Droids cannot make technical eqiupment such as Heavy Turbo lasers, plasma coils, shield generators, or tractor beams. You need civilian engineers for that. There are several civilian companies that contracted with the empirial government. You think Star Destroyers grew on trees? How bout Imperial walkers? Honestly, if you have an empire based on exspansion, with constant loss of equipment, you would have a booming economy back on Courisant.

Slaves for manual labor means they were out digging in mines, NOT BUILDING war machines of advanced technology. Slaves would be used in tasks that required little supervision and less thinking.


The Jedi were on the republics side because they were Jedi knights of the republic. The clone troopers were trained to obey jedi knights. Yes, order 66 had them attack jedi..but remeber..when Vader led the 501st against the Jedi temple...He was a Jedi general putting down a jedi rebellion, the troopers never did anything outside thier training.

Also, laying waste to a planet with Star Destroyers pretty much destroys any chance of life, thus it destroys the planet in the sense of it being "Class M" anymore. Turn it into a mineing facility where the slaves can dig I suppose. The DS blowing everything to asteroids was a waste of a good resources.

Yes, Star trek was wishy washy when it came to politics, and it bit them on the ass constantly. Specially with the Jem Hadar and the shapeshifter war. I prefer Klingons. Realistically though, humans would find less advanced races and just shove them over like any other group of "Indians". Put them on some "reservation moon", while we strip mined thier planet bare. Humans would have more in common with the Borg than anything.
