User blog:Geomax/40k vs sci fi tourney round 2:Apocalypse class battleship vs SSD

AN APOCALYPSE CLASS BATTLESHIP,ONE OF THE MIGHTIEST IMPERIUM WARSHIPS,

VS

A SUPER STAR DESTROYER, A TITANIC WARSHIP CAPABLE OF DEVASTATING ENTIRE FLEETS!

WHICH IS DEADLIEST?

Nova Cannon(Apocalypse)
One of the most powerful weapons in the IoM fleet, the Nova Cannon fires a round weighing almost a million ton at .9c with an estimated KE of 22 Petatons(Or 220 times the power of the Dino Killer asteroid). In addition, it contains an explosive charge capable of creating a blast radius the sive of a small planet IN SPACE. Since creating something that large in an atmosphere would require a yield of several petatons, that suggests a yield in the high petaton range for the charge. However the weapon is also innacurate and slow to reload.

Heavy Turbolasers(SSD)
The main guns of an SSD, heavy turbolasers have been estimated at 70 Petatons per second extrapolating from the sheilds.

Lances and Torpedoes(Apocalypse)
The Apocalypse mounts a heavy lance battery which has been estimated at an output of 5 PTs per second(This battle will use the 5 PT estimate). It also carries a payload of torpedoes, each of which carries a clusterpack of 120 5 gigaton warheads, and can fired at a rate of several thousand per second.

Medium Turbolasers(SSD)
An SSD carries several thousand medium turbolasers, which can fire 200 gigatons per second.

Macrocannons and lasers
The Apocalypse mount a weapon battery composed of macrocannons, coilguns which fire 7 ton slugs at 30,000km/s, with an estimated yield of 340 megatons, and lasers, which have an unknown yield(likely comparable to macrocannons.)

Light Turbolasers
The SSD mounts several thousand light turbolasers, with an output of 7 megatons every two seconds.

Void Shields
The Apocalypse is equipped with Void shields, powerful energy sheilds. There output is comparble to a Nova Cannons yield, suggesting high PT or low ET range endurance.

Sheilds
The SSD is equipped with powerful force fields. The max amount of energy it can absorb is not known(Likely comparable to the Apocalypses),but it is known it cannot survive more than 70 PTs per second.
