    I don’t think so. The Death Star was a military vessel, and spouses/children don’t usually don’t get to come along on those sorts of things. Having said that, maybe there would be some children on if there was some sort of christening celebration or school field trip on board at the time of the attack.

      No, it’s canon there were families on board. It was simply too large to be anything but a city in space.

          No /s necessary, you live in something called The Death Star, a weapon fresh from killing a planet, and you’re officially the eggs in the anti-evil omelette.

            Not sure they even called it The Death Star, just Military Artificial Satellite Spaceship

              Of course, the first working one was the 4th itteration of prototypes. So that makes it MASSIV (Military Artificial Satellite Spaceship IV)

              I would have went with BABSS, big assed ball shaped spaceship/station.

          Best Buy. I’d go with a Brother instead if I was you, though. Won’t try to fuck you over anywhere near as much.

          If I had the guess, one of the novels.

      It’s an installation - a miltary base. Guarantee the workers had family spaces / on base housing in it. Considering the size of it, whole cities worth of people.

        Bode from Jedi Survivor keeps his kid at an ISB base so it’s not outside the realm of reason.

        Is it an installation or a ship? Couldn’t it move around the galaxy to attack different planets? If so, I think it’s more of a ship than a base. Only analog I can think of in our world would be aircraft carriers or battleships, which are commonly referred to as floating cities, yet they don’t have children or spouses living on board.

          From what I’ve heard, one of the darker secrets though is tbat there is sex and sometimes childbirth that goes on.

          Not something the Navy usually likes to talk about.

            Yeah, I’m sure that’s happened way more than they’d like to admit.
