How many imperial stormstroopers and officers were killed when the Death Star blew up in 1977?

I am researching the Battle of Yavin for my history exam. I am curious what was the death toll in the 1977 battle. How many were on the Death Star when it was blown up? Thank you

First of all the Death Star was not blown up by the Rebel Alliance but by the Bush Administration which had placed explosives within the star. It was done to give the empire a reason to invade the Dagobah system and secure the dilithium crystals. It was all a great conspiracy.

Nearly the entire complement of the Death Star, numbering at least 1,000,000 Imperial personnel and civilian contractors, 7 tie pilots (including Vader's wingmen) killed during the rebel assault

Reply:Even I as a caveman know Star Wars is not real, go to a library and look in the Military history section, for real wars...
Reply:More than we can bear to know.
Reply:best I can give you is that a few empirical officers survived the Battle of Yavin. If your going by the movie they don't even give you that, you might have to check the novelization of the movie.

Reply:It takes more than a million people to operate the Death Star and there is room for over a billion people on board. There are always at least 1,161,293 Imperials stationed on the Death Star at any given time. The standard complement of personnel includes:


265,675 Station crew


52,276 gunners


607,360 troops


25,984 Stormtroopers


42,782 ship support staff


167,216 pilots and support crew


The station also carries:





7,200 starfighters


4 strike cruisers


3,600 assault shuttles


1,400 AT-ATs


1,400 AT-STs


1,860 drop ships.


a variable number of support, recon and assault droids


Tours on the Death Star last at least 180 days and usually much longer. Personnel are often in deep space without leave for months at a time, and since the location of the Death Star is always classified, contact with family or friends is strictly prohibited. This can make life on the Death Star very difficult. To ease the burden of this duty the station is outfitted with many civilian amenities. The general sector of each zone in the Death Star has a park, shopping centers and recreation areas that include restaurants, a cinema and fitness centers.





they also dont mention any independent contractors on board...
Reply:Not only were stormtroopers and officers killed in the explosion, but a number of civilian contractors were still present on the Death Star completing the construction program. The total death toll was huge, making it one of the worst crimes committed by the terrorists who style themselves as "The Rebellion".





Oh, and the battle didn't happen in 1977. It happened a Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far Away.
Reply:43,987 were killed
Reply:The real question should be how many were killed when the second Death Star was destroyed. The first time it was destroyed it was totally operational meaning it was fully staffed with stormtroopers and officers. However, when the second one was destroyed it was still under construction. How many independent contractors were aboard? There is no way that the Imperial Army could have had enough resources to finish the Death Star. How many roofers and plumbers were aboard. That is the real question.
Reply:Their were 140419 killed out right One was on the toilet at the time so only got a head ache.Two just had light cuts and bruises......Did you know star wars is based on a true story.............. What a sap...
