The Death Star, The Death Star Research Facility

The Death Star,The Death Star Research Facility:The Death Star was a moon-sized Imperial military battle station armed with a planet-destroying super laser.

The Death Stars were the first in a long series of super weapons developed to execute the Tar kin Doctrine, but whose concept had been explored even before the Clone Wars. The Death Star was designed to allow Emperor Pal patine to more directly control the Galactic Empire through fear. In most instances, a Death Star was to be commanded by a Moff.

The Death Star was the code name of an unspeakably powerful and horrific weapon developed by the Empire. The immense space station carried a weapon capable of destroying entire planets. The Death Star was to be an instrument of terror, meant to cow treasonous worlds with the threat of annihilation. While the massive station is evidence of the evil that was the Galactic Empire, it was also proof of the New Order’s greatest weakness — the belief that technology and terror were superior to the will of oppressed beings fighting for freedom.

The Death Star was a battle station the size of a small moon. It had a formidable array of turbo lasers and tractor beam projectors, giving it the firepower of greater than half the Imperial star fleet. Within its cavernous interior were legions of Imperial troops and fighter craft, as well as all manner of detention blocks and interrogation cells. The Death Star was spherical, and dark gray in color. Located on the Death Star’s northern hemisphere was a concave disk housing the station’s main laser weapon.

The technical schematics for the Death Star were developed by the cutting edge technologists of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. With the defeat of the Separatists and the Republic’s transformation into Empire, the Death Star project fell under the command of Grand off Tar kin, one the Empire’s preeminent governors. The Death Star was developed in secret, through many difficulties over a span of almost 20 years. Rebel Alliance spies were nonetheless able to learn of the weapon’s existence, and stole vital technical schematics from guarded Imperial vaults. These desperate spies transmitted this data to Rebel leader Princess Leia Organ, who stored the plans in R2-D2’s memory systems.

In a brutal display of the Death Star’s power, Grand Moff Tarkin targeted its prime weapon at the peaceful world of Alderman. Leia Organa, an Imperial captive at the time, was forced to watch as the searing laser blast split apart her beloved world, turning the planet and its populace into orbital ash and debris.
