Ultimate Weapon



"The Jedi must not find our designs for the ultimate weapon! If they find out what we are planning to build, we're doomed."

- Archduke Poggle the Lesser to Count Dooku

The Ultimate Weapon was a Death Star-like weapon started, but never finished, by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The plans for the Great Weapon were developed by the Geonosians and called for a spherical-like battle station capable of destroying Galactic Republic forces and planets under their control. After the end of the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpatine used these designs to create the Galactic Empire's Death Stars that were used during the Galactic Civil War.

Behind the scenes
The Star Wars Technical Commentaries refer to this as the "Great Weapon", and so a number of fans have taken that to be the Ultimate Weapon's name. However, the SWTC is an unofficial production and has a questionable impact on canon.
