After the
destruction of the first Death Star, the Emperor ordered the
construction of a second planet-destroying space station
even larger than the first. Assembled in orbit around the
emerald moon of Endor, the second Death Star is protected
by an energy shield projected from the planet surface
below. This titanic weapon is only part of an
insidious plan to draw the Rebels into doomed combat, for
the Death Star's incomplete structure hides its full
operational capabilities, and it is a giant trap waiting
to fatally ensnare the Rebel Fleet. |
