did you see the huge reacter on the second death star? that reactor could power a pretty inpresive engine. it is slow, but it moves.

the death star had thousands of ion engines spread evenly around it

The Death Star didnt have any practical engines just a few large ion engines and it has no hyperspace; if you played star wars empireat war/forces of curruption the death star moves very slowly from system to system...

good question I think it had a series of small engines in the areas that dock would usually be found but what do I know

honestly who cares
ITS THE DEATH STAR id be more worried by the death ray than its thrusters,wormwhole finders,or artifical gravity than anyhitng else.
i mean all it takes is one good shot and then BOOM. goodbye world

I disagree, Darth Vader would use to force to move the Death Star. I think
it just rotated there.. If DV could blow up a planet from there, it would not have to travel much.

i'm telling you, it had a hemi taken out of a wrecked 71 cuda. it takes real big block mopar muscle to move all that solid steel. the bare foot accelerator pedal is kind of dated now though. take care

The method of propulsion was most excellent. Like, when the Death Star blew up a planet, it absorbed the souls of every living thing on the planet. Kind of like Galactus, dude.
Then it used the energy of thier souls as a source of fuel. It was sooooo cool!

Fact is the death star spun
like earth to move. not a very fast
station and was never meant to be.
u can clearly see it spinning in
star wars. i'm sure gravity from other
planets helped it along the way out of orbit. but basicly it spins moving like
a top. it's not as slow as it seems.

the first thing you have to do is put your death star in gear. unfortunately, most empire motors vehicles have only manual transmissions and still get lousy mileage. the average death star comes with a 426 hemi engine and gets roughly 11 miles per gallon, but those 600+ ponies can really haul it through space. take care.

How did the Death Star move? Well, new guide to vehicles of Star Wars should tell you exactly what you need to know about how the Death Star could get from point A to point B.

it didnt. it simply used nearby planet's orbits to move through space.

As reported by Jabba the Hutt shortly before his untimely demise, Leia liked the Whirlybird.

it seems to me that something as large as the death star would have a hard time traveling through either regular space or hyperspace. maybe it had a series of maneuvering thrusters located at the equator and poles to achieve orbit around planets or stars, but simply warped or compressed the space in front of it for long journeys while actually remaining stationary. also, could the death star create artificial gravity by rotating like a real planet? take care.

This is a really silly question. The Deat Star never moved! Except when it was carried around by the SFX guys. Other times when it looked like it was moving it was just the camera moving - the Death Star stood still.
A better question is whether Leia like it better Face-Down-Kitty-Up or plain old Missionary when Han Solo was rocking her world?

peristaltic motion through wormholes and then forcefully ejected into the toliet bowl of normal space.

the sublight engines are near the equator and repulsors move it most of the time. hyperdrives are also near the equator.
