Emperor's Tower

Canon Legends version → Linked from 45 articles

The Emperor's Tower was a mooring tower located at the uppermost northern hemisphere of the second Death Star that housed the throne room of Emperor Palpatine. Its design was reminiscent of the High Council spire of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Elevators allowed transport between the top of the tower and the battle station below. The Emperor's Tower was damaged, along with the second Death Star, during the Battle of Endor, but the structure survived in the oceans of Kef Bir for many years, storing the Emperor's wayfinder.
