Ral Roke Cale Darksun I'm sure one of his worlds has yearround growing seasons. I suppose your right. It just seems like a lot of food is all. Not all of the food would immediately be eaten. We also have rations, as well as by that time, shipments of supplies from allies and other sources, as well as raids on Hutt, pirate, or Imperial cargo ships. Besides, at least 2-5 of the 15 or so planets can support life, and at least one has year-round growing season. Cultivate as much as needed and divide by three million, and you have a hell of a lot left. I mean, heck, we're not even growing half our planet, and it's feeding 7 billion people.

Livestock need time to be raised, crops need time to grow- even with star wars tech food takes time to make. That was my initial point.

People are still starving.

People are still starving. Yes, some people. But take most of the people in America, Europe, Japan, and other areas, and you have hundreds of millions of well fed people. Out of seven billion. Yeah, some are starving, but properly distributed, we'd need not even .1% of the amount of food needed just for Great Britain in a year.

Once again a few billion is a lot to feed. Hell, China has one billion by itself and it can't feed everyone whether it wants to or not.

Soldiers. Unless all the worlds you own are uninhabited, I think everyone else will want some food too.

You realize that if everyone ate a balanced diet, that we'd need 3.5 planets to feed us all? You also realize that if people ate more than basic requirements to be more enriched, we'd need 7 planets? If people ate like I do, we'd need 23 planets?

1) We're talking about ENTIRE planets dedicated to feeding roughly 1.5 million soldiers, and 1.5 million workers. That's 3 MILLION TOTAL.
2) Consumption is basic requirements. Three meals, water and/or whatever liquid is available for drinking, plus a snack a day.
You're telling me four planets can't give three million people three meals a day? confused

I'm just saying that it's not as easy as you think. Do you even know how much work is involved in farming?

We're discussing my cloning facility in the Mandal and Kedalbe systems, which aren't inhabited except for a planet of barely-medievil aliens, and my people. Shola's just a small base, hidden, and not made for permanaent residence. Any food they got their are rations at best, and anyone on a job while statiopned there would just find something to eat while on mission.

Nelowulf Not to mention, its surprizing you have so few workers compared to your soldiers. Does noone listen? I believe I mentioned getting them to farm the land themselves. They'd be more of a militia, instead of an actual army. While there, they'd be sent to the planets to help farm it, so they can provide for theirs and our food, and also act as a garrison at the same time. As far as planning goes? Find some good watered land, till the soil, make sure its fertile, drop some seeds, care for them, watch them grow, and harvest when ready.
