Yeah yeah, but this could be the Death Star II maybe, I don't know. But Mimas doesnt have the trench (aka mountain range

) that this does. There is room in our solar system for two Death Stars i suppose. Any more will not do.

Well sheesh, where is the Alliance when you need them, the Death Star is mating when we arent looking... But Tethys i dont think is as Death Star-ish.

Now, if we found a moon that had that equatorial ridge AND the major, centrally-peaked crater, I would really start getting suspicious.....

I suppose you mean equatorial trench, cause Iapetus already has an "equatorial ridge and centrally peaked crater" as you put it. Now if we found one with an equatorial trench... Interesting. I think it is just a common feature for some moons to have huge craters that look like death star guns. If you think about it, the Death Star isn't really that complex of a shape lol. So I'd say we are bound to find more moons that have craters like that. But that ridge is really something different.
