total population of the Galactic Empire?

[His Divine Shadow]

Does anyone know this? I did some stats a while back, & the population was around 10-1,000 quadrillion.Anyone know? 9I'd say around 3-10 billion per average planet)

Nar Shaddaa had 95 billion inhabitants, it wasn't very high up on the list, but I think we can go with 10 billion per planet, that times 50 million is:
500,000,000,000,000,000 people.

The WEG Star Wars The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition Book states 100 Quadrillion.
I think this number is too low, there are around 20 million sepiant species, i think I read somewhere, that would give an aveage of only 5 billion beings of each species. I would expect a minimum of at least a thousand times this, so around 100 Quintrillion.

How much is a quadrillion?
How many zeroes?

[His Divine Shadow]

Oh, I see I am late, so is 100 Quadrillion this then?
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

I mean if 1 quadrillion is 1e24?

Regarding the heat issue.

SW have heat dumping systems that turn energy into neutrinos, that pretty much takes care of things

Neutrinos? I simply noted that there were things called "shields" in Star Wars.

100 quadrillion intelligent life forms would seem to be about right.

Nar Shaddaa only 95 billion? Damn a lot of the cityscape must be abandoned or something.

A lot of the lower levels are. Couple that with the amount of heavy industry and the fact that we're talking about a moon here, not a bonafide planet, and it becomes a wee more plausible.

tharkun had some good points though....the climate must have become extremely fucked up when the planet was abandoned in the NJO and during the Palpatine reconquest. Unless the Yuuzhan Vong inserted their own technology to keep it habitable and during the Palpatine reconquest that the climate-control systems remained online.

Maybe, but who says the heat sink systems were active systems?

Palpatine reconquest? Did I miss something important?

Ever read Dark Empire? Basically, Palpatine comes back in Clones, and fucks up the NR, then he dies via himself, and they sabotage his lones. Good Series, though.

More likely, with much of the populace dead, and power generation and industry mostly if not completly off line, the world did not have any excessive heat to get rid of.

Infact Vong world shaping efforts included moving it closer to the systems sun to warm it up. However they also added a lot of water which would have sucked up heat.

That massive amount of metal structure would also have nicely fucked up the planet's climate.
