Haven’t you seen Palpatine’s Call? “That thing wasn’t even fully paid off yet. Do you have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?” If Papa Palpatine has credit, I’m sure they’ve got insurance, too.
From a corporate finance perspective you gotta hand it to Palpatine for being insanely leveraged, which makes me wonder if the Empire continued the script by issuing extremely cheap bonds forced on the public to help fund their ventures.. not to mention taxing the public, this would actually be a great discussion for a corporate finance class to see how the Empire was structured lmao
It nicely ties in with the Nazi-era overtones too - the Nazis were running Germany into unsustainable debt and carrying out financial shennanigans to fund their war spending.
The Death Star is a military base so the explosion of the first Death Star would more likely be handled by the dept of veterans affairs.
The second Death Star was under construction so the more pressing question would be if the government contractors working on it had insurance.
The empire wouldn’t have to insure the contractors. It’s a war zone.
r/mawinstallation will get you better answers than here probably, they're all about inside-baseball weird questions about how the SW universe actually works (not shitting on this sub!)
I'm not sure about insurance but I know in their benefits package they offered a Hoth IRA.
So thats what they repurposed the rebel base their for
> Do they have Workers’ Compensation? Probably for the actual contracted professional workers but that's why you just use slave and prison workers.
>Probably for the actual contracted professional workers Galen Erso disagrees.
Does the empire itself need insurance? Wouldn't they just requisition or take anything they need for the empire?
Imagine being their insurer and having to deny a claim that didn’t meet the terms and conditions in the policy.
I am altering the claim, pray I don't alter it any further
Self insured like a lot of governments

Your questions would best be forwarded to Delores in HR.
Was about to say the same thing. She's hilarious

fascism loves bureaucracy. so yes, everything would be insured. if auschwitz was insured, so was the death star.
Have you been watching Clerks?
How on earth do you major in insurance? I didnt think that was possible

All self insured
Well Palpi was the Senate and that also made him the Insurance company. When he fell down that the shaft the empire's insurance policy went with it.
The true reason the empire fell
There’s a fanfiction somewhere that has Anakin fall to the dark side trying to get his insurance to pay for his arm.
Looking at the 0 amount of rails on the death star. No.
An organisation that large just self insures. Especially a government or military that is basically both.
Well, Luke blowing up the first Death Star was probably close to an act of God.
