The Grand Army of the Republic got the one million after the initial engadments. Acording to that qoute, they only have 200,000 troops ready, the grow a batch per year, and their faclities got bigger and bigger. There were more then 2 million troops in action by the forth year. Acording to my calculations they gpt 499500000 per year. Don't forget, that is by one system.
And yet, you again fail to grasp the logic here. They could not have grown another million by the 4th year, since it took them ten years to grow a million of them. Even if we were to assume that the other million just weren't ready for some reason, that's still only a 100,000 clone troops per year.
There is no reason, or evidence to conclude that the Empire would have massive numbers in their military.
Given how things were going, a second batch was likely started three years into the first one, and was likely put into the army during the third year of the Clone Wars.
In fact, during the war we see that their ground forces aren't all that high. In fact, in the initial beginnings of the war on geonosis (or whaterver), two hundred thousand troopers were considered an overwhelming force that rolled over the CIS's troops.
There is a problem 499500000 divided by 50 is 9990000 ships per year, they are all built by Kuat Drive Yards and Rothana Heavy Enginering, thats only two ship yards. The Empire's ships are from Rothana Heavy Enginering, Kuat Drive Yards, but on a bigger scale since the Imperial Navy is built on a intergalactic scale.
Your calculation is flawed Sky. First of all, you assume that the empire needs to have a massive building for a fleet for no apparent reason. Why pray tell, would the Empire need a massive fleet? At best, they have a few thousand species within their galaxy, and they apparently don't have massive occupation programs. We saw no warships over Alderaan or Tatooine. In fact, throughout the series, we've never seen them occupy a planet. This must mean that occupation forces are not often organized for the Galactic Empire.
Thus, the races of the Empire must be rather docile, or low tech, since Naboo itself only displayed fighters as its only source of planetary defenses.
The Grand Army of the Republic need a huge army to counter the alot larger CIS army. " We are keepers of the peace, not soilders"-Mace Windu, and the Jedi Order is too small to take the whole CIS, and to keep sercuity at the same time.
The fact that the Jedi Order was able to keep peace is again, pointing to a docile society. The Jedi themselves were easily obliterated by Order 66. Assuming the Republic had a million soldiers, each leading 50 soldiers, that would put it down to twenty thousand Jedi Knights. That's an insanly small number for the Jedi Order to exist in, and able to keep the peace.
Yes there is two races per pod, Gungans and Naboo, Quarren and Mon Calmiri for example. Not the whole Galaxy joined the Republic, but most of them did, and 10,000 is senient beings, and there is more in Chiss Space.
And thus, you prove my point. That Empire, is likely only five times larger as the UFP, which at best holds two thousand planets. And sadly enough, the gungans and Naboo are from the same planet, so that isn't really much of a point for your part. A better example would have been the Aldeeran senator and the Naboo senator.
And even given this, that's still a very low number. Given that twenty thousand Jedi were able to keep the peace, then a million soldiers would easily constitute as a grand army.
And Sky, you forget that the Chiss aren't part of George's World, they are part of EU. EU is not canon. We've been over this.
For the Empire, they have the Rebel troble. For the Republic they have CIS troble.
Problem is, the Rebels weren't a large force. Indeed, their large fleet consisted of perhaps only 20-40 starships at best. Not only this, but they had inferior firepower against a small fleet of ISDs, as stated by Admiral Ackabar. It wasn't that the Empire was having trouble military wise, it was the fact that the Rebels were hard to find that made them such a problem. The Rebels could target Imperial installations, which was next to public knowledge, save for the secret stuff, while the Empire had to search for Rebel bases.
In fact, in both cases, the Rebel base comprised only of fighters and transport ships to defend themselves, save for perhaps a ground based ion cannon.
As for the CIS and the Republic, we've been through that. The republic at best, had two million soldiers created, and at least half of them must have been lost. Logically, only the need for restoring the lost troops would be needed.
Sky, I know this is hard to get at your age, but the Empire wouldn't just build up their army for no reason. It doesn't matter what sci-fi we're talking about; maintaining a military is expensive, and building a larger one and maintaining it without need is a sinkhole for money. In fact, the Death Star itself proves this point. It was there to end all forms of rebellion and a need for the Imperial Navy.
