    Its the reverse of the genisis device used to terreform planets.
    its on the ST the wrath of khan.
    Khan wants to reverse it to destroy planets

    The Genesis device initiates forced terraforming. Whether there are living beings on the planet or not. 'Advantage' is that you get to eliminate your enemy, and still have a useable planet.

    I'd think the Death Star's blast would be more practical. Its an energy beam, the gensis torpedo would be something needed to be stocked and loaded into a ship's weapon bay. I can't see the Death Star "running out" of energy beams, although a Federation or other ship would eventually run out of torpedoes.

    Advantage of the Death Star: It can be reproduced provided you have blueprints.
    Advantage of the Genesis device, leaves a useful planet behind

    Disadvantage of Death Star the neigghbors pretty much are going to watchi it like a hawk. It moves they will find out
    Disadvantage of Genesis Device: Only one person was able to produce a functioning unit. After he died no functioning unit has been produced even with full blueprints

    Actually...the Genesis process was developed by Dr. Carol Marcus, funded by the Federation Council (Wrath of Khan). The missile deployment mechanism was Khan's - who stole Marcus' device, but I see no evidence that the Genesis process itself is irreproduceable.

    Flux does have a point. Were the Federation to weaponize Genesis again (a la Khan), Starships would indeed run out of torpedoes faster than a Death Star's battery/energy systems would be drained. However, it would take only one successful hit for the Genesis process to terraform an entire Death Star.

    Bear in mind tho, canon leaves both versions of the Death Star in so many fragments

    I'd rather we all just try and calm down and get along.

    Lol, so you know what the Star Forge is?

    The Star Forge produces an infinite armada of ships, robots, weapons, etc therefore it is superior

    Both are good Death Star if you want to blow the planet up.
    StarForge if you want to invade it.
