[Star Wars] I'm planning the attack on the first Death Star. How many starfighters can I send on the attack run before Tarkin considers it a viable threat and properly defends the Death Star?

Let's assume a significant portion of the rebel fleet happens to be in nearby systems to Yavin and can be used for the mission.

Pfft, starfighters? Against the Death Star? Maybe a million. The DS-1 Orbital Battlestation is 160km in diameter, and it boasts more than twenty thousand varying laser batteries, cannons, and turrets. Attacking such a structure with *starfighters* is absurd; any such move by the rebels could only be a feint designed to pull resources away from a plausible attack, or perhaps a hopeless suicide attack born of justifiable despair. Either way, the turbolaser batteries are more than capable of fending off starfighters.
