Starkiller Base was a military base located on the ice planet of Ilum in the Unknown Regions . The base served as a stronghold of the First Order thirty years after the Battle of Endor . Commanded by an unofficial triumvirate of General Armitage Hux , Kylo Ren , and Captain Phasma , it was armed with a superweapon capable of destroying entire star systems halfway across the galaxy . The First Order viewed this ability as an evolution of the planet-destroying capabilities of the Galactic Empire 's Death Star designs, with the weapon serving as the ultimate culmination of old Imperial research into dark energy translations and hyperspace tunneling. The base and planet were ultimately destroyed by a Resistance attack due to a weak point exploited by pilot Poe Dameron , causing the implosion of the entire planet as the superweapon was firing upon the Resistance base on D'Qar . The stored stellar energy then expanded, causing the planet to turn into a star . https://s...

Astromech droids, also referred to as astro droids or mechs, were a type of repair droid that served as an automated mechanic on starships . These compact droids used tool-tipped appendages stored in recessed compartments. Many starfighters relied on astromech copilots to control flight and power distribution systems. Sitting in an astromech socket exposed to space , the droid, in addition to its piloting duties, could calculate hyperspace jumps and perform simple repairs. Most astromechs were only able to communicate in writing, conveyed via another computer system, or through a special code of clicks, bleeps, and similar sounds, known as binary . However, certain other droids, such as C-3PO , could understand the binary code of astromechs, and often translated from binary to other languages. Astromech droids averaged 0.93 meters in height, while R-series droids from the R2 line forward had a height of just over a meter. However, the astromech P2 stood around the same heigh...

The Galactic Empire imposed its yoke through a powerful navy and an army that not only had trained troops, but also vehicles that could be decisive in any battle. Whether with two or four legs, the walkers were key pieces in any battalion. Often inspired by other Republic vehicles, these heavily armored and armored monsters spread panic among enemies. As the ideological heir to the Empire, the First Order was not far behind in that regard and adapted many models of walkers and ground vehicles, improving them in some cases and including them in an armed forces with which they hoped to definitively dominate the entire galaxy. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Walkers_and_Ground_Vehicles_of_the_Empire_and_the_First_Order ------------------------------ Star Wars  is an American  epic   space opera   media franchise  created by  George Lucas , which began with the  eponymous 1977 film  and quickly became a worldwide  pop-culture   phenomenon ....

For three years, a warlike conflict struck almost every corner of the galaxy. The Clone Wars not only claimed billions of victims, but they also came close to ending the Jedi Order. The entire conflict was orchestrated from the shadows by Sheev Palpatine, who, while gaining political strength in the Galactic Republic, manipulated the Confederacy of Independent Systems under his secret identity as Sith Lord Darth Sidious. After years of meticulous preparation, by the time the conflict broke out, the then Supreme Chancellor Palpatine dominated both sides with no one suspecting his public image at all, just as no one imagined the dark times that awaited the galaxy... https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Beginning_of_the_Clone_Wars ------------------------------ Star Wars  is an American  epic   space opera   media franchise  created by  George Lucas , which began with the  eponymous 1977 film  and quickly became a worldwide  pop-culture   p...
