I don't understand how it could be an outlier when you have feats such as an ISD vaporizing half a mountain with a single shot (Star Wars Adventures comics), large cities (really large) being reduced to a "black smudge" with a single shot (Phasma novel), orbital bombardments causing planet-wide "tectonic spasms" (Aftermath: Life Debt), an ISD's turbolasers' clearly denuding an entire landmass visible from thousands of kilometres away in orbit (Catalyst novel), task forces of ISDs laying waste to planets in mere hours (bombing of Caamas in Legends), a CIS fleet life-wiping a planet in hours (destruction of Humbarine in Legends), Admiral Carlou Gendling threatening to lay waste to Umbara with a single ISD (Canon Thrawn novel), Arquitens-class light cruiser turbolasers causing explosions on a planet's surface which are visible from orbit (Thrawn novel and its comic adaptation), shots from an ISD's turbolasers causing and ocean to boil and unleashing "tsunami-scale events" (Thrawn novel), three ISDs laying waste to much of a planet's northern hemisphere in the time it took to settle a lightsaber duel (Canon Vader comics), the Executor being capable of busting a small moon sized body with an all batteries barrage (Lost Stars novel), even freaking tractor beams can cause city level devastation if used within planetary atmospheres (Smuggler's Run novel).

However, I will say this: I do not buy Fractalsponge and Michael Wong's estimates of heavy turbolasers with yields of double to triple digit Teratons. That is hilarious wank based on some random backwards-scaling from Base Delta Zero considerations.
