Now I know where to start, my first thoughts for the Adversary-class were that it might be a Death Star-equivalent, but I'm not convinced. [No, that can't be right, it's way too small. The reference to 'glittering armor' might be a clue.] My space opera pop culture is a bit rusty.
I suspect you'd need to look to Japanese cartoons for that one. That spinal weapon has a whole Wave Motion Cannon vibe to it. It's not intended to be the Death Star. Its weapon only blows up cities or battlefleets.
