Project Twilight

Project Twilight, also known as the Sith Superweapon project, was the project that saw to the construction of the Twilight Mobile Battle Station. In 19 BBY, the Confederacy of Independent Systems secretly began construction of Twilight Station on the planet Zygnost, by the order of Confederate Head of State Count Dooku. After the conclusion of the Clone Wars, Dooku's apprentice, Darth Midous, took over the construction project while it was still in operation on Zygnost. After Midous founded the United Front, Twilight Station was moved to Liore after the Galactic Empire discovered it. However, after the Battle of Liore, it was relocated to Braxas, where it finished construction and began initial operations.
==Description==
Project Twilight, formerly referred to as the Sith Superweapon project, was the codename for the Sith effort to create the superweapon known as Twilight Station. Although the project wouldn't produce a complete weapon until 3 BBY, the original efforts began during the Clone Wars when the Far Tech Alliance designed the battle station for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Project Twilight saw to the creation of a superweapon capable of destroying entire star systems, that would be used to target enemies of the Sith so they could achieve galactic domination. Ultimately, Twilight Station was destroyed by the nascent Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Battle of Dantooine, months after its completion.
==History==
===Creation===
Following the First Battle of Geonosis, the Sith Lord Count Dooku tasked the Zygnostians of the Far Tech Alliance with designing Twilight Station. Throughout the Clone Wars, weaponsmiths of Zygnost Munitions, a sub-unit of the Far Tech Alliance, saw to the designs of Twilight Station, and in 19 BBY, the battle station officially began construction on Zygnost.
===Age of the Empire===
After the conclusion of the Clone Wars and the fall of the Galactic Republic, Dooku's apprentice, Darth Midous, took over the project, seeking to avenge his master and advance their plans. Although construction of Twilight Station was put on halt due to uncertainty, Midous visited Zygnost to inform President Koren Lim of his plans for the superweapon. Therefore, Lim had his weaponsmiths resume construction of the superweapon, while Midous sparked a political uprising against the newly formed Galactic Empire. With the founding of the United Front, Midous oversaw the project along with his most trusted apprentices, Darth Arcane and Darth Noctis. As the Director of Intelligence for the Union, Noctis was able to use her authority to convince the Union to divert all funds towards her project until it was complete.
With the start of the Sith Civil War, the Empire stole the designs for Twilight Station and conducted a galactic-wide search for its new location. However, the Empire was unable to locate the superweapon as it was being completed. It wasn't until 3 BBY when Twilight Station was completed and began initial operation in the Braxas system. Shortly after Saw Gerrera and his Partisans deserted from the United Front, Gerrera helped the rebel Phantom Cell steal the Twilight Station plans from the Empire and transmit them to the rebellion on the planet Dantooine. With the plans, rebel leadership was able to discover a weakness in the battle station and prepare for an inevitable attack from the Union. During the battle, Jedi Master Del Morrigan and Jedi Knight Kenan Verso killed Midous and Arcane, then helped destroy the Sith Superweapon, bringing an end to Project Twilight.
