Of course it did. It just didn't have the kind of shield projected from the forest moon.

It had ray shields at the least, given that the mission briefing specified that even the exhaust port is ray shielded, hence the need for torpedoes in the first place.

I think a million+ ships would be enough, though. A million is a lot.

Funnily enough this exact thing can be performed in OGame, since Deathstars are an actual ship you can build. However, that game has what's called the "bouncing rule", which means if your attack damage is <1% of the shield's strength, it just bounces off and does no damage. So forget millions - you could send septendecillions of Light Fighters, Heavy Fighters or Cruisers (damage 50, 150, 400 respectively) versus one Deathstar (shield strength 50000) and they would make no progress against it.

Obviously this isn't how Star Wars works, the topic just amusingly brought this to mind.
