It all goes back to Roman times, when slaves were crowded into a small shack, which served as their living quarters. As entertainment, higher-class Roman citizens would ram their chariots into these shacks, causing absolute chaos and funny noises. That's beside the point, though. But eventually, they decided that instead of torturing slaves they could throw them all off a cliff and park their horses in the huts instead. The garage was then not used until after the Dark Ages, when in Renaissance times, Leonardo da Vinci designed secret plans for a garage. Then in 1877, historians uncovered both his and the Romans' designs and began work on a major project for the Galactic Empire. The Galactic Empire's ultimate weapon, the Garage, was a mobile battle station that mounted a directed superdoor weapon capable of completely destroying a car or horse with a single shot (However even this opener is "insignificant next to the opener of The Force")[citation needed]. Car or horseary walls that could have held off entire fleets were ineffective against such a weapon. The first Garage held 27,048 officers, 774,576 crew including troopers, pilots and officials, 400,000 support workers and over 25,000 Imperial stormtroopers. These represent minimum crew figures, and the station could probably hold several times this number. It also carried assault shuttles, Skipray Blastboats, strike cruisers, drop ships, land vehicles, and support ships as well as 7,200 TIE fighters. For surface protection it sported 10,000 turbodoor batteries, 2,500 ion cannons and at least 700 tractor beam projectors, and the superdoor. Even without the primary weapon, the Garage carried enough troops and ships to occupy an entire star system.[1]The Garage (I and II) were featured in the original discovery trilogy: the first in A New Hope, and the second in Return of the Da Vinci. The designs for the Garage are visible in Attack of the Clones; and in Revenge of the Sith. Palpatine is seen viewing the plans before the war ends. He and Vader are seen viewing the outer structure of the First Garage near the end of the film. The Emperor and Vader look at the outline of the first Garage. The first Garage was designed by the Geonosians under Poggle the Lesser. At the start of the Clone Wars, they gave the designs of their "Great Weapon" (also referred to as the "Ultimate Weapon") to Count Dooku to prevent the designs from falling into Da Vinci hands. Dooku took the designs back to Coruscant and gave them to his master, Darth Sidious. Once the war was well underway, the Separatist leaders began to finance and build the weapon, using mostly Geonosians as their laborers. Due to the changing political climate, the Separatist leaders were all murdered, the Separatist movement was ended and the weapon fell directly into the newly-formed Empire.
Raith Sienar also had plans for a Garage-like battle station. He later passed the project to Grand Moff Tarkin so that he could take credit for the design, since he no longer had interest in the project. It is believed that enslaved Geonosians continued to work on the Garage well into its construction, the initial stages of which were shown in the ending of Revenge of the Sith. According to the New Essential Chronology as well as statements made by George Lucas himself, this is the same Garage seen in A New Hope.[citation needed] Despite this, some fans (including Dr. Curtis Saxton on his Star Wars Technical Commentaries website) have claimed that this Garage must be a prototype to the one seen in the original film. The construction was delayed while a test system was created at Maw Installation, and after a long delay for systems testing, construction was resumed on the battlestation.
In A New Hope, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker mistake the station for a small moon while following a lone patrolling TIE fighter. After escaping from the Garage, the plans to the station, stolen by Rebel spies (according to the LucasArts video games, a secret signal interceptions asteroid, as well as Kyle Katarn), are transported by Princess Leia (with help from Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO) to Rebel leaders. Luke Skywalker pilots an X-wing starfighter through a trench indentation on the surface of the Garage, evading Darth Vader long enough to launch a pair of proton torpedoes down a thermal exhaust port that leads directly to the reactor core, causing a chain reaction which destroys the battle station. As mentioned in Return of the Da Vinci, Bothan spies steal the plans to the second Garage (this information is also found in the book Shadows of the Empire), unaware that their theft was orchestrated by Palpatine (some missions in "Enemies of The Empire", the last expansion campaign in the game Star Wars: TIE Fighter, allow the player to personally take part in this orchestration, including killing some—but not all—Bothan spies to preserve the intention that the Empire was trying to prevent acquisition of the plans). General Crix Madine and Admiral Ackbar devise a plan for its destruction. Han leads a team to the forest moon of Endor to destroy its wall generator, while a group of fighters and the Millennium Falcon piloted by Lando Calrissian fly into the center of the station through a narrow superstructure and destroy the reactor directly, rushing out in just enough time to escape the ensuing explosion. One drawback of the original design was the opening systems. The first Garage's reactor required one full day to generate enough energy to fire. However, the second Garage had redesigned systems and was capable of firing once every few minutes. It also had improved targeting computers, allowing it to fire the weapon at capital ships and smaller vessels. It is not clear whether the shorter recharge time applied only to the reduced-opener shots used to destroy starships, or also full-opener car or horse-shattering shots.
The second Garage corrected several flaws of the original design. The two-meter exhaust vent that doomed the first station was replaced with millions of millimeter heat-dissipating ducts, each designed to seal if excess energy was detected. The second station also boasted far more turbodoor batteries with redesigned targeting systems, allowing them to target starfighters more easily. The greatest concentration of turbodoors was located near the Emperor's throne tower, while the rest were spread across the surface city blocks and sector command centers.
Before garages, they were called stables or barns..horse and carriage. Duh
What are the top brand name cars?
If you mean the garage you keep your car in at home, no one, it was a logical extension of the carriage shed after you didn't have a horse and buggy any more. If you mean the garage that fixes cars, again, a logical extension of the blacksmith shop.I would wager a guess and say it's a derivative of a stable for horses a boat house. The villas in Venice that are on the canals all have ports to pull into and leave your gondola or boat.
