Summary
The Empire is one of the great technological governmentsStar Warshas ever seen , and even though it was destroyed by the Rebellion , theAhsokaseries proves just how much it managed to reach . Palpatine ’s Empire could n’t last because of the corruptionand fraudulence it fostered ; Imperial officers would n’t hesitate to stab one another in the back if it meant climb up the Empire ’s ranks sooner . Therefore , Palpatine created the Death Star to keep both the Empire and the system it governed in check . And while bothDeath Stars were great achievement , they blench in comparison to the Empire ’s true sizeableness .
in the end , the Empire collapse in on itself after the destruction of the Second Death Star . Without a monumental , planet - destroying superweapon to keep itself afloat , many of the Imperials gave up the fight against the Rebellion . This left much of the Empire ’s technology — peculiarly the countless Imperial Star Destroyers — in the hands of the New Republic . However , The Mandalorianseason 3 shows the Supreme Chancellor of the New Republic , Mon Mothma , decide to cut up up andsalvage most of the Empire ’s telling warships rather than utilise them — as her colleague Leia suggested — to protect and serve the fledge New Republic .
The Empire was the backdrop for much of the mankind - construction in the original Star Wars trilogy , but what did the regime ’s reign really look like ?
The Eye Of Sion Consumed A Staggering Amount Of Power
TheAhsokaseries show Morgan Elsbeth and Baylan Skoll salve several parts from old majestic ship to buildthe Eye of Sion , the big hyperspace pack seen inStar Wars . Hyperspace ring first appeared inStar warfare : Episode II - Attack of the Cloneson a much smaller scurf . The construct behind them is simple ; hyperspace rings were add - ons for ships too small for a hyperdrive . Obi - Wan Kenobi ’s heavyset and agile Eta-2 Actis - class Jedi Interceptor miss a hyperdrive , which is why he apply a hyperspace hoop in ordination to attain Kamino out in the far reaches of Wild Space .
The Eye of Sion takes George Lucas ’ hyperspace ring mind even further . While a standard Imperial Star Destroyer possesses a Class-2 hyperdrive ( and a Class-8 backup hyperdrive ) , it was only sufficient enough to go between planets in the galaxy far , far away . And even then , inBuild the Millennium Falcon # 23 , one Imperial Star Destroyer was said to use“more sensitive power in one hyperdrive jump than many planetary nations would use up during their entire world . ”Nevertheless , the Eye of Sion boast not one , but seven Imperial hyperdrives . Making it one of the most costly ship in existence .
Morgan Elsbeth and Baylan Skoll ’s saving of Grand Admiral Thrawn may very well have been the most expensive journeying in Star Wars ' history .

As if the Elsbeth ’s hyperspace anchor ring was n’t impressive enough , the seven hyperdrives it used were not distinctive Class-2 drives that amount from standard Imperial Star Destroyers . rather , the Eye of Sion used SSD - class ( Class-1)hyperdrives that were commonly seen aboard Super Star Destroyerssuch as Darth Vader ’s flagship Executor run into in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi . These enormous hyperdrives were intend to catapult some of the Empire ’s largest ships throughout the extragalactic nebula , but Morgan Elsbeth refit them to build the Empire ’s last on-key outstanding achievement : the Eye of Sion .
trip at hyperspace in the Star Wars galaxy does n’t imply you’re able to ignore gravitational force , yet the Rise of Skywalker seems to transgress this formula .
Hypedrive Configurations Boost A Ship’s Speed
The “ class ” rating for hyperdrives not only represents the cost of cognitive operation , but also the speed at which the ship traveled . Class-1 hyperdrives are able to reach their destination almost twice as fast as Class-2 , with lower year being even slower . Therefore , the Eye of Sion ’s seven Class-1 hyperdrives were n’t of necessity installed to reach bully distances . Instead , the sheer act of hyperdrives was needed to make the journey between galaxies as chop-chop as potential . If the Eye of Sion were down even one hyperdrive , its potential Elsbeth and Skoll ’s journeying to chance Thrawn would have taken days , or even weeks .
The right form of a hyperdrive also greatly ameliorate the speed of the ship . The Eye of Sion used two clusters of three Class-1 hyperdrives on either side , and a final individual Class-1 at the bottom . This configuration was just a epitome , since nothing like the Eye of Sion had ever been build before . Even Huyang , who has roughly 25,000 years of history stored in his databank , had never seen anything as brawny as the Eye of Sion . In other Logos , while the galaxy had realise big , planet - destroy superweapons before , it had never seen a hyperspace ring like this .
InThe High Republicnovels , some of the galaxy ’s more optimum hyperspace configuration are discovered . This only further solidifies just how telling the Eye of Sion was . The Empire never intended for the Class-1 hyperdrives in its Super Star Destroyers to be used for extragalactic locomotion , but because Elsbeth and Skoll stole them from the New Republic and repurposed them , they were capable to make something beyond the Empire ’s pipe dream . Of course , Palpatine likely intended to one 24-hour interval conquer other galaxies once he entirely dominated theStar Warsone , but he never got to that part of his plan .
Reaching Another Galaxy Should’ve Been Impossible… But The Empire Succeeded
Scientifically speaking , extragalactic travel with a single hyperspace jump should be impossible . At the very least , due to the distance , one would have no estimate where they ’d come forth after making such a journey . TheAhsokaseries makes it clear thateven the slightest misestimation could result in the Eye of Sion landing somewhere totally unknown . Nevertheless , with the assistance of Arcana Star Map and the henge at Seatos , Morgan Elsbeth is able to successfully navigate the path to Peridea and deliverance Thrawn from his exile .
Having successfully made the voyage to and from Perdiea , the Eye of Sion has done what no ship ever has . According to some of the old records , the ancient antecedent of the Nightsisters tame the Purrgil and used them to travel to the currentStar Warsgalaxy . Therefore , the only known organism who could make special astronomical travel were the Purrgil . But Elsbeth , on behalf of the fallen imperium , did the unimaginable by artificially take in the journey back to Peridea on the Eye of Sion . Now , the Empire has discovered a reliable means of traveling between galaxies .
In conclusion , the Empire ’s greatest technological achievement pass off long after it was destroy . While the Death Stars were some of the magnanimous and most formidable weapon system ever built , the Eye of Sion has the potential drop to broaden the sizing of the known universe . The Death Star was a finite space station , butthe Eye of Sion start the doorway to non-finite possibilities . Star Warshas only shown us a fraction of what unexampled technology and species lie beyond the reaches of this galaxy , andAhsokaseason 2 will in all likelihood continue to formulate the Empire ’s greatest achievement .
