Death Star

A Death Star was a gargantuan space station armed with a planet-destroying superlaser.

DS-1 Orbital Battle Station
The DS-1 Orbital Battle Station was originally designed by the Geonosians before the Galactic Republic and later the Galactic Empire took over the project. However, the plans for the battle station were stolen by the Rebel Alliance from Scarif, leading to its destruction by Luke Skywalker during the Battle of Yavin in 1977, but not before it unleashed its planet-destroying powers on Alderaan.

DS-2 Orbital Battle Station
The DS-2 Orbital Battle Station (commonly known as Death Star II) began construction soon after the destruction of the first Death Star. Construction on this station took place over Endor where a shield generator was located. in 1983, this station was destroyed by the Rebel Alliance during the Battle of Endor which also saw the death of Emperor Palpatine and the redemption of Anakin Skywalker.

DS-3 Orbital Battle Station
The DS-3 Orbital Battle Station (commonly known as Death Star III) began construction in 1996 and was finished by 2001. It was used to destroy the planet KO-35 as punishment by the Empire for the alleged treason of Karone Khayman in 1998. It was destroyed soon after during the Battle of Eltar by a United States Marine Corps fighter squadron that included Karone's brother Bryan Khayman who fired the fatal shots that took out the station and led by Captain Steven Laramie.

DS-4 Orbital Battle Station
The DS-4 Orbital Battle Station (commonly known as Death Star IV) began construction in 2001 over the planet Gratha. Like Death Star II, it too was protected by a deflector shield generated from the nearby planet. It was destroyed in 2003 by a strike force from Earth with Khayman and Laramie firing the fatal shots that took out this station.

Death Star Prototype
While the first Death Star was under construction, a prototype was built by the scientists at Maw Installation to test components. This was destroyed in 1990 by Kyp Durron who used the Sun Crusher to bait it into a black hole during a battle between the Empire and the New Republic.

Darksaber
In 1991, Durga the Hutt had the plans to the Death Star stolen from Coruscant and worked with Bevel Lemelisk who helped create the first two Death Stars to create a scaled-down version of the weapon that resembled a Jedi Lightsaber. This weapon was plagued with shoddy construction, malfunctioning systems, and other issues that it was defective from the start and quickly destroyed in the Hoth Asteroid Belt with the New Republic capturing and sentencing Lemelisk to death soon after.

First Order Death Star
In 2019, members of the Spectres discovered that the First Order had begin construction on its own version of the weapon. The current status of this weapon's construction is unknown, although it will likely be destroyed by the year 2023 with Laramie and members of the Spectres taking part in what is possibly a Remnant-led operation.
