The matter of contract is "to serve a certain system of a military facility under certain conditions". In other words, they are still combatants, not innocent civilians.

I don't disagree with your point but I think it's safe to say that there was noone aboard the Death Star apart from military personnel and droids. And that the only other people that might have been on board DS2 were slaves.
I just thought of another point too. Why would the Empire employ contractors to work on such a top secret project? The first star wars movie was all about retrieving and delivering the original's plans to the rebel alliance.
It is also claimed that many Bothan spies died trying to retrieve plans for the second.
You're right though.. the fact that it was a weapon of mass destruction makes anyone that is working for it acceptable collateral.
