Could the Empire pull that stunt?

[Tribun]

In VOY episode "30 days" we actually saw a completly artifactial waterworld, whose water was transferd from a planet to space. Before you say anything, I know what the Empire did to Gholondreine-b, but there they simply sucked the ocean empty and transported it the the water refinement plants around Coruscant.

The water world in "30 days" must have the following characteristics:
-A strong gravital central force to hold the sphere togegher
-mechanisms that the WW behaves like a normal planet by circling around it's sun.
-A forcefield/shield, that:
*holds heat in to a certain degree, so that the water would nor freeze.
*prevents bombardement from space (otherwise it would be already demolished)
*stops dangerous radiation.

Additional, tha transfer from planet to space without something going arwy is also very impressive.
The civilisatin which did this must have been very advanced to pull it off.

Do you think, that the Empire could do that as well? For Example, could they transfer all the water from Mon Calamari into a water world?

Also, do you think, that the civilisation, who originally did it, could be a usefull partner to the Empire?

[Luke Starkiller]

As I recall the original sucking off took several (hundred?) years, that would make that part of it easier at least; I'm not entirely sure about the other parts.

Yes. I don't think it would be a problem. We know they can get the water there in the first place. We also know that gravity generation isn't really an issue. Atmospheric shields (for shuttle bays) already exist and it's not that much of a leap to see them expanded to sufficient size to prevent vacuum boiling. The heating problem would be taken care of by using the water itself as a heat sink for the power systems, and letting convection currents do the rest. If anything, cooling the water to keep it from overheating/boiling would probably be a greater issue.

Can they do it? Certainly. In 30 days? A bit more questionable. I'm sure that they could build it in that time, but to design all the systems and such would take far longer.

Gravity well projector comes to mind.


-mechanisms that the WW behaves like a normal planet by circling around it's sun.


Orbital mechanics will take care of that.


-A forcefield/shield, that:

A heating unit.. okay..


*prevents bombardement from space (otherwise it would be already demolished)

Planetary shield.


*stops dangerous radiation.

Same as above.

Something like the Gungan underwater city shield would work.

Absolutely.

More resources are always welcome. Techwise? Not particularly.

30 days was the name of the episode, not how long the process took.

Getting rid of heat might be a bigger problem.

Getting rid of heat might be a bigger problem.

Space might take care of that. I'm not sure what the result would be on a waterworld, there's no "greenhouse effect" in the literal sense, unless it has an atmosphere too.

It would take some time to design the thing and make it correctly (things seldom work right the first time), but the empire has technologies advanced enough and a shitload of resources that grant that they will work it out... with some time.

Also, do you think, that the civilisation, who originally did it, could be a usefull partner to the Empire?

Good engineers are allways valuable comodities. If they are no human, they may bring some alien perspective that the works of the empire usually lacks.

Sunlight bombarding the water eventualy may produce a thin oxygen atmosphere similar to Europa.
