      Could still establish orbit and adjust spin in a way so they are tidally locked

        Then you don’t get the spin you need but whatever is compatible with the thing you are orbiting.

        a tidally locked orbit like that isn’t going to generate 1g of force though. Earth’s tidally locked moon only rotates once every 27 days.

          It’s manned by military personel who should expect not having comfortable 1g all the time (either way doesn’t matter as Star Wars has magic gravity anyways)

        Yes but once you start spinning you want to keep spinning, and that kinda fucks with turning in any direction because of the angulam momentum.
