Question Hi, I have a technical Star Wars question I hope you can help me with. Where exactly on the first Death Star are the sublight engines located? According to the literature I've read, my best guess is that there are two sublight engines located on the Death Star's equator, one on the outer edge of the left side and the other on the outer edge of the right side of the station (left and right if you consider the superlaser dish the front of the Death Side). Is this correct? And from what I gather, the two engines power a network of thrusters ringing the equator, but the thrusters themselves are not the actual engines, just the outlets for the two real engines. Can you please confirm this for me? Thank you very much for your help!
Answer HI, the death star sublight engines lie on both sides of the equator as you mention and a hyperdrive system that lies in the mid section as well. As for where does the thrust come from that is outside my level of expertise. Perhaps you can consult one of those books that depict a cross section of the star wars ships. I'm sorry I can't help you any further.
Best regards,
