The Empire's major project, the Stardust Project, was carried out under the surface.
It is to realize the emperor's dream of "the ultimate weapon to destroy the entire star" by investing a large number of human resources and resources from the entire galaxy.
In order not to make the rebels realize it without leaking it on the surface, it is necessary to specify the Stardust plan confidentially within the empire. It is very difficult to make a project of such a large scale successful and not leak it to the surface until Death Star is completed. Turkin knew.
Except for the emperor, there is no one who has a full grasp of the plan, and if the human resources involved in Stardust fall into the hands of the rebels, the actual situation can be concealed. The emperor's energy plan is ostensibly deceived.
Since the Stardust project is large-scale, the number of secrets will naturally be huge.
Then, information other than Stardust will also be kept confidential.
Information about Axis, etc.
Unlike Turkin, Grand Admiral Sloan did not know about the Stardust plan.
If Sloan can't detect Death Star, it means that it hasn't leaked.
Because of the confidentiality, Grand Admiral Sloan did not notice the axis that the ISB was chasing, that is, the harbinger of the rebellion.
Grand Admiral Sloan will grasp the Stardust Plan after the completion of Death Star.
Shocked by the enormous cost paid by the empire, it contradicts Sloan's doctrine of efficient galactic governance. He despised Tarkin's achievements.
In the end, the Deathstar was destroyed by a single proton torpedo, causing enormous losses to the empire.
Sloan could not forgive the confidentiality within the empire, more than the loss of Death Star. I wanted to notice ISB's warning about Axis earlier than the Stardust plan was leaked.
At that time, the empire was an inefficient system that could waste resources infinitely, but it was also inefficient in information intelligence, such as handling confidentiality.
It was probably bad that the confidential designation period had been prolonged.
Secretary Klenick has been carrying out the Stardust plan for a long time, so confidential information is stuck in layers. The confidentiality that should be released is also difficult to release.
(The emperor's patience turns into revenge)
In other words, the Stardust plan had become a negative effect on the empire's intelligence. The emperor's dream should be realized, but the price will be paid for overlooking the omens of rebellion.
After the destruction of Deathstar, a lot of confidential information will be disclosed within the Empire, which will greatly benefit your intelligence capabilities. In addition to Axis, useful information can be released from confidentiality and analyzed.
It benefits Sloan's analysis.
This phenomenon is said to have been very helpful for Admiral Sloan to devise the First Order. If military operations, operations, and projects can be reduced at a low cost, time and the scale of confidentiality will be reduced, from the designation to the removal of confidentiality. The reason for the failure was that the scale of the Stardust project was too large.
To put it bluntly, it would be good to be able to destroy the planet at a low cost with the evolution of technology.
