Resonance torpedo
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
A resonance torpedo was a missile that was capable of causing a star to supernova. It was the primary weapon of the Sun Crusher.
Upon detonation, a resonance torpedo dissolved metals and expanded into a massive explosion. The explosion then disbalanced the fusion reactions of a star, causing it to supernova. This massive explosion would cause any nearby stars or objects of matter to explode as well, causing a chain reaction powerful enough to destroy a whole star system.
