Death Star III

"We will start this galactic civil war, reaching from our galaxy, to others, even beyond this world!"

- Darth Vader, to Palpatine, speaking about using the Death Star III to destroy anybody who would oppose the Galactic Empire The Death Star III was built to replace the previously destroyed Death Star II. It was constructed from about 11-15.6-ABY. It was larger and greater than it's predecessor, and provided much greater fire power. As it claimed power for The Galactic Empire once again, it also moved towards an outer galaxy which was gaining power; The Milky Way. Darth Vader sent the Death Star III and an enormous fleet to attack the planet called Earth. Little did they know, that it was defended more than they had previously thought. They fought a long hard battle, in which they almost lost Darth Vader. In the end however, the Emperor Palpatine, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader escaped the tragic destruction of the Death Star III.

Later on, a secret project was started, to build the Death Star IV.
