[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7319145, member: 6925649"] I think the idea of a Galaxy spanning Empire is impractical, and a setting which covers an entire Galaxy like the Star Wars RPG, was thought up by people who had little idea of how large a Galaxy typically is, and in a movie such as The Force Awakens has some inconsistencies to it. Remember Coruscant?
