Imperial throne room (Death Star I)

The throne room of the first Death Star served as the seat of the Galactic Emperor while he was away from Coruscant and the Imperial Palace, as well as a means to oversee the Death Star's construction.

History
After the High Command of the Rebel Alliance was exposed to the Empire, and were detained, they were brought before Palpatine where he was to sentence them to be tortured, give him the names of all of the Rebel forces and their allies and then end up executed in public, as well as promising that he will ensure that their executions are very painful to destroy any chances of future revolts. Galen Marek managed to break in to save his friends, also critically injuring Darth Vader in a duel, to which Palpatine then ordered Galen Marek to kill Vader so he could take Vader's place as Palpatine's apprentice. However, Palpatine then tortured Rahm Kota with Force lightning when he attempted to strike Palpatine down so Marek won't have to turn to the Dark Side. Palpatine and Marek then duelled each other via force abilities, with Palpatine eventually ending up defeated, with Palpatine attempting to goad Marek into killing him so he could turn to the dark side. However, with Kota's help, Marek refused to give in, and Marek later sacrificed himself to allow his friends to escape the Emperor and his forces. As a result of Marek's sacrifice, the Emperor's throne room ended up heavily damaged. It is unknown if the throne room ended up repaired prior to the Death Star's destruction two years later.

Layout
The throne room was situated right near the Concave Dish Composite Beam Superlaser. The outside area of the throne room was a room with a central pillar with four entry points on each wall, similar to the future Death Star II. In the center was a red energy field that was presumably used as a temporary floor as is was incomplete at the time. The south area contained a hallway leading to the Conclave Dish area, whereas the north led to the inner sanctum. The inner sanctum contained a large dias with a long hall platform leading to the Emperor's area. A shield generator comes up to prevent the Emperor from being attacked, and also as a means to prevent escape from the Emperor.
