Hey boss. I don't know what's going on but I really appreciate the amount and quality of content you've been dropping lately. This is a really stressful time in my life and your content gives me something to listen to and enjoy with no strings attached. I really hope your not being pulled into the drama of the other star wars youtubers.
A Death Star size space station would’ve been an excellent substitute for colonists until they find a planet to claim rather than using it to blow planets up
If even a tenth of it is habitable, it could comfortably house many millions (whether the environmental systems can support that many is open to question, of course)
The one limiting factor is how large a hyperdrive can you build? (Multiple linked hyperdrives??) Within that limitation, a asteroid could be used as the Base structure. Hollow it out and you've got a ready made three dimensional lattice to build and tunnel in. [There's also heating an asteroid and inflating it using water tanks in the middle while spinning it, gives a nice hollow egg like shape] And as a security measure the surface could even be left looking like it's natural state, as camouflage. Anything hostile that doesn't actually see it hyperspace in could assume it's an uncharted rock. Or if some facilities/projections are visible on the surface, that it's just a small outpost of miners on a big asteroid, and severely underestimate them. But a asteroid ship could also be grown out of a settlement on the asteroid over time, expanding as they travel. The entire ship doesn't have to be finished before they can start journeying, just the FTL systems and the passenger capacity. It could even be built in secret, with all the work occurring inside the asteroid and equipment being ferried in on ships that appear to be there to collect materials. A cargo ship occasionally landing at a asteroid base and then leaving a while latter is not suspicious. Then once ready everyone gets onboard and it buggers out of the system. Building a space station from scratch requires building a frame first then adding in parts. And you need a shipyard to build it at. If you're in a bad neighbourhood that is a big target.
@@casbot71 To add an addenum to your comment about hyperdrives. Not only would they need multiple linked hyperdrives. But just due to the shear mass they would have to be a system of upper tier hyperdrives.(class 5?).Almost everything else you stated in your above comment is dead on as far as I can reckon.
I like how most of the highly populated planets are on important trade routes. It reflects how some port towns across the world become large because of the vast opportunities created or resources available.
@@gabrielhenson5751 Not just New York.

@@LeafBoye it’s just another part of the ongoing war with the Star Wars fandom this time specifically between UA-cam creators. It’s a rare thing this time around because you never see creators going at each other. Personally, the way I look at it is that there are some faults on both sides with this particular situation. I don’t think anybody’s getting this right and everyone looks bad.
@generationtech deep dive and long form content is simply elite. I watch the compilations multiple times. Alan, if you're reading this, a few ideas for future videos: -More of lesser known ships in both cannon, and legends. (Multi-part series) -Top 25 Fanon ships (multiple parts) -Deep dive into Star Wars video games -Deep dive into other Star Wars merchandising -Book reviews The Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy, for example Thanks for all of the Star Wars, and real world insights. Keep up the great content!
man i love this channel. i think star was videos are best when you mix the old and new cannon, with just a little bit of head cannon thrown in here. I wish youtubers would do this good a job with star trek.
terminus, atravis, and randon are also some large population centers in outer rim. though atravis is more assumed as being large population center due to the one paragraph blurb it has in some obscure book from years ago iirc
Another good one. Keep educating the Star Wars fans that only see fast spacecraft and flashing lightsabers. Every video a new step into the larger world...
Sad that my comment apparently got deleted. I apologize if I violated some unwritten rule. I really didn't want to do "advertisement" here. I just wanted to point people to a really cool, but really small Star Wars Channel I found, that I was genuinely super excited about!!! And since Generation Tech is my favorite Star Wars Channel, I was SURE people who like this stuff here would also enjoy that other channel. I mean... I guess it makes sense because if everyone would do this the comments probably would be chaos. But still… :( Anyways! Still a great video and I love how Alan can just freaking materialize high quality videos outta nowhere, even with more random Topics like this! Once again felt like a real life history lesson! Love it! 💯
What is amazing to me is that, as far as we know, our Galaxy might very well be as populated as the SW Galaxy except we are a few millennia behind in tech. That is a fun thought to think...😁
Wait, wait, wait, are you saying hyperspace lanes are MANMADE? I thought that they were all naturally formed like rivers and the best people could do was maybe clean up some debris.
Alan, Korriban wasn't the capital of the Sith Empire, that was the world of Dromand Kaas. Korriban was home of the Sith Academy and the Dark Counsil only.
Were the Geonosians a hive mind? I know their language is sometimes called "Geonosian hive-mind". But to my knowledge, with the exception of the mind controlled ones seen in The Clone Wars, I don't think the common Geonosian was controlled directly by a higher mind.
@@GenerationTech Yeah but if I understood it correctly, that wasn't the norm. It was a queen was adapting to all the dead geonosians and the lack of living ones after the second invasion. I might have gotten it wrong, but I don't think the "common geonosian" had the worms in their brains. It might well be that in the presence of a queen she might create pheromones and stuff to affect drones even without the worms, and they might be used to some degree normally. But I don't think the normal drone out on the planet would have any direct link to the queen's mind
I love Nar-Shadda. My the best rpg campaign had place there. It ended in gang war where zygerrian triads were trying to kick out or take control over other non hutt crime organisations on the planet.
If there's a bright spot in the universe giving light to every were tatooween would be most habitable . . In real universe Consant would to much radiation in the core systems
Coruscant's population is odd. Even a pretty conservative population density could quite easily be quadrillions (jowever many times they try to tell us it's a couple of trillion or less) Even though Imperial warships are relative crew-intense, they're actually very sparsely populated. If the million or so on board were distributed through, say, a tenth of its volume, you would really struggle to bump into anyone by accident.
yall are so happy that there’s no drama on generation tech’s channel that yall have to talk about it and bring it up… smh i know this can be a hard concept to grasp for some fans in star wars but shxt will go away when you LEAVE IT ALONE for long enough
One of strange things about the Star Wars galaxy is large populations with no visible means of supplying basic needs. The most glaring necessity is food. (It's very evident during "establishment shots" of a segment and there may be signs of minor trade traffic, which does not seem sufficient to supply a large population without a visible means of feeding itself.)
While it's a cool location, the population of Bespin must be pretty modest. Cloud city, large though it is at just over 16km, couldn't possibly house more than a few tens of millions at most. Unless you have a reason to go, or have a reason for a character to be from there, the chances of just bumping into someone from Bespin, or just happening to wind up there must be pretty low.

Glad to hear sending out good vibes to you Kade!
@GenerationTech yes, thank you for focusing on content over the war between the Empire and Tatooine...
I love that this channel is simply to just SW for actual SW fans and non of the drama we’ve seen elsewhere.

@@alkirk-ws4co yep, access to trade from the world at large is a huge deal
I love when Allan said, “It’s teching time!” Classic line!
And then he teaches all over the place

Yeah more like he "techs" all over the place @@michaelerlanger2797
The vast information on Star Wars that you provide makes me want to run a Star Wars themed ttrpg with my buddies.
Thank you for staying out of this pointless drama generation tech. Keep being you. When you fight in star wars everyone loses
GT isn’t a grifter and he makes great passionate content and that’s all I need and what everyone should be on UA-cam
What drama

@@OrionInSpaceokay, but what is the «drama» about? Just wanna know cause i gotvnp clue
Interesting fact; When Palpatine died the Imperial Holonet stations all played _Squid Lake_ while the chaos caused by his death unfolded.

"squid lake" made me chuckle.
Nal Hutta wasn't the Hutt homeworld, they stole it from the Evocii after the Hutt's destroyed their own homeworld.
Guys I think Allen is Star Wars Hannibal Lecter! He always mentions how delicious certain sapient species are, and he’s always on the move.
😂

0:09 There is a planet called Vulpter. This is why we love Star Wars.
Your content is awesome man
Always loved Nar Shadda's description in Legends as being like if someone shaved the upper 50 layer "veneer" off Coruscant and started from there.😅
New Generation Tech video dropped, this is a good morning start
i really enjoy these videos, thanks
Excellent video I really enjoy your channel
Honey, new generation tech video just dropped

"Productive and delicious". Classic.
Good stuff, as per usual!
Hey Allen, thank you for the daily dose of star wars. I was wondering what the most beautiful planets in Star wars look like?

@GenerationTech.
IF Earth was a planet in Star Wars, would we have a Helldivers or Halo style military?
The Star Wars Galaxy is Andromeda. Check out the E.T. promotion posters.
Allen, which one of these planets would you want to live on? I'd choose Bespin or Dak. 🙋🏻♂️
Where is the music in this video from?
“Industrial Corporate Hellscape” would make a great name for a band.
