And since the Executor is an Imperial design, they are very, very smart.

Doesn't make much sense to put your power CORE anywhere near your hull.

Thats like, the Dark Empire comics and X-wing VS TIE Fighter Balance of Power Campaigns combined scenario right there, Ankh.

Umm it's not 8km because:

A)You wrecked about the back kilometer.

C)Shields would take some.

D)Air friction would cause at least some of it to rip off.

Drayson the armour was already severely damaged and I had one thousand plus torps.

Id estimate a good 5-6km would still come smashing down...

Consider any Asteroid impact scenario, missles arn't an option becuase they only serve to shatter the asteroid, cuasing one large impact to become many different impacts equaling to the same magnitude.

You may have just killed everyone on that side of the world...

Breaking it into smaller parts makes a difference. The smaller the surface area that impacts at once decreases the destrution caused, can SAVE lives, and decreases the possibility of a nuclear winter. If broken into small enough parts that is.

Kamon is correct. If the SSD broke up, it would make a difference.

More surface area would hit the planet, resulting in more widespread destruction.

Think about it - if the SSD hits intact, all of the inside decks are simply crushed. But if it splits in half, top and bottom, you have both halves hitting -- twice as much surface area.

yeah, if broken up into particulate, here we have no chance of that...
