Look.
It was a GREEN WATER BALLON. If water can kill the Wicked Witch of the West, then what chance does a spaceship have? END OF STORY.
The Alliance also has a CKFH(Cheap Kansas Farm House) gun for wimpier targets, in case you were wondering.

I still say plasma. Any reason it couldn't be?
Not much else is going to be a green ball like that (in space, anyway. One thing that always bothered me about the Death Star's laser in Star Wars was -WHY IS IT GREEN- enough ranting). But, as noted, it was 1: Moving kind of slow and 2: Plasma tends to dissipate outside of containment.
However, it's entirely possible it was a sphere launched from a coilgun or something with a magnetic feild strong enough to keep the plasma contained. It might just be a cheaper way to obliterate slow-moving targets in the future.

Side note... could you heat up air enough for it to break down into it's basic elements and combust? Like water in to H and O.
Atomic weapons burn nitrogen, making nitrous oxide. AFAIK that is actually what makes the fire when the nuke goes off. Not much else in the atmosphere to burn.

My guess was actually a rail-gun of some sort... that projectile went completely thru the derelict ship.
History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.
