Oh! That’s the confusion. The Death Star wouldn’t be able to cancel out is orbital velocity in any meaningful time frame, but I get what you’re saying. Its engines are tiny compared to its size.
It’s comparable to saying the ISS is a mobile space station because it can use the engines on the Soyuz to adjust its orbit (in terms of thrust to weight, not mechanics, since the Death Star has its own engines)
