What would a pair of Death Stars do to Earth?

+0
−0

Y'all should know by now that I want to build a Death Star ;-)

Let's assume that we did that already -- and against the odds, we've built two of them, and they're currently in orbit around a planet; let's say planet Earth.

What would happen to our planet if two extra [metal] moons joined our orbit?

  • Tides would probably be affected; how?
  • Would sunlight patterns be affected?
  • Would there be differences if these gargantuan constructs stayed in place over one spot, or if they had a moon-like orbit?
  • Anything other major effects that I'm missing?
