Using a star as a power source, an array of collectors on one side of the planet would gather dark energy in stages, redirecting it to the planetary core, where it was held in place by the natural magnetic field of the planet, as well as an artificial containment field maintained by the machinery the First Order had installed within the crust. The weapon was powered by a type of dark energy called " quintessence," which was ubiquitous in the universe, and offered a practically unlimited power source to the First Order. Its mobility was provided by rocket ports on the far side of the base. The superweapon consumed suns as a power source. The First Order, a regime that believed themselves to be the successors to the ideals of the Galactic Empire, converted the planet into a base of operations owing to its unique energy-transmitting crystalline deposits, and used it to house a superweapon capable of destroying entire star systems. Starkiller Base, also called "the Starkiller," was a base located on the forested ice planet of Ilum rich in kyber crystals that was located in the Unknown Regions. The planet Ilum, once a safe-haven and sacred planet for the Jedi Order, was turned into a superweapon by the nefarious First Order. Blow up the oscillator, all that energy gets released." ―BB-8 to R2-D2 " Starkiller Base drew power from its system's sun, and it had to store all that energy somewhere. The stored stellar energy then expanded, causing the planet to turn into a star. The base and planet were ultimately destroyed by a Resistance attack due to a weak point exploited by pilot Poe Dameron, causing the implosion of the entire planet as the superweapon was firing upon the Resistance base on D'Qar. The First Order viewed this ability as an evolution of the planet-destroying capabilities of the Galactic Empire's Death Star designs, with the weapon serving as the ultimate culmination of old Imperial research into dark energy translations and hyperspace tunneling. Commanded by an unofficial triumvirate of General Armitage Hux, Kylo Ren, and Captain Phasma, it was armed with a superweapon capable of destroying entire star systems halfway across the galaxy.
Starkiller Base was a First Order military base located on the ice planet of Ilum in the Unknown Regions. " This fierce machine which you have built, upon which we stand, will bring an end to the Senate! To their cherished fleet! All remaining systems will bow to the First Order! And will remember this… as the last day of the Republic!" ―General Armitage Hux
