Ok, I am thinking 300 Million with the following specifics-
180 Million B1 Droids
100 Million Super Battle Droids
19 Million BX Series Commando Droids
600,000 Droidekas
400,000 Crab Droids
That's a pretty good army.
This is good. Still doesn't scrape 1% though. But good.G-Tech Corporation wrote:
Again, though, that figure conceives of an army of tens of millions of battle droids not only being held on a world in the heart of Imperial space, but also being bought off the open market, not manufactured. I'm not seeing millions of battle droids being bought escaping Imperial notice, especially in the context of a Separatist sympathizing world. A few million could be concealed, at a stretch. Nearly a billion, hmm, seems implausible.
Well, given it's been established that we've reactivated 12% of the former CIS army, that puts us at...
600 quadrillion.
What, are you assuming the CIS had ~9 quintillion droids active? "Quintillions" =\= "largest quintillion number".
Anyways, I'm not disputing numbers. The CIS has a lot of droids. I'm disputing hundreds of millions of droids being activated and bought on a Core system known for rebellion without the local governor/Moff/Imperial Intelligence murdering the living daylights out of their purchaser/shutting the operation down. That's like saying Charleston is launching an uprising against the Federal government with the 100,000 man army they've recruited from Venezuela.
