The massive pulse carried the force of 15,000 gigatons of dynamite.
1 teraton. More than enough to vaporize a planet.

15,000 gigatons = 15 teratons, not 1. And it is nowhere near enough energy to vapourize a planet.

1 teraton ~= 4.2x10^21 joules

Assuming that you want to vape a planet of equivalent mass of Earth, that's 5.9x10^24 kg.

To even blow it up, meaning give all the mass escape velocity 11000 km/s, you'd need to give it 3.6x10^32 joules of energy. And that's just to blow it up, and at that amount of energy it would take hours to do it.

It would take WAY more energy to vaporize a planet.
