The Journal of the Galactic Civil War
68 ABY"Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station." - Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin
"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." - Senator Leia Organa
A more rigorous examination of the events of 0 BBY will show that, while the year is just as pivotal to Galactic history as it usually assumed, the emphasis has often been misplaced. In truth, while the Death Star project did prove to be central to the Galactic Empire’s undoing, the fatal blow came not from DS-01’s destruction at the hands of Luke Skywalker, but from the political implications of the project writ large. It would be going too far to say that the Battle of Yavin was irrelevant, but it would be accurate to say that by the time the Battle Station arrived in the Yavin System, the balance in the Galactic Civil War had already irrevocably shifted, though in ways that would not become apparent for months and years to come.
