deathstar shown at the top and i belive it would need a crew to operate the computer now if that can be a droid crew then it would not matter if all life in the universe is destroyed so unless anyone can say that the Rings wipe out planets and or ships I think the deathstar would win. Ps enjoy the run on sentance

    Seriously… you guys never ever read the scenario…

  10. 10 - Matapiojo on November 18th, 2008 8:04 am

    “Ps enjoy the run on sentance”

    Ugh. It hurts us.

  11. 11 - marche on November 18th, 2008 9:34 am

    well the fact that the scenario says the death star is in rane,and i dont think it takes more than a minute to fire…

  12. 12 - TL on November 18th, 2008 11:09 am

    Sorry if I offend anyone lol. It was just a remark at someone (not gonna say who) who always mentions something that differs from the given scenario.

    The fact that Halo was created merely to starve the Flood, not destroying anything else other than sentient life, puts it at a impossible disadvantage when facing a Superweapon created to destroy planets.

    If the Death Star is being computer controlled at this point, then the Halo has no chance of winning this match. Unless the shockwave somehow contains EMP? I don’t know about this one.

  13. 13 - L-W on November 18th, 2008 7:05 pm

    Ah, TL. Your Frankness and lack of analysis shall always remain a burden to yourself. Try and adopt some tact in future.

    1) The Death Star itself is not just a single Particle Superlaser weapon platform, it also uses a myriad of other particle propulsion devices not limited by immediate range combat. The myriad of heavier Turbolasers could achieve ranges far greater than the firing sequnce of the Halo itself, whilst Hyper-Drive ordinance assures that it never even has to be in the same sector of the Galaxy as the Halo.

    2) It is a mobile Space STATION, whose primary purpose is to act as a Carrier in large Naval and Marine operations. It is designed to first and foremost deliver craft before itself (Which was the fatal flaw the crew adopted in ‘A New Hope’) and could hold a payload of Imperial Cruisers and a large number of ships within it’s own drydock; designed expressly for Naval engagements.

    Think of it as a large Aircraft Carrier and mobile Drydock that just so happens to have an extrmely potent cannon equipped. In all due respect, I believe I’ve actually sustained within the confines of the scenario presented, it just so happens that everyone else has a very limited perception of what range actually means.

    which sounds cooler? thats my case

  15. 15 - TL on November 19th, 2008 4:44 am

    I don’t really know the range of the Death Star, so pardon me.

    As for the firing range of one single Halo, it has an effective radius of 25,000 light-years. How far can the Death Star fire? And the problem is, can the Death Star’s Turbolasers render Halo Ineffective?

    And pardon me, but you did not sustained within the scenario. It’s Death Star vs Halo, not Death Star and Fleet vs Halo. This is a match to determine the better super weapons, not the docking capacities of the Death Star or Halo (which didn’t had any). And Halo’s weapons would probably wipe out every living crew in their fleet anyway.

    Correct me if I’m wrong about anything.

    due the DS could destroy a planet, what makes you think halo possibly even destroy the DS. Halo is nothing but a fat wedding ring with an atmoshpere

  17. 17 - Baron Somebody on November 19th, 2008 8:44 pm

    lol a fat wedding ring

  18. 18 - TL on November 20th, 2008 5:16 am

    Yeah, I think we should limit this match to the weapons each possesses, and the power they could bring on a galactic scale and against each other.

    Halo wins when it comes to mass destruction of sentient life.

    However, Death Star wins when it comes to using their weapons against each other.

    I think.

  19. 19 - Matapiojo on November 20th, 2008 12:05 pm

    @TL

    If we are looking at it the way you suggest, then I agree with you.

  20. 20 - L-W on November 22nd, 2008 2:04 am

    Although by that logic, an Aircraft Carrier only has a range of 100 metres. Which as we all know is not the case.

  21. 21 - Raptros555 on November 22nd, 2008 6:04 pm

    Death star would just blow a hole in halo it’s not a planet so the energy wouldn’t be able to build up in a chain reaction. The Halo would most likely go off before it tears itself apart killing everybody in the galaxy. But the forerunners who activated it would most likely escape to shield worlds and those dreadnaughts are real tough and blow the death star as they leave leaving bot destroyed but forerunners winning.

    Also another way are the setinels. their beams would cut through that base like nothing…

  22. 22 - TL on November 24th, 2008 2:17 am

    And by that logic, the Halo would be a ICBM.

  23. 23 - L-W on November 24th, 2008 4:35 am

    I’m going to presume this was towards me. If not, then I apologise.

    “And by that logic, the Halo would be a ICBM.”

    Not really, since it fires a pulse of unknown quantification, not a missile. Is capable of launching a payload over multiple sectors of the Galaxy, not just single continents. And uses the same pulse to neutralise specific targets, therefore not a ballistic of any kind.

    The Death Star is a multi-purpose Station, serving as a waypoint station, a Battle-Cruiser, Star ship deployment platform, Marine, Frigate and Fighter insertion device, construction yard, a Garrison, a Fortress, mobile Artillery, a Carrier, an Inter-Galactic bombardment vessel, dry-dock, R&D facility, Stormtrooper training and Cloning plant and a weapons, power, vessel provision factory.

    It pretty much serves every function from training Stormtroopers and pilots, constructing Droids and providing power to and restoring Planetary shields.

    It also just happens to having a big cannon positioned on the front.

    - - -

    Now as far as I’m aware this is a Death Star Vs Halo matchup, which denoted the entirety of the construct itself, facilities, personnel and all. This in the case of the Halo would dictate all of its primary functions, including the Sentinel facilities.

    My point being is that each proponent is not limited to just having a big gun that goes boom boom, it dictates that each construct use whatever resources available to win this fight. Now the Death Star is not limited to the Darksaber, it can also fire Hyper drive rounds capable of firing from outside the radius of the Halo, or using the interplanetary Ion Cannon to simply deactivate the Halo at long range.

  24. 24 - WTFMACHINE on November 24th, 2008 1:05 pm

    concidering that the DS has a bunch of turrets and a super laser

  25. 25 - TL on November 25th, 2008 12:19 am

    Death Star’s main weapon, the Superlaser has a working range of 420,000 km.

    Interplanetary Ion Cannon’s range is sufficient to target planets at interstellar ranges, but it’s maximum range is not explicitly stated.

    Hyperdrive: aren’t those the engines used to enter hyperspace? The only weapon that comes close to the description is the Galaxy Gun, but it was not built on the Death Star, but rather a separate superweapon commisioned by Palpatine after he was reborn.

    the death star fires on demand it takes a good 30 min.??? to fire the halo?
