Time and time again, The Empire showcased the ability to completely wipe out cities or even entire planets with their trusty Death Star kyber-crystal-powered superlaser.

But The First Order took things to a whole new level during the events of The Force Awakens.

After building a pretty impressive base on the ice planet of Ilum, it was eventually revealed that said world came equipped with the mother of all superweapons.

This particular superlaser was charged up by the base consuming an entire sun. And in the first and only ever test of its fire power, General Armitage Hux ordered the weapon to be fired on the entire Hosnian system.

What came next is up there as one of the most devastating attacks in Star Wars history, as the laser shot across the galaxy and completely destroyed a large chunk of the New Republic.

Thankfully, the mega weapon and the base itself were blown to pieces before it could fire on the Resistance base planet of D'Qar. But its one and only shot still made its mark on the galaxy far, far away.
