My point by saying Ara Muzdi is dead: It's completely unable to be repaired. Because it's a relic from Obeidon, it was torn apart by the ending of the multiverse and the Emperor transporting it here with the refugee force. They had technology to control several universes, it's to be expected if each empire has only 20 systems or so. It's more of a throne for the Emperor really, and the nanodiamond on its hull is being used for other sources. It's weapons are completely non-functional, and supercarriers capable of repairing it weren't brought with the Emperor. (TBH though it's more for symbolism that'll be there in stories later)

I never said that they would use conscripts - the majority of the active population are workers, missionaries and farmers trying to keep the Empire going. The armies brought with them are a tiny fraction of their whole force. The teachings of Antarism wouldn't allow conscripts to occur anyways, too many fragments of Mattias would be gone with untrained soldiers. I've never claimed that they could take down the entire milky way either - on Yuy's blog post he says specifically that they would be beaten back by one or two major powers quite easily in the third crusade.
