Because of Gaylen Aso, the completion of Death Star was far away.
In fact, it was not a technical problem, but a human problem.
The emperor's dissatisfaction is directed at Tarkin, and Tarkin's dissatisfaction is directed at Secretary Klenic.
The emperor was afraid that the reality of Death Star would be exposed.
It was difficult to maintain a huge confidentiality system as large as Deathstar for a long time.
Because it is a large-scale space station that can destroy an entire planet, the resources and personnel involved are huge. The Senate had a hunch.
Klenick was nervous about maintaining confidentiality at all costs.
Warned to Turkin, the limit of the emperor's patience.
Dedra Miro of ISB, who illegally accessed the secrets of Deathstar, comes to mind.
Apparently, the identity of Axis, an important target of ISB, was found out.
Deathstar's huge secrecy was in the way, and the ISB had been unable to identify the Axis for many years.
For Clenic, Axis didn't matter.
More than that, it is unacceptable that Deathstar's secrets were leaked. I will cover it up thoroughly.
However, if you look at it differently, it means that huge secrecy has been a negative effect on the intelligence system. In addition to Axis, there will be various problems.
Unless the Death Star is destroyed, it cannot be solved.
It was supposed to fulfill the emperor's dream of destroying the entire planet, but it became a shackle for the empire.
I think it's better to subdivide confidential information on a small scale and lose its effectiveness in a short time.
