SUMMARY Steal the blueprints to the galaxy's most feared "Sphere of Fear", the Death Star, and deliver it into the hands of the Rebellion, or safely return it to the archives of the Empire! With this free custom model of the Death Star Plans that I hammered out in Photoshop and Illustrator using reference photos and creating the model in 3D software, the choice of alliance and loyalty is yours! WOOKIEPEDIA ARTICLE The Death Star plans, codenamed "Stardust" by Galen Erso, were the blueprints of the first Death Star, an Imperial superweapon based on Geonosian designs. Stolen during the Battle of Scarif by the Rogue One squad at the cost of heavy Rebel losses, the remaining copy of these blueprints was transmitted to Princess Leia Organa's starship and into the hands of members of the Rebel Alliance, stationed aboard the Tantive IV. However, as the ship arrived at Tatooine to ferry Kenobi to Alderaan, it was intercepted by the Devastator, and Organa, in a desperate gamble, entrusted the blueprints to the memory systems of the astromech droid R2-D2. He and the protocol droid C-3PO were then sent in an escape pod to Tatooine, where they eventually ended up being purchased by Owen Lars from Jawas, who gave them to Luke Skywalker to look after. R2-D2, however, determined to fulfill the mission given to him by Organa, tricked Skywalker into removing his restraining bolt so that he could seek out Kenobi. Luke, worried about his uncle's reaction, sought out R2 in the Jundland Wastes, where he was rescued by the very Kenobi that the R2 series astromech droid was seeking. The group returned to Kenobi's home, where Kenobi discovered that R2-D2 was carrying a message for him from Organa explaining that R2 was carrying information vital to the survival of the Rebellion that needed to be delivered to Alderaan, but that the Tantive IV had been captured by the Empire. The group secured passage to Alderaan aboard the Millennium Falcon, piloted by Han Solo and Chewbacca. Upon the ship's exit from hyperspace at the planet's coordinates, however, they discovered that it been completely obliterated by the very vessel whose stolen plans R2-D2 was carrying. The group managed to hide from the Empire and, in sneaking aboard the vessel to disable its tractor beam, found that Organa was being held prisoner there. The group, sans Kenobi, hatched a plan to rescue her, while Kenobi disabled the tractor beam. Though Kenobi was killed in a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader, the remainder of the group escaped and made their way to Yavin 4. There, the stolen plans were brought to the leaders of the Rebellion as the Empire pursued the tracked Millennium Falcon to the location. Upon examination, the Rebels discovered the work of Galen Erso, a scientist forced to participate in the Death Star's design and construction: a subtle sabotage of the Death Star's design to include a flaw in the superlaser reactor by which a pressurized explosion would cause a chain reaction that would destroy the entire station. The Rebels determined the best way to reach the reactor was for a starfighter to fire proton torpedoes into a two-meter-wide thermal exhaust port that led directly to the station's power core, and thus planned an attack with that objective, having observed the Death Star's defenses were built to withstand assaults from larger vessels. Although the target was considered a highly difficult one, and the resulting Battle of Yavin resulted in heavy casualties with Darth Vader coming within a hairsbreadth of defeating the attack, Skywalker, with the aid of the Force, was ultimately able to fire two proton torpedoes perfectly into the port to destroy the Death Star.
