Star Forge without the many thousands needed to crew its ships would leave only a droid brain. Han Solo once noted the lack innovation and initiative of a droid controlled Star Destroyer. He took one out with the Millennium Falcon's quad guns.
Originally posted by Pwned"While the amount of clone stormtroopers, from all genetic sources and not just the Fett template, was far greater than the GAR, clone soldiers bred for the Galactic Empire generally exhibited poor marksmanship and lacking in tactics: strategy basically involved charging towards the enemy, weapons blasting until all targets were neutralized - regardless of clone casualties. They were even known to refuse to follow orders and fire on their own allies because of the clone madness. As a result, the Empire eventually abandoned the technology and pursued the process of recruiting troopers in more traditional ways."
Spaarti cloning cylinders would provide troops
Thrawn required Ysalamiri to neutralize the Force that would prevent clone madness. Being that the OP makes no mention of the little lizards...
"Grand Admiral Thrawn discovered thousands of cylinders in the Emperor's secret storehouse in Mount Tantiss on Wayland and used them to create an army of clones to man his Dreadnaught fleet."
The Katana Fleet style of Dreadnaughts require about 2,200 crew. And as the OP states that fleet is here, I take it the ships are being manned by Spaarti clones, just like in the novels. That leaves... not a lot left over, if any at all. Considering how, of the 178 ships Thrawn captured of the Fleet, they'd require over 300,000 crew members.
