[Spaceships] DS-1 Orbital Battle Station

The defenses are supposed to be designed around a direct, large-scale assault, with small, one-man fighters an afterthought. Shouldn't you have more weapons on a capital-ship scale, and fewer tertiary batteries?

Star Wars ships have deflector shields, no? It's a bit bumpy for those one-man fighters to penetrate the one the DS has.

The crew/cabins/workstations count seems pretty high. Did the Empire depopulate thousands of planets just to crew the Death Star?
