[QUOTE]Originally posted by Capped In Mic: [QB] the Republic is made up of many planets, including Naboo, and we've seen that Naboo has its own military, such as its fighter force and the Guardsmen who fought in the Trade Federation's attack. Perhaps the Republic left the powers of military protection to the individual planets involved... thats why ordering the creation of a Republic army was so disruptive in the long run.. the lack of a unified military was part of a checks and balance system that made sure that the larger government didnt become more powerful that the pieces that made it up.. basically, once there was a Republic military, it took powers away from the individual planets (as did the 'emergency powers' act which allowed Palpatine to become a military dictator)... one the military power was out of the hands of the individual states making up the Republic, it removed their ability to assert their own interests over that of the larger federal body. so basically, if anyone attacked any Republic world, it would be defended by their own military, not the Republics (again, what happened on Naboo).. plus i would assume that even if there wasnt a large naval force, those cruisers could also be designed and used as part of some sort of 'coast guard' system and then were ceded to the control of the new unified military force.
