I can't understand, why the Klingon haven't developed a light bat'leh. I would be far mor lethal and useful than a standard bat'leh.

The Klingons hold on tradition.... To change the bat'leth would change everything.

I still believe, that one the tech to build a Death Star is viable in the Star Trek universe.
Two: Why would using a modified bet'leh, really change the Klingon way. It would be more lethal, you could use it to taunt your opponents with, plus it is a valuable in the field device.

If they managed to build a light sabel, why would it have to be a modified bat'leth?
isn't an ordinary sword or something just as good if you want to test the technology?
And - I still don't believe Klingons would change that easy, just because someone introduces something new?
Since the original bet'leth constructuion comes from Kehless' time, I think they would find it bad to change what's been working perfectly for such a long time.
Plus.. Death comes more slowly if you want to torture somebody with it... with a modifed one the opponent would be slized up in like three seconds.

In at least one of the DS9 books, Defiant's phasers are described as being powerful enough to "cut a planet in half". I doubt the Federation would have technological barriers to a Death Star; the barriers would more likely be political and ethical.

I completley agree + ST is after SW so they are more advanced!

Actully No it's not. The Super laser must come from a power source Bigger and Stonger then a Warp Core.
I doubt even the Strongest Of ST ships could generate that much power.
And the SW Universe may only have Ion Cannons But the ships are more menuverable then a bulky starship and Even 3 TIE's (Who have no shileds) could most likely destory a starship.

SW is much more about raw power. ST is more about advanced techologies. That very same turbolaser vs, say, quantum torpedoes.

Yup, those are called "fusion cubes" and "tactical fusion cubes"
