Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Summary

During the climactic Battle of Scarif inRogue One : A Star Wars Story , Jyn Erso andCassian Andorcome across a tilt of secret royal projects in the information hurdle . This listing of names , including War Mantle , Stardust , and Mark Omega , is properly mysterious , and has puzzled viewers since 2016 . Since then , Star Warshas extend on a few of those names in various places . James Luceno ’s novelCatalyst , which expands upon Galen Erso ’s role in creating the Death Star , talk on the ground of these projects .

Each separate department of the struggle station project had its own cover name and cover agency , and Galen was n’t alone in working for a counterfeit part and sustain his research put to alternative United States of America . Scattered across the galaxy were teams of scientists play on conventional arms , tractor ray and hyperdrive technology , even hull cladding systems . Each projection was concealed behind name like Stellar Sphere , Mark Omega , and Pax Aurora .

This confirm that some of these gens actually had something to do with the development ofthe Death Star , just in unlike departments . As a space place the sizing of a small lunation , the Death Star ’s founding was an unbelievably large project , which explains how big of a responsibility this was - especially considering that the whole matter had to be done in arcanum . Knowing this , it ’s easy to understand these Imperial project , and what they all are .

When Rogue One : A Star Wars Story come out , it answered a 40 - twelvemonth - one-time Star Wars mystery . Here ’s a template to its cast , characters , and cameo .

7Project War Mantle

Replacing Clones With Human Soldiers

One of the projection code names refer is War Mantle , which was a secret until the events ofThe Bad Batchseason 1 in 2021 in an sequence titled " War - Mantle . " The series develops the musical theme into the task that was establish following the execution ofOrder 66 , which led to the creative activity of the stormtrooper programme . The main goal of War Mantle was to replace theclones of Jango Fettwith human enlistee .

TK-Troopers: The First Stormtroopers

The new human enlistee made up the rootage of the Empire ’s sack away from the nonesuch ofthe Galactic Republic . After the Clone Wars , it was crucial for them to create a Modern indistinguishability , and War Mantle help with that . The human trooper were known as TK - troopers and had novel armour , displacing a circle of ringer and possibly forcing them to be on the street without a purpose- as seen inObi - Wan Kenobi . What this information is doing on Scarif near 20 years later , though , is the genuine question .

6Project Stardust

The Death Star’s Superlaser

The most iconic one of these labor is Project Stardust , the team led by Galen Erso and the subject ofRogue One . Stardust , as it turns out , is the code name for the Death Star , whichthe Rebel Allianceneeds to slip and deliver to Princess Leia . Named after Jyn Erso ’s childhood nickname , Galen plant that clue in memory of his lost daughter , lead to the successful gaining control of the plans . Project Stardust is the special name that allowed the Rebels to put down the Death Star .

Project Stardust is the extra name that set aside the Rebels to destroy the Death Star .

Just The Superlaser?

The quotation mark above fromCatalyst , though , draw in into question what Project Stardust really is . If the Death Star ’s growing really was so immense that it required completely separate department to be working covertly yet in continuative with each other , what if Stardust was not the intact Death Star , but just its weapons and energy systems ? This would make perfect common sense , weigh Galen Erso even believe for a while that his labor was actually to bring ability to impoverished universe . It ’s potential that Project Stardust is simply the vigour and superweapon side of the Death Star .

5Project Stellar Sphere

The Death Star – In Some Way

Next is Project Stellar Sphere , also mentioned in the same tilt in bothRogue OneandCatalyst . While a direct correlation coefficient between Stellar Sphere and a specific intiative has not been confirmed yet , there are a few decided possibleness . After all , it is advert in the same breath as Stardust , andCatalystdoes imply it has something to do with the Death Star .

The Body And Frame Of The Death Star?

While its exact meaning is unsung , the terminal figure " Stellar Sphere " could perfectly be a computer code name for the body and frame of the Death Star . As a colossal space station , there must have been so much employment to do to make it operable , and that includes the spherical framing of the station . Perhaps this global material body , as seen in the epilogue ofRevenge of the Sith , is what Stellar Sphere advert to . It ’s a possibility – but the the true is still strange .

4Project Mark Omega

The Death Star & Omega?

Once again , Mark Omega was a undertaking name that was mention inCatalystas mayhap being small-scale section of the Death Star labor . While it ’s circumscribed to the same amount of information on it as Stellar Sphere , the name does n’t give looker much to ruminate about , either . Still , it should not be completely brush off that the name " Omega " is included in the task , likeOmega fromThe Bad Batch – which has already tied into regal projection like War Mantle .

Star war : The Bad Batch time of year 3 ’s premiere didder Star Wars history to the core . But what does the conclusion mean for Omega and Palpatine ?

3Project Pax Aurora

The Death Star Brings Peace?

Similar to Mark Omega , Pax Aurora is another secretive , scientific sounding name that ’s not make love much about . Though it was connected to the Death Star as well , and the name in reality might contain a hint towards what Pax Aurora could mean . In Latin , " pax " intend " peacefulness " and " sunrise " have in mind " dayspring " , so perhaps Pax Aurora was the name of the Empire ’s propaganda initiative surrounding the Death Star . The goal of the station was to play an oppressive " peace " to the galaxy , after all .

The destination of the station was to get an oppressive " peace " to the galaxy , after all .

2Project Black Saber

The Mandalorian Darksaber

A name that stuck out to viewers immediately was Black Saber , which reminded fans ofthe famous Darksaber . Thisblack Mandalorian lightsaber , built in the Old Republic earned run average by Tarre Vizsla , was first featured inThe Clone Wars , then appeared inRebels . Not much later , The Mandalorianrevealed that it was in Imperial self-will for a long metre – take to this speculation . The Empire may have kept tabs on this hallowed and powerful Mandalorian weapon system in the information hurdle on Scarif .

The Legends Darksaber Was A Superweapon

1Project Cluster Prism

Unknown

last is Project Cluster Prism , of which almost nothing is known . It ’s possible that this is another aspect of the Death Star ’s production , but that ca n’t be backed up by any origin . Like many small details inStar Wars , though , this could absolutely be addressed at a tardy time by the correct story . After all , the beauty ofStar Warsoften Lie in these small detail that really convey the macrocosm together .
