History
The first HBSWs began development under the New Republic however other governments began development of their own. Due to the scaled down nature of many of the weapons compared to the Death Stars weapons which they were based upon, the need for large quantities of Kyber Crystals was significantly reduced allowing even small powers to build them. There first usage during the Thirty-Seventh Galactic Civil War, in which they devastated many worlds on all sides, caused heavy restrictions on their development following the conflict. The Galactic Concordance stipulated that each nation was limited to a maximum of only three HBSWs, however various governments would exceed this limit with the goal of out competing opponents in any future wars. Continued development with the aspiration to both increase the power of HBSWs as well as decrease their size so as to make them easier to protect and hide. Several HBSWs were also integrated into multi-role Star Dreadnoughts such as the Nebulonnix.
