Only, you forget we are actually limiting the Star Wars to basically the Empire of the movies.
Edit: Also, again, we don't accurately know WHAT the Forerunner ships/other things can completely do. The quotes I've seen are kinda vague on the matter.
I also talked to my friend who has cryptum and guess what? He disagreed with your "Planet killing fightercraft." and "War Sphinx's can single-handedly melt/slag an entire continent."
As the cruise's fusion drives went crutical,a compact sun blossomed on the surface of Halo.It's thermonuclear sphere carved a five kilometer crater into the superdense ring material and sent powerful pressure waves rippling throughout the structure.Both up and down spin of the explosion,the fireball flattened and sterilized the surface terrain.Within moments,the yellow-white core had consumed all of the available fuel,collapsed upon itself,and winked out.
Still spinnig,but unable to withstand the forces exerted on this weak ponit,the ring structure slowly tore itself apart.Huge chucks of debris tumbled end over end out into space,as a five-hundred-kilometer long sections of the ring's world hull sliced through an even longer curve of brilliantly engineered metal,earth and water and produced a cascade of eerily silent explosion.
Halo cryptum pg 129
The first fortress's fighters moved in,surrounding one of the primed Halos and engaging its sentinels.Simultaneously,four cruisers sent white-hot beams to points around the targeted installation.Setninels intercepted some of those beams,partially deflecting them but also absorbing and sacrificing.Other beams struck home,carving canyonlike gouges across the mottled inner surface and blowing blue-white plumed of debris and plasma from the edges.The interior spokes began to shimmer and fade.The Halo could not hold together against this onslaught.It bent inward,wobbled.Fascinated,i watched as hge sections of the ring twisted like ribbon,giving away to destructive nodes of resonance,then rippled in sinus waves and separated with agonizing majesty
Halo Cryptum pg 320
Even before it had emerged halfway,the fortress began to loose clouds of fighters-at this distancenthey resembled a puff of pollen from a flower-and fire it's weapons in a sequential radiance.The inner curve of the Halo,even protected by waves of hard light,could not stand up long to this assault from within it's own radius.
The fortress's commanders and ancillas must have known they were dooming themself as well as the Halo.The installation began a spectacular disintegrative sequence.The visible half of the ring bent in opposite directions,then shattered into five great arc.
Those weapons were far more powerful then the Autumns detonation.The autumn only created a 5 km crater into the rings material,even then it couldn't destroy the ring but because of that weak point,the ring destroyed itself.
Now compare that to the Forerunner ships,who destroyed it with sheer strenght alone,yet the rings were protected by hard light.
The width of a ring is 1000 km,the explosion of the POA was 5 times larger then the width,which means a fireball with a radius of 5000 km,according to the SD.net calculator,it equals 10 petatons.

I already admitted my mistake with the warsphinx slagging continets.But the near destruction of the prophet homeworld is a fact and a quote of it was provided a few pages ago.
