For today's battle, I decided two soldiers in a field - or even two superheroes on a planet - wasn't going to cut it in terms of scale. So, instead, we have something a bit grander :lol: .

First of all, we have the almighty Death Star. That's no moon... it's a space station:

Width: 160km
Armament: Planet-destroying laser; ~100,000 laser/ion canons and missile batteries; 7,000 TIE fighters; tractor beam
Personnel: ~1 million

It'll be facing off against twenty of these Super Star Destroyers:

Length: 19km
Armament: ~5,000 laser/ion cannons and missile batteries; ~350 combat and support ships; tractor beam
Crew: ~250,000

Special rules are as follows:

  • The battle takes place in a Galactic Battle Arena. This means the Super Star Destroyer fleet starts 1000 light years away from the Death Star; however, since both combatants are FTL-capable, distance is unlikely to be an issue :P .

  • The fleet may not do a 'trench run' on the Death Star's exhaust port. They have no stolen plans - and thus, no knowledge of that design flaw.

  • Hyperspace can only be used for transit, not for combat. (In other words, neither side may use the 'Holdo maneuver')

So, who wins this?

No way would Imperial Super Star Destroyers be attacking the Death Star. If it's Rebellion Super Star Destroyers, then it makes more sense. 
At any rate, the Super Star Destroyers are going to have an easy time hitting the Death Star and weaving in and out of attacks(relatively speaking since they're just far smaller.)

:P I'd actually side with the death star and here's why.

yes, super star destroyers are strong, but you're forgetting the most important part of the death star.

it's a mobile battle station!

it has hangars filled with fighters and bombers and the outside is covered in turbolasers.

why did the rebellion use X-wings to attack the death star?  because bigger ships couldn't get close enough due to the station's defenses.

The death star's crew compliment was 1.7 Million personnel, 400,000 maint droids, and 250,000 civilian's, contractors, and non military staff.

the hangars housed somewhere between seven and nine thousand fighters/bombers.

and it's weapons besides the superlaser include.

well a lot of turbo lasers in single, dual, and quad configurations ideal for tracking and shooting down all but the smallest and most nimble of targets.

the station may be slow but it is a fortress, and it can use it's turbolaser to actually shoot more than planetary mass targets since they don't necessarily need a full charge to destroy a ship.

and as far as maneuverability... the station is covered in tractor beam emitters, which means it can literally grab a ship, try to hold it there and then rail on it until it explodes.
this is the same station that dragged the millennium falcon into one of it's hangar bays and that ship and crew was an expert at dodging imperial fleets and escaping from trouble.

on top of that it has the resources to literally sit there and take bombardment for up to 4 years so a siege is no issue either.

and here's the biggest problem, Darth Vader kinda of throws a wrench into things along with admiral Yularen to command the station's defenses.

honestly I think those star destroyers would have a better chance of crossing through borg space because the death star's destruction was a fluke caused by a design flaw and a one in a million jedi force power aided shot.
