Emperor's Throne Room/Legends

The throne room of the second Death Star served as the seat of the Galactic Emperor while he was away from Coruscant and the Imperial Palace. Once occupied, the throne room would be Palpatine's final home before his death during the battle over Endor in 4 ABY at the hands of his apprentice, Darth Vader.

History
The Emperor's throne room on the second Death Star was on the top of a 100-story tower located on the north pole of the superweapon. It was his command center that had access to all systems on the station. It was also protected by several turbolaser turrets and more shielded than any other part of the station. The common circular viewport lined with the web-like framework provided an amazing view for Palpatine, while armrest controls kept him in touch with his countless minions. Barracks for a legion of Royal Guards and various living quarters for his advisors were included at the tower's foot.

Layout
All entrances to the throne room were lined with security scanners and traps to prevent intruders from coming in, in addition to being guarded by Sidious' loyal Royal Guards. There was also a docking rig for his personal shuttle to dock, chambers for receiving guests that bore resemblance to his quarters on Coruscant, a sleep chamber that monitored his health, and a massive holographic map of the galaxy which was also used to find out which planets or star systems are to be subjugated and/or punished.

The throne room itself was in many ways similar to his throne room in the EmPal SuRecon Center. The tower was intentionally constructed to resemble the central spire on the Jedi Temple. However, while the Jedi Temple spire had four smaller supporting towers, this tower had none, serving as a visual metaphor stating that the Sith stand alone. It would become the site of his first death in 4 ABY.
