Waypoint Moderators aren't really Moderators, just power hungry and its goal is defend their beloved Halo at all costs. (Meaning that they wank Halo too much.)
BS Angel is alleged foe so, be wary of Waypoint and its moderators! Do not attempt to move to Waypoint. Enter your own risk.
*WARNING* IT IS MY OPINION.

The Death Star has multiple overlapping planetary shielding devices. But before we get into that, let's look at an Imperial Star Destroyer's (ISD) stats. The shielding is capable of tanking over 2 petatons of energy per second, and it's main armament can dole out well over 100 teratons of firepower per volley. I'm fairly certain that Covenant shields fail after 1 kiloton of energy, which I also read is the yield of their ship-ship plasma cannons.
I also remember seeing that the Covenant fleet at it's peak had something along the lines of 2.5-5 thousand ships. If each had 10 plasma cannons, that's 50,000 kt of energy per volley of every ship. That literally isn't even .0001% of what an ISD can tank effortlessly.
For now, Empire roflstomps the Covenant easily.
However, your information is severely incorrect on many parts including calculations. In other words, you're a moron.
First Part:
Source for that? I'm pretty sure that SD is nowhere in teratons range, only in gigatons range in proper usage of reactors. However, a single SD can dish out over 860 teratons BY diverting ALL OF ITS power from reactor which it means that everything will be slightly powered down, including turning off shields for increased firepower. Fun fact: Each Turbolasers FIRES several hundred megatons to low digit gigatons per second.
Second part: Once again, you're a moron. UNSC's standard MAC travels at 30,000 km/s, the slug weights about 600 tons. Guess what? It means that you gotta use Ke formula for this. Ke= 1/2(mass x velocity)^2
Which, it translates that UNSC's standard MAC is calibrated to be 64.5 kilotons (as lowest tier so far). Which... it takes three MAC shots to down a single covenant shields. Shields in Covenant VARY widely, due to size and class of ships. Let's use this example: 3 MAC shots = 192 kilotons against a Battle-cruiser.
And third part:
Wrong on plasma cannon yields, bub. It's actually in reasonable range of low digit megatons to mid level megatons.
So, I would strongly recommend you to cease and decease the action of spreading idiotic information that has no sources and extremely flawed to everyone else.
However, I can agree that Empire wins against Covenant. I'm just pointing out that you are wrong on every aspect on Halo information on ships and also calculations as well.
