A point to remember people, I can safely assume that the rating your givving MACs is the muzzle-energy? but we must all remember that the thermo-nuclear yeild is NOT rated in an anctual unit of energy, it is rated in the amount of a more conventional high explosive (TNT officialy) that would be need to produce an equivelent explosion. ergo: (with 30 megatone sub-warheads and exactly 100x) 27 Billion metric tons of TNT would be needed to produce the same results. Likely much more.

I'm not sure how valid the calculator is (http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Science/Nuke.html) but in order to get a blast big enough to hit both a small moon and at least a quarter of a planet, the figures point out a tonnage of at least 1,000,000,000 megatons. that's assumeing that Malhiem (qouted as "Tiny") is similar to the Martian moon Deimos and is in orbit at approximatly 20,000 kilometers. This would truely be a planet killer, and rightly deserves the name.
