    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)
