No. The death star first appeared in the prequels in the hands of the CIS actually. It was a plan all along for palpatine. Not tarkin. Secondly, with the database destroyed, clones escaped, and scientists all dead, there was virtually no way to continue project necromancer. As vital as palpatine calls it, it was destroyed. Gone. Over. Nothing remained. You can't continue a project without the information on it and the ones who know how to do it. So they just diverted the funds to the project they CAN do.

I sometimes get the idea that the Imperial was originally supposed to perform the role the Venator did, they just sacrificed some of the complement for weaponry since they learned in the Clone Wars that Venators would have to engage ship to ship sometimes, and the true heavy brawler was supposed to be the Tector. However, it seems like they ended up not making nearly as many Tectors once the doctrine changed and they miscalculated with the Star fighter reduction

I also did some number crunching on dates. This event of the star destroyer and the raid on tantis takes place in 18 bby, in 17 bby a year later, vader is seen inspecting the wreckage of a downed venator presumed to be the final resting place of ahsoka, where modern stormtroopers are seen as well. My guess is either shortly after the bad batch new Stormtrooper armor was dolled out, possibly from some of the funds requisitioned from Hemlock's labs, or it was the first experimental step with new stormtrooper armor to an elite force. If we see any sort of early empire series around this time period again, I suspect the gen 1 TK stormtrooper armor will be replaced with new Stormtrooper armor, or the TK armor replaced with imperial army armor as many of the TKs would no doubt better class in with imperial army rather than stormtroopers.
