Dratheria has finally after long arduous uears has finally developed the Sun Crusher the first ever Systembuster and 2 prototypes are at this time constructed these will be the total fleet of these vessels and the resonance torpedoes will be stored in a heavily guarded and armored Orion-class Space Station. Also the Sun Crushers will be unarmed and stored in separate cloaked locations till they are needed.
The Sun Crusher is an near indestructable craft which destroys entire solar systems using a resonance torpedo that causes a star to go supernova.
Background behind this Star Wars Vessel
The SunCrusher was a small six-man ship capable of destroying stars. It was developed by Qwi Xux, a member of Admiral Daala's scientific research team at the Maw Research Facility. It was a remarkable piece of technology; the Sun Crusher was a cone-shaped vessel which flew with its "point" downwards (as perceived by the pilot). A dish-shaped resonance projector was attached to its point, and at its very top was a 360-degree rotating laser cannon. A number of other laser cannons were arrayed slightly lower on the vessel, and the pilot's cockpit windows were just below the top cannon. The ship incorporated two important technical innovations: quantum crystalline armour, and the resonance torpedo.
The quantum crystalline armour allowed the Sun Crusher to shrug off turbolaser blasts from Star Destroyers and it even allowed it to survive the blast wave of a supernova. Its resonance torpedoes travelled at near-lightspeed and were capable of triggering a chain reaction that would detonate a star (even a low-mass star which would not normally go nova). Although it normally carried up to 6 crewers, it could be effectively controlled by as little as one man.
The SunCrusher was lost twice. It was cast into the depths of the Yavin gas giant after it was stolen from the Maw Research Facility by Durron and his cohorts, and after Durron went berserk he retrieved it from the depths of Yavin by using the Force. He then went on a homicidal rampage, destroying the entire stellar cluster at the heart of the Cauldron Nebula as well as the Carida system. He eventually flew the Sun Crusher into one of the black holes in the Maw, and it was lost forever.
In spite of its strengths, the SunCrusher ultimately proved to be a failure and a poor idea. Because it could be controlled by a single person, it had the potential to give a single deranged individual enough power to destroy several star systems (as happened with Kyp Durron). This creates a serious imbalance; the individual piloting the SunCrusher is simply given too much power for any individual (save the Emperor) to handle safely. Because of this, there are no plans to initiate any research programs to develop the SunCrusher technology again.
