        Everything is stationary when velocity is matched. The main issue is a Cube can change its velocity whereas a planet cannot.

        Stationary relative to the station itself.

        When it is in orbit around a planet, there’s little to no net speed differential.

        The Death Star also has a pretty lengthy power-up sequence before it can fire. Good for stationary objects like planets, not stuff that can move at the speeds of a borg cube.
