Consider the context of the statement from the quote that Dankayo was evenly cratered. The implication of the text is that the ENTIRE planet was cratered, and not by a small handful of incredibly large hits, but a series of shots that would place Heavy Turbolasers in the gigaton-range but less powerful than the Mark 9 Nuke detonated in 'Beach Head'. Anything less than this (IE, in the kiloton or megaton range) would take days or weeks to completely crater the surface and that does not make for an effective demonstration of firepower, which the Empire is quite fond of.
Oraghan, simply put, I am not prepared to go through every last page of this thread looking for references that back up your claims. You presumably know the books/sources that reference the old Sith ships dishing out damage to Imperial-era warships and you presumably have sources for your other examples.
Perhaps you would also care to quote the relevant events, instead of vaguely referring to them.
I also find it incredible that you think the glassed city in 'Jedi Knight' was not about killing it's inhabitants. Think about it logically for a second- the Empire was clearly making an example out of that city. An example that is not effective if people can A: escape and B: survive. Moreover, by turning the city into molten lava, you are going to kill a lot of people anyway.
More later.
