Ok, makes sense.  Just asking :)

Interesting.  What works is what works :)

Heh, ok.  Just seems a huge effort, that's all.

Its a good idea.  Maybe he's making deals with
devils/demons to keep his throne or something.  Nice
source of intrigue and strife.  Maybe he's even become
some sort of lich or other undead (Animus?)

A plague (orc shingles?) or other natural disaster
could be used to keep the scro population "devastated"
but not "ruin" the planet.

For some planets, that's still not really going to
impact them in any meaningful way :)

Half the size of Sindiath would put them in the low
hundreds of ships.  That's a lot of ships (but when
scattered out, not so many :) ).  

Of course, one thing you might want to start thinking
about is strife involving the Celestians.  Corruption
in the College, that type of thing, to add to the
adventure.  Perhaps there are greedy guards who allow
all manner  of smuggling, demon-possessed teachers,
that sort of thing, just so they aren't all "goody
goody" :)
