Catalyst goes into the Death Star origins a bit. The Republic stole the design from the Geonosians during the Clone Wars, and then used them as slave labor to build it. I don’t remember for certain, but I think it’s implied that the Geonosians got the design from someone else and claimed it was theirs. And it was mostly completed shortly after the war, but they couldn’t get the superlaser to work, hence Galen Erso’s work on Kyber crystals being so important to the project.
