According to the in-game encyclopedia, this battle station of enormous size, 120 kilometers across, represented the highest achievement of Imperial engineering. Chief Engineer Bevel Lemelisk drew up its design, and construction took place over the penal colony of Despyre. For Grand Moff Tarkin, it was the final emblem of ruling through fear of force. Over 750,000 people crewed it, and its firepower could wipe out an entire system. To press Princess Leia Organa into giving away where the Alliance base lay, Tarkin showed off what his creation could do by blowing up the planet Alderaan. Defense against large-scale attacks rests on the superlaser, which destroys worlds, along with a great many turbolasers across its surface, yet small starfighters seem able to threaten it. The Battle of Yavin brought about its destruction later on. Tarkin perished along with it there, and the number of additional Death Stars he was building is not known.<ref name="ency" />
