The torpedo siege platform represents a design concept that the Galactic Republic's Special Weapons Group conceived following the Naboo Crisis in 32 BBY. Due to the Republic's generally peaceful nature and the resulting absence of financial support, this initiative remained solely in the planning phase and was never actually built.
In the era of the Clone Wars, comparisons were drawn between this platform and the envisioned Death Star; nevertheless, Vice Chancellor Mas Amedda dismissed it as insignificant when contrasted with the immense scope of Project Stardust. A comparable weapon was eventually utilized by the Galactic Empire, as indicated by a Rebel Alliance intelligence document.
