Revell 06756 Imperial Star Build & Play

The Death Star, officially called the GS-1 Orbital Battle Station, is probably the most powerful combat unit from the Star Wars universe. She first appeared on the theatrical screen in the 1977 movie "Star Wars: The New Hope". It is assumed that The Death Star had - according to different sources - from 120 to 160 kilometers in diameter, with the same height, which made it a practically perfect sphere. The following plants were responsible for the implementation of this insanely complex project: Advanced Weapons Research, Kuat Drive Yards and Sienar Fleet Systems. The crew of this orbital station could consist of more than 1.1 million[sic!] living creatures. Its main armament was a superlaser (official name: Mark I Super Laser). With this weapon, the Death Star was able to destroy entire planets with one shot, which fully confirmed the correctness of its name. It is worth adding that the Death Star project was created before the clone wars, but its implementation lasted from 20 BBY to 9 BBY, and it was the time of building the hull itself. The Superlaser was not installed on the unit until the year 0 BBY. It is also worth adding that the destruction of the Death Star by the Rebel forces during the great battle of Yavin has also become an element of the dating of the history of the Republic and the Empire, because the abbreviation BBY comes from the phrase "Before Battle of Yavin".

Imperial I-class Star Destroyer is a space destroyer from the Star Wars universe, fighting in the ranks of the Galactic Empire. He first appeared on the screen in the movie "Star Wars: A New Hope" (I or IV part of the saga). The ship has extensive on-board weapons, including, among others, laser cannons and ion cannons. It is also able to carry several dozen TIE fighters and related ships as well as AT-AT and AT-ST walkers. The length of the vehicle was up to 1,600 meters. The drive is provided by seven ion motors. Imperial I-class space destroyers were designed at the Kuat Driver Yards and were initially manufactured there. They were commissioned during the Clone Wars in 19 BBY and later serve primarily in the Galactic Empire against the Rebellion as the primary heavy ship of its fleet. Their main task was to act as flagship units in strike teams, artillery combat with large enemy ships, but also to act as a base ship for ground attacks on foreign planets led by stormtrooper units and walking machines.
