First of all...that’s no moon.
LyNxDiver
this sounds like something for r/HFY

redundant anything this big would have to belong to a society capable of manipulating gravity and inertia.

Building a habitat in the moon then sticking thrusters on it has been proposed and wouldn't require technology we don't already have.
MarkOfTheCovenant
So you wouldn't even need weapons on it, just drive-by gravitational disturbances

And you would be so damn big that it would be nearly impossible to think of a way to destroy it.

Reasonably, it would probably take something like 18 hours for a ship like that to turn around without pinning some of it's crew to walls

Two words: Inertial Dampeners.

Thank you for that hilarious visual
Unbannable3
Like coming out of ludicrous speed?

Think more *walking down a corridor* *gravity suddenly changes from down to 7Gs to the right*

Sigh. DS1 wasn't in orbit. It was just there in space (CorrectMeIfImWrong) Gvnr Hock said "set course for Alderaan" after Qs to Leia. >
FloofTumbleWeeds
Then it was at Alderaan, Leia was brought before Hock again & asked where rebel base was, she said "Dantooine" then he blew up Alderaan so >
FloofTumbleWeeds
Any small effect on tides etc in the small time the DS was in the area, would've been eclipsed somewhat by the obliterated planet issue >
FloofTumbleWeeds
Not to mention the fact that DS1 is described by luke as a "small moon", What quantifies a small moon relative to our own moon we couldn't >
FloofTumbleWeeds
Accurately speculate on with dimensions of Alderaan, DS1 & the distance between the 2 when Alderaan was described. Distance is important as>
FloofTumbleWeeds
It would determine whether the DS1 would actually orbit Alderaan (eg if Alderaan was big enough) or if it was floating nearby or if by in >
