Death Stars Edit

DS-1 Orbital Battle Station Edit

The DS-1 Orbital Battle Station[9] was originally designed by the Geonosians before the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire took over the project.[4] However, the plans for the battle station were stolen by the Rebel Alliance from Scarif,[5] leading to its destruction at the Battle of Yavin, but not before it unleashed its planet-destroying powers on Alderaan.[8]

DS-2 Death Star Edit

After the destruction of the first Death Star, the DS-2 Death Star was the second Death Star constructed by the Galactic Empire and was designed to be more powerful than the original. During the Battle of Endor, the Death Star II was not fully completed and the Rebels used the unfinished superstructure of the battle station against it, destroying the weapon as they had its predecessor.[7]
