An empire by definition is privately owned and run by a single major power. The Death Star was also a military base and a weapon. So there would be no public sector workers on there unless they knew and accepted the risks or were imprisoned there.

    The literal backstory for the death star lead designer is that his family is held at gunpoint to force his cooperation.

    Are we to believe this is an isolated event or that the Empire simply took what they wanted?

    What about the second death star? It was still under construction. Killed a bunch of working class people just trying to make a living.
