The so-called Emperor's Tower served as the residence, seat of power and command center of Emperor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Empire, aboard the second Death Star battlestation. Designed by Bevel Lemelisk and inspired by the spires of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, its penultimate story had a quadripartite structure, housing a giant holomap, a throne room, private quarters and a docking ring. It was destroyed along with the rest of the Death Star during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY.
