Tower

In orbit of Endor’s forest moon, the Death Star’s construction continued. A formation of Imperial TIE fighters patrolled the space station’s north pole, sweeping past a highly shielded tower that rose one hundred stories above the surface. The tower was topped by a control post that had been converted into a throne room and private observation chamber for Emperor Palpatine.

The Emperor’s throne was a large, contoured chair with control panels in the arms; the chair rested on an elevated platform below a tall, circular window with radiating panes. A stairway extended down from the platform to the turbolifts and observation gallery. Except for the brightly colored instrument lights that ringed a pair of duty posts near the stairway, everything was black and dark gray, cold and metallic.
