“Stalemate in Space” by Charles L. Harness, Planet Stories, Summer 1949.

Even though this story was reprinted as “Stalemate in Time” in the 1960s, it still was just a battle between two death stars. No time travel.

—Michael Main

For twenty years, in company with her great father, she had watched The Defender grow from a vast metal skeleton into a planet-sized battle globe.
