I guess with Palpatine out of the picture, the Death Star as a Gen'Dai homeplanet (sort of) is a go. Seeing as Palpatine and Tarkin are the only ones knowledgeable of it's existence, the Gen'Dai's would have secured it during the power vacuum when the Republic fell.

Yes, especially considering Palpatine had a building thrown at him(not literally(Alright maybe >.>)) and Tarkin was kind of busy rallying the Open Circle Fleet along with Kenobi, and is now heading the GRM fleets. A giant space station without even a super-laser is hardly even on his list of priorities.
