To Rebel Command: By the light of Lothal’s moons…
An abominable machine of mass destruction. Built by known Imperial Scientist and weapons developer Galen Erso.
Weapon is capable of effective hyperspace travel despite its size, relative to a small moon.
Weapons full power has fortunately not yet been displayed but can be expected to be devastating. As of now, Jeddah city and Imperial base of operations on Scarif have been destroyed, both attacks rumoured to be merely test subjects.
They call it “The Death Star”. It is not merely a weapon but a fully functional space station. Destroying it will be a fatal blow to the Empire. The station is equipped with barracks for thousands of troops, a mess hall, command centres, and numbers of hangers flooded with TIE’s ( Latest from Lothal factory and more that I’ve never seen ), and shuttles for evacuation. Larger hangers hold Light cruisers, troop transports and gunships.
Be warned: Weapons next target will be the Rebel Alliance military base. They are too nearsighted to have tracked us down but Governor Tarkin and Vader have gotten involved so we must be weary. Do not underestimate them, and stay prepared for anything.
The only way to destroy it is by taking a small fighter down the equatorial trench and firing ion torpedoes through a 2 metre opening that leads to the main reactor. Chances of success are low but not impossible. Only a skilled, experienced and creative pilot will successfully make the shot.
I repeat: Do not underestimate them.
We are outnumbered and outgunned, but have faith and don’t lose hope. There will come a brighter day.
Godspeed Rebels, and may the force be with us all.
Fulcrum out.
