BS Geomax because the kinetic barriers are able to deflect energy based weapons too. For instance, ISD ships may have a larger arsonal but they SUCK LIKE HELL! The Empire are the worst shots! They practically miss 80% of all their shots!

Going back to the deflecting energy based weapons, laser is plasma gas, which is made of atoms, and those atoms are in deed, physical. So the kinetic barriers are able to deflect those shots. Note, their not as affective at deflecting lasers, I emit that. But the Reaper's main weapon is a spinal mounted "magnetohydrodynamic" (mass propelled weapon shooting molten metal at the speed of light!!!) cannon with a yield of 132 to 450 kilotons of TNT (doesn't sound much, but all that energy and power isn't disbanded out like a nuclear bomb, it's focused in on one central point!!!)

All in all, this battle was Their main weapon is a spinal mounted "magnetohydrodynamic" cannon with a yield of 132 to 450 kilotons of TNT (all that is focused in on one point rather than dispersed throughout the air like a nuclear bomb on a planet surface)

all in all this story was very very well done and I highly respect it (I love star wars too) but I believe that it lacked the proper research into the Reapers true firepower and capabilities like indoctrination and the Reaper Husk
