LEGO Star Wars set 10188, Death Star, represents the Imperial battle station as a model for both play and display. Released in 2008 in the Star Wars theme, under the Ultimate Collector Series path, it contains 3807 pieces and 21 minifigures.

Death Star has a distinctive place in LEGO Star Wars because it treats the Imperial station as a built setting rather than only an exterior shape. The model brings together characters and recognizable locations from the license in an open layout suited to scene building.

The build uses 3807 pieces and results in an accessible structure with areas for arranging minifigures. The 21 minifigures include Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, Emperor Palpatine, a Stormtrooper, a Death Star Trooper, R2-Q5 and a white Assassin Droid.

This set suits Star Wars collectors who want a substantial display model, while also serving builders who value character driven play. Within the theme, it is best understood as an interior focused interpretation of the Death Star, supported by a broad cast rather than a closed outer shell.
