Lol. I've often described the 5th Imperium as considering the Death Star to be, shall we say, a bloated, undegunned, poorly designed, unmaneuverable, undergunned, poorly shielded, slow, undergunned, overmanned, overbudgeted, and did I mention undergunned?, frigate.
The basic premise is that Earthly humanity is descended from the crew of a giant alien spacecraft that were stranded here in the system by a mutiny onboard.
Said spacecraft is still here. It's seen by billions of people every day.
Of course, it's covered with a few miles of rock and we call it "The Moon", but it's there.
