Is there anything that DIDN'T happen on the SW universe? I mean, judging by the EU...

A Star Trek cross-over.

Darksaber was an interesting book. Durga(?) the Hutt was going to use the knowledge of the original DS design (Bevel Lemelisk) to build a new DS to blackmail the galaxy. Lemelisk gave it the cylinder shape. Since it was going to be a "military installation" it didn't need the added superstructure. It needed, engines and the laser only.

My favorite part of the book was anytime that Bevel had a flashback, remembering how the Emperor would punish him for failures. Palpy had cloned several bodies for Bevel, and what he'd do was torture him in some agonizingly painful way, then use the force to transfer Bevel's conscienceness into a new body. The 2 methods I recall are being spaced and being eaten alive by some kind of Yavin beetle.
