* ApocalypseHow: A Class 5 example. Despite the Death Star only shooting at minimum power, the superlaser targeting the Holy City of Jedha delivers a huge amount of energy, seeming to have penetrated the moon's crust and created a shockwave in its mantle, as the ground is shown ''peeling off the surface of the moon'' (which is [[ShownTheirWork what would happen]] if a planet was hit by a large enough impactor, and presumably a [[DoomsdayDevice giant]] [[DeathRay death laser]] as well). The moon probably isn't going to be habitable in the wake of such massive geological devastation.

Expanded Universe material confirms this resulted in a gradual Class 6 that resulted in the planet being nothing but a series of rocks by 4 ABY.
