Starflash

Starflash was a secret superweapon that could fire an enormous blast of tachyonic and lightspeed energy at a star, causing a far more powerful return burst. It was brought to the Chiss Ascendancy around five thousand years before the Battle of Yavin and did not see use until the Final Assault on Csilla, hundreds of years later. Once the enemy fleet had gathered closely together, the weapon was fired and the fleet was destroyed, along with Starflash and the twenty Chiss who operated it. A second Starflash, referred to only as the item was obtained millennia later and was still owned by the Stybla family at the end of the Clone Wars.
