I sometimes build a Deathstar it depends on cash supply and my mood. When I do build one I stock it with advanced fighters either TIE Defenders or TIE Raptors. I also include Victory or Victory II's, Carracks, and an Interdicter. Since I typically build at Coruscant there is a DS shield in place to defend it at the home port. I use it to bombard planets as an offensive weapon to sway neutral planets and conquer rebel ones. The only time I actually use the superlaser is to destroy the rebel HQ. I try to build a safe planet with a DS shield in each core sector.-Grand Moff Conway
