*The ultimate galactic battle station with astonishing firepower, the Death Star (in both of its incarnations) represented the Empire at its most heinous. Plans for the huge sphere were whisked away from Geonosis by Count Dooku at the start of the Clone Wars, and by the time Luke Skywalker was of age, the immense Death Star was completed and ready for a planet-destroying test. Alderaan became its first target, largely to horrify a captured Princess Leia. Eventually, Death Stars I and II were blown out of the sky by determined, courageous Rebel pilots. *Source: Back of Card.
