Woah woah woah, I think that's actually a gross exageration on your part. I've seen better estimates at around 100 trillion for Coruscant, I believe.Wild Karrde wrote:Coruscant's population alone is 600/700 trillion, and that's low end. There's also many other city planets among the core worlds just like Coruscant.

Dr. Curtis Saxton wrote:All evidence indicates that the [pre-Dark Empire] surface of Coruscant was entirely covered with city, except for small polar caps and tiny isolated seas. The orbital views in The Phantom Menace show consistent and well-lit urban terrain at essentially all latitudes. Supposing that the cityscape amounts to 90% of the global surface, and assuming that the planet is about the same size as Earth, this means an area of about 460,000,000 km². (This is a miserly, worst-case estimate, since the physical characteristics of Coruscant derived from other sources make it larger than Earth.) The typical population density for suburban areas of modern cities on Earth are of an order of magnitude about 10,000 or 20,000 persons per square kilometre (taking the comfortable Australian city of Perth as an example). (Readers who would prefer a USA example could consider New York county, with a 1999 population of 1,551,844 persons, an area of 28 square miles = 72.5km², and a population density of 21,107 persons/km² after metric conversion. Reputedly the densest urban population centre on Earth, Hong Kong, had 98,000 persons/km² in 1999 and remains less built-up than Coruscant by some orders of magnitude.) If Imperial City were only as heavily populated as the suburbs of Perth then the population would be of the order of nine trillion persons. Of course Imperial city is not inhabited in the same way as Perth. These suburbs consist almost entirely of single-level buildings and generous gardens around each family dwelling; Imperial City is composed of spires averaging two miles tall, with hundreds of floors, and very few residents ever set eyes on the soil of their planet. The population density of Imperial City is certainly at least several hundred times that of Perth. The total population of Coruscant must be at least of the order of several thousand trillion (1,000,000,000,000,000), and certainly no less than several hundred trillion.

I've read somewhere that our solar system alone could support up to 10 quadrillion people during millennia.Lazy Raptor wrote:Executor wrote:WEG gave the Old Republic a population of 100 Quadrillion
'Reaching out from what came to be known as the Core Worlds, the republic eventully embraced over a million member worlds, and countless more colonies, protectorates and governorships. Nearly 100 quadrillion beings pledged allegiance to the Republic in nearly fifty million systems.'President Sharky wrote:100 Quadrillion sounds reasonable. Divided equally in the galaxy, that would give each planet 100 billion inhabitants.
Do you have the quote for that?

No the old republic is 50 million inhabited systems and a million member worldsSolauren wrote:And that's if you average it out per world.
There are probably lots worlds with low populations like Earth (Alderan comes to mind, they were supposed to be extremely environmentally friendly), and dozens of city-worlds like Coruscant.
Also, that's just the Old Republic. 1 million worlds out of 20 million inhabited worlds (Han Solo qoute, Dark Empire).
If you assumed that 10 billion (twice earth) was the average, the total galactic population in a galaxy of would be 200,000,000,000,000,000
I personally think the total galactic civilization is about 3 - 4 times that
Good Lord, my brain must be fried from staring at the computer screen today. That's not the first stupid mistake i've made ...President Sharky wrote:1e15 = 1 Quadrillion.

I would actually say the GE is larger since it is known that it conquers planets, the OR in The Phantom Menace never had tattooine as part of it (yes its not that an important planet) I wonder how far the republic went into the outer rim of the Galaxy, I see membership to the OR as by invitation or application s opposed to the GE ways.President Sharky wrote:Executor is correct, OR was just as large as the GE.
IIRC, the GE expanded the OR's territories by thousands of sectors, though they're probably sparsely populated compared to the rest of the former OR territory.Executor wrote:I would actually say the GE is larger since it is known that it conquers planets, the OR in The Phantom Menace never had tattooine as part of it (yes its not that an important planet) I wonder how far the republic went into the outer rim of the Galaxy, I see membership to the OR as by invitation or application s opposed to the GE ways.

), I could see the GE taking over the entire Outer rim, maybe another couple hundred sectors and maybe reorganising some sectors, to give them a more comformal amount of systems.
