    Throwing asteroids is more “destroying” than taking a planet. If you wanna take a planet it’s nice to be able to do something with it afterwards.

      Neither the Republic nor the Empire had the habit of “taking” a planet. The Republic was a federation of almost independent planets, and the Empire used the same structure with just a random intervention here or there if one tried to actually act independently. And the Empire interventions were much more on the lines of “destroying” than “taking”.
