The worlds I couldn't find an information for their landscape have the Hill or Space Station biome. Most of them have very valueable bonuses and/or fines since most of them are extraterrestrial and hostile for the organic life (Molten Worlds, Toxic Worlds) or over-developed (Ecumenopolises and Forge Worlds). Continents are Galactic Rims, and Regions are.

One would have to wonder if the intent is rule the entire galaxy why they would be concerned.Ĭompare this with Star Trek who mission is essentially to "observe and report" the Prime Directive makes sense in their universe.

While no official policy has been seen or heard of, this interaction with the Ewoks would suggest that the Empire is not concerned with their superior technology being seen by "lesser species". Also, the Ewoks may have had previous interactions with the local detachment of Imperial troops as we see an Ewok jump on a speeder bike and quickly figure out how to engage it. We also see that while the Ewoks are primitive they show great intelligence and ingenuity when building the elaborate traps to defend against the Empire. The Empire is not shown to have take any protective measure to hide the base from the Ewoks as it can be clearly seen above the tree line. This would mean the Empire would have been in contact with the Ewoks for +/- 4 years, depending on when the base for the shield generator was built. I would say that the Ewoks can be classified as "native sentient species that is still living in near-prehistoric hunter-gatherer tribal societies" based on the their attire, weapons, structures, and society.Ĭonstruction on the Death Star II began in 0 BBY as our own sources tell us: Were there two Death Stars in construction at the same time? The Battle of Endor occurred in 4 ABY. In order to make way for the complex, an Ewok village would be razedīy Imperial troops, leading to strained Imperial-Ewok relations UPDATE: Wookieepedia suggests that the Empire did not care at all about the natives: During this mission the native species of Ewoks were encountered. In Episode VI: Return of the Jedi we see various members of the Rebel Alliance (Han, Leia, et al) embark on a mission to the Forest Moon of Endor to destroy the shield generator protecting the Death Star II. TL DR No official policy in known, but actions seen would suggests that the Empire is not concerned with their advanced technology being known to "lesser evolved" species. I am going to turn my comment into an answer.
