  Capital Weapons of the Star Fleet Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A weapon used in the Tholian home galaxy, the refugees who reached the Milky Way were unable to maintain and build this weapon and were forced to use stolen disruptor technology (and purchased photons).
The primary heavy weapon of the Andromedan Invaders, this weapon appeared to be a development of tractor beams.

 Tech Commentaries - Directed Energy Weapons
Given that the three primary energy weapons of the Star Trek universe (the blaster, disruptor, and phaser) all direct their energy by the phased energy rectification of nadions, it's somewhat understandable that "phaser" is sometimes used to refer to disruptors and blasters as well.
Not all settings are available to all weapons of a given size - smaller scale weapons typically do not have the higher settings available to larger ones (in which case, the energy weapon is simply unable to fully utilize the power that it is theoretically capable of).
As such, a weapon that could generate a visually spectacular destruction of a planet, yet do so with a low enough kinetic energy injection to leave a visibly dense debris field behind to serve as a reminder of the weapon's abilities, would be ideal for the intended mission of terror for the Death Star.

 Star Wars: Battlefront II for PC Review - PC Star Wars: Battlefront II Review
Star Wars fans got quite a treat earlier this week with a double dose of Star Wars media hitting store shelves.
There are basically two major capital ships, a bunch of fighters buzzing around them, maybe a couple of smaller frigates, and that's it.
There really can't be all that much to designing sound in a Star Wars game like this--the effects of blaster rifles, lightsabers whirling through the air, or TIE fighters screaming through space are all lifted right from the movies and used in the game.

 Star Wars - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Star Wars is an influential science fantasy saga and fictional universe created by writer/producer/director George Lucas in the early 1970s.
For his part, Lucas claimed in a segment filmed for the THX-remastered VHS release of the original trilogy that the original Star Wars story was intended as a single film, but was later split into three because the story was too long to be told in a single film.
Lucas's intentions for Star Wars involved a grand musical sound, with leitmotifs for different characters and important objects; an approach used to great effect, for instance, in the operas of Richard Wagner.

You build space fleets and land units to withstand the enemy's (may it be the rebellion or the Empire) attacks.
Fleet building is not complicated, and planet conquering gets to the point where it is almost by the numbers or by the book.

While vessels of the Jedi order were met with feelings of pride and relief as they came soaring to solve galactic strife, the Imperial Star Destroyer's gargantuan size cleary inspires both awe and terror.
The Star Destroyer is recognized as the signature vessel of the Imperial fleet.
Though, as is typical of the Empire, not even the Star Destroyer was enough to sate the Imperial hunger for displays of power.

The Victory-class Star Destroyer is primarily for planetary and orbital platform assault.

 Science Fiction Game Reviews
Although Starlancer is all about space combat, time spent onboard capital ships is quite important, and a great deal of attention has been paid to making the ship interiors just as immersive as the outer-space environments.
In this game, players must take a fleet of starships on a trans-galactic quest for their long-lost home.
The cars also carry weapons, and while they can't hurt each other, they can definitely do major damage to the scenery.

 Star Wars: Empire at War - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
Star Wars: Empire at War, abbreviated to simply EaW, is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that takes place in the Star Wars universe.
Promising to end the mediocrity of past Star Wars RTS games (namely Star Wars: Force Commander and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds), Empire at War started from the ground up.
Brett Tosti, the LucasArts producer, has stated that this encourages players to create diverse armies and fleets with units that counter other units, as opposed to building a bunch of "super units".

 Jedi Council Forums - Numbers Discussion^1 - Analyzing the science of Star Wars
The flank weapons batteries are the most powerful weapons onboard the Star Destroyer, and the six Heavy Turbolaser Turrets are specifically cited as the heaviest weapons onboard.
Boba apparently did not give the energy packs nearly enough time to charge for the weapons to be at their full effectiveness (not surprising given the ship is resting on the landing pad).
Given that the Death Star was not prepared to fire a planet killing shot we should assume that the power used herein is a high-end estimate.

 Star Wars: Databank | TIE bomber
Sienar Fleet Systems' development of the TIE bomber took the robust TIE/gt starfighter variant as a starting point and ended up with a formidable light space bomber capable of delivering devastating attacks of pinpoint accuracy against ground and space-based targets.
Previous to the bomber's development, orbital bombardment was handled by the weapons of the capital starships such as Imperial Star Destroyers.
While no one would argue against the lethality of such methods, capital ship bombardments would often result in unwanted colateral damage adjacent to the targets.

This is actually a good thing as Brent Spiner, who reprises the ever stoic android Data, has said that any further Star Trek motion pictures will not be possible because even with the miracles of modern makeup, he has a hard time fighting the effects of aging.
Deep Space Nine was one of the darker aspects of the Star Trek universe.
Not only does it convey the rigors of running a capital ship better, its mere interface seems to exude the difficulties of keeping tabs on a ship of that size.

 Game: Star Wars: Battlefront II - Mod DB
Gamers and Star Wars fans alike loved the expansive battles from the original, and Pandemic is keeping the gamer's wants close at hand with the sequel.
Possible strategies during space battles are a standard strafing runs on enemy capital ships, boarding and capturing enemy vessels, or using turrets on enemy craft to weaken the enemies own shields.
I blame the rush that this game was made in, pressured to be released in time for the DVD of Revenge of the Sith, hopefully they will make a Battlefront 3 to make up for this one, with a far more flexible deadline so they don't have to cut corners or leave things unfinished/unpolished.

 Starship Modeler: Star Wars Ships Index
This ship is heavily modified from the 'stock' version - including uprated weapons, shields liberated from the Imperials, and a class 5 hyperdrive that makes it almost twice as fast as Imperial warships.
This craft is seen in all three Star Wars movies, starting with the first unsuccessful attack on the Death Star in ANH.
These sleek capital ships give the fleet the needed muscle to back up the operations of smaller Rebel fighter fleet.

 Jedi Council Forums - Corellian Defence Force!! ("Legacy of the Force" spoilers - fleet junkie/roster thread)
Strident-class Star Defenders: the largest ships we've seen the Corellians use so far are; these are reasonably big, but Betrayal suggests that they're smaller than an Alliance battle carrier, so less than twice the tonnage of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
And then there's Thrackan's assault fleet under construction in secret shipyards at Kiris - though what the purpose of this is, I have no idea: Thrackan was a screaming xenophobe, but that never stopped him cooperating with aliens on a practical basis.
Essentially, view the Star Defender as the NR Star Destroyer, and the Battle Carriers as the GFFA Star Destroyers.

The essence of Star Wars battles has been captured well, with squadrons of one- or two-man fighters swooping around at great speed while lumbering capital ships make their ponderous turns and sweeps and unleash merry hell at each other.
While we had previously brought you an updated look at the game in advance of the show, at E3, we were able to see some new features in action, such as the galactic map and the role of hero characters in the game.
So while the Imperial Star Destroyers are out staking their claim in space and AT-ATs are stalking the planet's surface, the Rebellion are nicking the plans for a new moon-sized space station.

For as long as Star Fleet Battles has been around, there have been people who wanted to design their own ships or make modifications to existing vessels.
For a quick estimate of how your intended race is going to perform, you can simply swap out the weapons of one of the original SFB races with alternate choices.
This may be used to power weapons which require certain types of energy, but may not be used for movement.
