the death star could just destroy the planet while staying out of its disrupter range,then the laser would recharge while the imperial fleet(wich is better then malaks)guards it like its their grandmother;)

I don't think the disrupter on the Forge only works on 'medium ships'. There's a republic capital ship on the background when you crash land afer getting near it.

please consult the game and you'll find that the disruptor field is broadcast from the planet not the starforge. That's what your party goes into the temple to shut off.

Well, assuming the Disrupter is made to guard the Forge, as I'd think it is, it'd likely cover the Forge from more than one angle. Assuming the planet orbits the star the Forge feeds off of, this owuld make it's range larger, not smaller...

Ok here is what I think whichever Space Station was on the offensive is the Space Station that would win. Also bear in mind that were comparing two forms of technology that are some 4000 years apart. Revan's Sith Empire had the Star Forge,Interdictor Class Cruisers (Leviathan),Sith Bombers, and Sith Fighters. And The Galactic Empire had The Death Star, Super Star Destroyers, Star Destroyers, Tie bombers, and Tie Fighters. First lets compare The Star Forge With The Death Star. The Star Forge was essentially a massive factory that was fueled by a nearby star and sometimes The Dark Side Of The Force to pump out unimaginable amounts of Cruisers,Bombers and Fighters nonstop. It's only real defense besides it's massive fleets was The Disruptor Field emanating from from a temple on the nearby planet of Rakata Prime. Concerning Mobility there is no telling whether or not The Star Forge could move through space but most likely though it could not simply because The Star Forge relied (Mostly) on the power of a nearby star to fuel itself.
Now The Death Star on the other hand was not a tool of creation like The Star Forge but rather it was a tool of destruction because (As We All Know) it could destroy planets with a single shot from it's Super Laser but as for defenses it was pretty much in the same boat as The Star Forge it relied on its fleets for protection and similar but also unlike The Star Forge it relied on a Deflector Shield instead of a Disruptor Field. As for mobility we know The Death Star Could defiantly move through space but defiantly NOT at Lightspeed it possibly achieved this by being a satellite and using the gravitational pull of nearby planets to propel itself which would in fact explain The Battle Of Yavin more clearly it also could have relied on back up engines to move itself in regions where planets are scarce.

Now lets do the final comparison. The Star Forge's Weapons are it's Unstopable Fleets. The Death Star's Weapons are it's Super Lasers. The Star Forge's defenses are it's Disruptor Fields and The Death Star's Defenses are it's Deflector Shields. So if The Star Forge was on the offensive the only way it could achieve victory would be through the Overwhelming Numbers it possessed because even though The Galactic Empire only had a small amount of ships compared to Revan's Sith Empire it would probably take ten Interdictor Class Cruisers to take down even one Star Destroyer (Makes Me Really sad because of how cool the Interdictors look). So through strength in arms alone would The Star Forge be The Victor. If The Death Star Was on the offensive the only way it could achieve victory would be by The Element Of Surprise. The Death Star would practically have to appear out of nowhere and catch the Star Forge completely off guard then use it's Super Laser to destroy it and the planet if desired. BUT...If The Star Forge's Fleet was already mobilized and ready for the attack even if The Star Forge was destroyed and the planet along with it they would still have an Unstoppable Armada that would quickly mop up The Death Star and the remainder of the Imperial Fleet.

So on second thought I'm going to have to give this one to The Star Forge because even if The Death Star was on the Defensive and was also Victorious by the time it had massed it's full strength and regrouped and rebuilt it's Fleet and also adding to that the time it would take to travel through space The Star Forge would probably already have amassed a fleet twice as large as the first ready to fight.

i dont see how the sith fleet could beat the death star,first off do they even have enough pilots to crew up all those ships? and second the sith fleet would still NOT know how to attack the death star...but then...that turns up another question,is this the first death star or the second?

It's just the law of averages it only took like 30 Rebel Alliance Fighters to destroy The Death Star. Just on Taris alone they had a few thousand Sith Troopers and most likely a few Dark Jedi (And we know how they can be lol). If I was Darth Revan(or Malak)and my Dark Jedi Based Strike Team failed to destroy it the classic way I would take the biggest capitol ship I had and plow it straight into The Death Star's Super Laser killing as many of those Imperial Bastards as I could and thus crippling the ability to destroy anymore of my ships or planets for a good long while.

So what your asking is whether or not they had enough Pilots to man all these Fighters to take out The Death Star and the answer is probably yes just considering all of the Dark Jedi, Sith Officers, and Sith Troopers they had and even if all that failed they still had The Star Forge's Droid Mass Production ability which I forgot to mention in my previous post, a Droid Mass Production ability that could rival that of the Confederacy Of Independent Systems simply because The Star Forge could produce them non-stop with out spending a single credit. And besides all that IT ONLY TOOK LIKE 30 FIGHTERS TO TAKE DOWN THE DEATH STAR ANYWAY!
As for whether or not they even knew how to destroy it I guess they would have equal chances either way considering that The Star Forge would be next to impossible to destroy simply because nobody even knows where the hell its located and to locate it they would have to go off and search just about every planet in the galaxy and hopefully at a slim to none chance stumble upon a Star Map and to even search a single planet for one would probably take thousands of years not even counting the years wasted on the stupidity of the Galactic Empire's Forces.

As for which Death Star it was it really doesn't matter the first one was easier to destroy even though it was complete only because it had a Centralized Deflector Shield so some might say it would be better to attack that one. However the only reason why the second one was so hard to destroy was because of the Planetary Based Deflector Shield which The Sith's Fleet could easily destroy without even having to make a Ground Strike (We all know what happened to Taris). Deflector Shields aside its still basically the same method to destroy either of the Death Stars which is flying into an unthinkably small area with near impossible odds against you and making that one in a million be all end all shot and then escaping with your life before it explodes.

i doubt the sith would realize that soon enough,vader wouldnt be stupid enough to bring his most powerful weapon into battle without its laser charged,so the sith would lose the starforge and revan and malak along with it,and any surviving sith would be a scartted demorilized mess....another thing-the imperial big ships could fom up just off the death star,forming a defensive outer shell,therefore stopping any kamakazi sith cap ships

The Death Star would win due to the simple fact that it's armor can't be penetrated by conventional weapons.All the Death Star would have to do is aim and fire.Good-bye Star Forge.

Wouldn't the simplest solution to destroy any superwepon/supership be to simply kamikaze by going into hyperspace strait into the desired object? A spy could wait for the death star to move out of range of the shield range and then radio back to an allied capitol ship/s nearby to launch strait into it. The ship/s would punch a hole right through it.

yes,but hyperspace takes time so if the Imperials were on the attack the sith wouldnt have enough time to react.and i also explained my kamakize cap ship solution before;)

also,i forgat to mention,while i was watching episode 6 (Return of the Jedi),i noticed that the Executor(imperial Cap ship) landed striaght on the death star...nose first.I think that this means that no ship could go kamakazi and be successful

But the ship was spinning out of control, and was not going very fast. I am talking of something moving faster than light with significant mass ( a few hundred thousand tons or more) slamming into the death star. As far as time goes, the death star takes forever to move. It is like saying that a turtle can out-run a rocketlauncher shot.

ok.....heres my trump card......the death star would come out of hyperspace with its lazer charged,and destroy the planet generating energy for the star forge.Problem solved.

Do tou know how long the Death Star would take to go hat far? I could send a ship going in the opposite direction when my spy saw it leave. Even if that didn't work,it is pretty hard to kill a planet when you make your reactor core have a neuclear meltdown. Pretty sparks!

I meant "that" not "hat"

anyway, the SF runs on the force, where as the Death Star uses computers. why don't i just hit it with an ion charge?
btw, is there such a thing as a remote-rocket propulsion sonic mine?
