[QUOTE="Istbor, post: 6888192, member: 6801670"] One thought on the 'Lawless' argument I think is that we are talking about a whole Galaxy, or at least a significant portion of one. This Galaxy is now under an Empire that has had an open rebellion for at least a few years. They may simply not have the ships and troops to be able to be everywhere at once, in the strength they require. A New Hope shows that there is a heightened Trooper presence but it also illustrates that there is a force that is stationed there as a type of garrison and policing unit. Sending a sizable enough force there to quell whatever criminal activity the Empire deems a threat could then require removing forces from another potentially volatile area. It becomes a balancing act. Do we allow some criminals to roam free that at most are just going to seek their own gain and not harm the Empire as a whole, or do we leave *insert system not friendly toward their Imperial masters here* undermanned to stop these Hutts, potentially opening up the previous system for rebellion. The Empire does not want to play Galactic wack-a-mole, so instead lets the smaller less dangerous fish go free. It is only when the droids are sought after that the stronger presence is deemed necessary. That is... just a thought in the event that HS travel at large is only hours for many ships. [/QUOTE]
