Janus X's insinuation was simply because a planet is capable of holding "millions/billions" that it does, and thusly that's the amount he drained. The fact that Tatooine doesn't hold that, or that there are not that many inhabitants leads one to believe that it's not necessarily the case.
How does any of what you're saying suggest that they numbered even in the millions? It doesn't. We don't have to consider anything, in fact, because the amount of Miraluka were not specified.
Galantos is also where the Fia (a sentient species) reside at, yet they have half a million in terms of their population (source: Coruscant and the Core Worlds). Aside from the fact that the planet itself is locationed in the Core Worlds, along a trade route. So, you really don't have a point. [/B]
My point was simply that Tatooine's population shouldn't be a marker for planets, without the population densities of Corellia and Coruscant. Whether or not Katarr had millions or billions of civilians is irrelevant.
Besides, it wasn't just the Miraluka that were killed but every living organism.

No one said that it was, I was simply demonstrating that because a planet may be able to hold millions or billions, that it necessarily isn't the case. Which I've stated. Tatooine was only an example, as I gave another, Galantos. It has nothing to do with being a "marker".
And you also tried to somehow suggest that the numbers may have not been so low due to the fact it was "home to an entire race", which doesn't hold true in the least bit.

I don't recall saying that I gave a shit about flora or fauna.

Yeah! I was suggesting, but that's all it was a suggestion.

That was me just scribbling on about the enormity of the loss, given how rich in plant and animal life Katarr was.
