[@jaiofficialmusic]

@@dazambie SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SEASON 4: It's the Lothal Jedi temple and access to a time-space portal to the "World Between Worlds", which connects canons between Star Wars Rebels and the Son, Daughter, and Father from Mortis aka the Mortis Gods, from the Clone Wars. The Emperor sent a special task force there to study it and get control if it, essentially controlling time itself.

[@SalinaMoonfall]

@@jaiofficialmusic She might not have known the exact reason, but certainly knew the Emperor himself sent an excavation team under heavy guard and probably ordered they not be disturbed by anyone (with shoot trespassers on sight no questions asked order). That sort of special troop movement would have come by her desk marked highly classified and highly important to the empire.

[@aaroncabatingan5238]

Palpatine probably knew about the temple on Lothal through the Jedi Archives which was captured during Order 66, but not its exact location. At least until it was found later by the Inquisitors. The reason why they built their factories is probably just as a cover to hide their operation to find the temple and excavate it.

To those who say the Empire are good guys: consider that true believers like Maketh Tua who genuinely think the Empire is good are also usually the ones who get shafted or pretty much set up to die for not being brutal sociopaths. Tua is merely a minister as she says, yet they expect her to be do stuff like burn down refugee camps when her nominal charge is to improve Lothal's infrastructure (as seen in her speech for Empire Day). If the Empire was so good, why is it that people like her would feel the need to defect once the big guys in power like Vader and Tarkin start doing their work?

The Death Star

[@0hvist]

More likely a field test of a similar WMD but one that was done but ultimately forgotten 4000 years prior: the Desolator, it combined the aspects of several different experimental projects made by the Galactic Republic to be used against the Sith Empire: The Planet Prison, which could ionize a planets' atmosphere to keep any ships or transmissions from leaving, turning a planet literally into a prison. The Death Mark Laser: a suspended weapons platform cpable of delivering pinpoint energy strikes at any selected target: even those that have been preset if the remote locator is destroyed, the ultimate snipers' tool. The Shock Drum: a stationary generator that would reverberate ultrasonic vibrations capable of disabling droids in close proximity: the longer it's left on, the greater the vibrations become, strong enough to throw organic molecules to pieces and eventually cause the planetary body it's activated on to fly apart. Alone, each device was capable of dealing untold destruction. but combined together it would become a weapon far more terrifying than the Death Star. While the Death Star was precise and deadly, these three weapons would leave behind horror in its wake: with the atmosphere ionized, ships and distress calls would just fall back to the surface, tune the Death Mark Laser to the proper frequency and the atmosphere could become a firestorm, with a precise shot it would even penetrate the planets core, then the Shock Drum would work with the Death Mark Laser to set up ever-increasing vibrations that would pulse through the planet in massive earthquakes capable of sinking continents and causing massive-scale eruptions all across its surface. In-short, it could turn a planet into a very literal "Hell-on-Earth".
