"...The station was powered by a cavernous hypermatter reactor encased in radiation insulator plating located at the center of the station, the destruction of which had the potential to be catastrophic to the station. Doonium and dolovite were essential for shielding the hypermatter reactor core, focusing dish, and superlaser. The reactor was connected to various components in the station, such as the superlaser, the power diversion solenoid, and the station's enormous power cells. The Death Star's tractor beam generator was also coupled to the main reactor through seven power generator terminals located throughout the station. Above the reactor were vast water tanks. The power of the Death Star's superlaser could be controlled depending on how many reactor ignitions were used to power it. For example, a single reactor ignition was capable of destroying a large area of a world's surface instead of destroying the body entirely..."
