Death Star, good neighborhood, close to schools and shopping. Fixer upper, $15 Septillion, obo. A Canadian Web designer has calculated the cost of the Death Star that was blown up in Star Wars. His official estimate is a mere $15 septillion. That’s the number 15 followed by 24 zeroes—or about a trillion times the value of Earth. Seems about right to me. Earth has a lot of problems. Death Star only has one—true, it’s a biggie, but nothing a bunch of steel wouldn’t cure. Details at the Wookiepedia Read More URL below.  The Death Star was a moon-sized Imperial military battlestation armed with a planet-destroying superlaser.
The Death Stars were the first in a long series of superweapons developed to execute the Tarkin Doctrine, but whose concept had been explored even before the Clone Wars. The Death Star was designed to allow Emperor Palpatine to more directly control the Galactic Empire through fear. In most instances, a Death Star was to be commanded by a Moff.
One Death Star was completely built by the Empire, with the second one never reaching full completion, as well as a prototype being in existence. In addition, a scaled-down version, the Tarkin, and a Hutt knockoff, the Darksaber, would be created by the Empire and Durga the Hutt, respectively.
Both Death Stars were destroyed by the Rebel Alliance shortly after they became operational, with the first Death Star destroyed by Luke Skywalker, with the help of Han Solo, and the second one destroyed by Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian. Following their destruction, other planet-devastating superweapons followed, including the Galaxy Gun, the Sun Crusher, and the World Devastators.
