Eight separate beam generators came online in the Death Star's heard. Here the process became too much for Krennic to observe in its entirety - a dozen officers on the overbridge alone chattered into their comms, relaying information through a dozen more teams responsible for monitoring and controlling the primary weapon's final ignition. Krennic turned from the technicians to the monitor screens, saw reading gently crest as the eight beams reached minimum conherency.

From the focusing dish on the station's outer shell, the beam of light and charged particles poured into a single vertex controlled and suspended by the kyber fields. The overbridge's main display blazed with green fire set against the void of space, and krennic stepped forward, staring in awe at the conflagration. The radiance of the display splashed over his white uniform, over the black helmets of the technicians, over Tarkin's grave face, and rendered the room in carved emerald.

For a moment, the blazing nexus of energy hung in the void. Krennic tensed involuntarily. This was the moment where so many tests and computer simulations had failed him. He had seen the nexus sputter and die, or expand and consume the station itself. He has seen calculations collapse under their own weight as predictions gave way to haphazard guesswork. He had seen successes, too, but they gave him no confidence now.

Then the last stage was triggered: From the center of the focusing dish came another particle beam, invisible to the human eye. It carved through the nexus and tunneled a path for the energy's release, funneled the conflagration away from the battle station and toward the rust-brown sphere of the Jedha moon.

The atmosphere seemed to flare where the beam struck. Krennic tried to imagine the incineration of the Holy City and the ensuing shock wave. He found his mind failed him.

For once. We agree.
