The decision stunned personnel across the entire station, from Superlaser Fire Control to Admiral Motti himself. The Horuz system had been largely emptied by the construction project's resource-gathering efforts, leaving Despayre itself as the only suitable target within sublight range. Tarkin himself chose the site for the superlaser's first controlled test. However, Tarkin wished to test the functionality of the superlaser in a more controlled fashion than its first firing. Admiral Conan Antonio Motti, the station's operational commander, concurred. Following this, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, the overall leader of the Death Star project, made the decision to relocate the station. The Rebels captured the frigate Priam to learn the location of the construction site, and then sent the Lucrehulk-class carrier Fortressa on a mission to destroy the Death Star, which led to the first operational use of the station's superlaser-bringing a swift end to the Rebel assault. Leading up to 0 BBY, the Alliance to Restore the Republic launched progressively grander efforts to stall the project. Slaves from all over the galaxy had labored long and hard in order to finish construction on Emperor Palpatine's newest superweapon. Prior to its destruction, Despayre was a world covered with life.ДЇor approximately two years, the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station, more commonly known as the Death Star, had undergone construction in orbit of the penal colony world of Despayre, a site chosen for its location in a distant corner of the Outer Rim Territories where the Imperial Senate and HoloNet media would be unlikely to observe. ' For practice ? Just to see how well it'll work?' вЂ• Tenn Graneet The shock was felt by Force-sensitives, both trained and untrained. The incident caused a shift in the gravitational configuration of the Horuz system, and was a major wound in the Force, as millions of lives were terminated almost instantly. The destruction of Despayre was one of only three recorded uses of the Death Star's superlaser. Tarkin decided without hesitation to sacrifice Despayre, and a few days before the Battle of Yavin, the planet was destroyed. A proper test firing required a terrestrial world, and the penal colony was the only suitable location in sublight range.

The interior was near completion and the hyperdrive was functional, but the Grand Moff decided it was necessary to test the superlaser before getting under way. After discovery of the site by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the project's leader, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, decided to move the station. The prison planet Despayre was the final construction site of the first Death Star, where assembly of the space station's superlaser took place. The Destruction of Despayre was a cataclysmic event that occurred in 0 BBY, following the attack on the first Death Star.
