Death Star Owner's Technical Manual: Star Wars: Imperial DS-1

Death Star Owner's Technical Manual: Star Wars: Imperial DS-1 Orbital Battle Station
- Used Book in Good Condition
Conceived as the Empireâ‚¬s ultimate weapon, the Death Star battle station is equipped with a planet-shattering superlaser. The station is heavily shielded, defended by TIE starfighters and laser cannons, and invested with firepower greater than that of half the Imperial fleet. The Empireâ‚¬s diabolical leaders have every reason to believe that their technological terror will induce fear across the galaxy. But the Death Star has one flaw.
Â
This Haynes Manual traces the origins of the Death Star, from concept to a top-secret project that begins before the foundation of the Empire, which draws design inspiration from the Trade Federationâ‚¬s spherical warships. In this manual, the Death Starâ‚¬s onboard systems and controls are explained in detail, and are illustrated with an astonishing range of computer-generated artwork, floor plans, cutaways, and exploded diagrams, all newly created by artists Chris Reiff and Chris Trevasâ‚¬"the same creative team behind the Millennium Falcon Ownerâ‚¬s Workshop Manual. Text is by their Falcon colleague Ryder Windham, author of more than fifty Star Wars books.
Â
Covering history, development and prototyping, superstructure, energy and propulsion, weapons and defensive systems, hangar bays, security, service and technical sectors, crew facilities, and with information about the Death Star II and its planetary shield generator, this is the most thorough technical guide to the Death Star available.
Â
This Haynes Manual is fully authorized and approved by Lucasfilm.
