and what is the internal volume of an ISD if it is 100% empty space?

No one has an answer? My math-fu isn't great plus I do not have any SW technical manuals so I would like to know an ISD's internal volume as it is and if it was 100% empty.

It's the space inside of the ship. :P
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Ok I think I found an answere... The guy doing the Warlords Mod ((A plugin that puts StarWars ships into a RTS Space game called Homeworld2)) Has a couple of an ISD in his 3D modeling program.

The program seems to have a function that autocaculates both the surface area and internal volumne of an obgect it in. And according to
THIS it's nearly 67,000,000 cu m.

If the red indicates what it's calculating, then it's leaving out the entire superstructure which could account for the other 23,000,000 cubic meters in Wong's calculation.

Just checked and your right. The magority of the upper superstructure is outside of a Box used to caculate the volumne. As such the total is most likely a vastly larger number.

Something of intrest to think about... An ISD has a crew of around 35,000. For a long time this seemed huge as such a massive amount of people was hard to imagine. Bit if you subdivid it into the volumne of an ISD, it woorks to almost 3000 cu-m PER person. That is a LOT of space.

Don't forget, there are also engines,fuel, reactors, Guns , walls, floors, lifts, ARMOR and supplies on this ship.

If one person has 2-3 m³ "personal" living space on the ship( =bed&locker), (not taking into account the looooong paths through all of the ship, Bright, mass, engineering, etc., it would be a lot.

This is a warship, not a leisure yacht.
A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay
