Depends on the planet, the Earth should have about DR 25,000,000, a gas giant will have less (but be Diffuse).

Well, again, Dark Empire stated that Planetary Shields DO exist, and they CAN stop the Death Star from atomizing the planet like it did Alderaan... BUT, the Death Star will still partially penetrate the shield from overloading it, then the remaining energy of the laser will ignite and burn off the atmosphere. Pain and burning agony. Seems that atomization of the planet thing isn't so bad, is it?
It DOESNT work on gas giants... only on terrestrial type planets. Simple enough. Then, if you use it against something smaller than a planet, well... it's dead.
