This depends on whether or not the Confed knows anything about the Death
Star at all. I mean, if they know about the main gun, it wouldn't be that
hard to kill, though it would take a while. Just keep the cap ships REALLY
far away and send fighers and bombers in on the side opposite the main gun.
The fighters start taking out turrets while the bombers just start torpedoing
the crap out of it, all in one place of course. They'd want to send a few
bombers to damage the main gun, which wouldn't be hard since they could run
along the surface and destroy the firing nodes with torpedoes so it couldn't
hope to lock on to them. It would take a really long time, but it's definitely
do-able.
