SWTOR Mother Machine and Darth Sidious DE

In SWTOR, Nox went to the Mother Machine because of the degradation as a byproduct of absorbing too much ghost. Given that Sidious' clones are suffering from accelerated degradation because the clones cannot handle Sidious' power, theoretically, would the Mother Machine be the solution to this problem if Sidious had it?

Yes, it should fix the problem for Palpatine.

Maybe. Nox’s situation was caused from gaining too much power too quickly according to multiple quotes during the story, not because her body couldn’t handle that level of power given time (i.e. if she’d grown more). Sidious’ power was inherent to him and grew at a rapid pace but became so destructive he simply couldn’t cope on a physical level.

For his original body, Sidious used 20 billion people as batteries and had midi-chlorian manipulation on top, but they didn't help. His clone bodies are even more fragile.

Unless the Mother Machine is unbelievably sophisticated, it won't be able to do anything.

Mother Machine is a Rakatan construct (AI-driven and self-aware); a Rakatan construct of significance is usually an arcane combination of technologies which draw much of their power from the Force as well as through mining of the MATTER (natural; extraterrestrial), for the desired outcome. Therefore, its OUTPUT is likely to be significant in statistical terms and otherwise.

Rakatans have developed seemingly impossible things throughout their history including The Foundry and The Star Forge. Constructs which could not be replicated by the Republic among others at any point in time. Rakatan technologies offer solution to problems for which there were none throughout history.

The Iokath also produced stuff which surprised the Republic and the Empire in spite of all their advances over time. The Eternal Empire was based on Iokath technologies under the leaderhip of Tenebrae (Valkorion).

General impression is that the extremely ancient civilizations were the true architects including the Celestials. There are sources which suggest that The Rakatans, The Iokath, and The Gree served the Celestials at some point but each civilization became too powerful in time and the Celestials lost control.

The reason Sidious' clone bodies degraded is because his physician accepted a bribe and sabotaged them.

They were already more vulnerable to the dark side. The last batch was just exceptionally shit because of that.
